Somewhat OT, but have you ever hurt yourself during the practice of metaphysical practices?
Have you ever sparked an out of control, autonomous process such as so-called Kundalini?
IMHO other than deception and misidentifiations, "UFOs" are often occult phenomenon,
and the rabid believers are really being unwitting occultists.
So this aspect is not actually OT.

Ok, there you stepped into the deep subjective end.
I've been avoiding that part for years.

Physical is something related to the body as opposed to the mind. God is something related to the mind as opposed to the body. Plain and simple.
Physical God is the primitive idea of God - God of trees, lighting, winds, storm etc. or other univers phenomena.
I'm sorry. I can't work with any of those definitions and do justice to the subject.
In my view, it makes little sense to even use the word "God", yet on the other hand, I do acknowledge that due to possible defects or influences in how we evolved, we do tend to anthropomorphize nearly everything.
That said, at the end of the day, if I were pressed to answer in a primitive manner, I would say that "god" is the primary set of the laws of physics above the level of the many Universes which pop into and out of existence, and that yes, indeed, in some manner of speaking, there is sentience baked into the very root of things.
That's my logical/physics hat.
My "failed shaman hat" would respond differently, but, it would be pointless for me to respond from that frame of reference, to anyone but another "failed or not so failed shaman" or a similar person.
Of course i do talk about such topics as "god" in a fast and loose manner sometimes, like most anyone..
when I'm not attempting any great accuracy.

We don't seem to be connecting on this topic, sorry.

I am not accepting your definitions, so no argument is possible.
Don't feel bad; I'm really annoying with some topics, as I don't accept
the language or presuppositions or other cultural baggage.
