God cant be found because he is an idea of thought. God doesnt exist.

Knowing God requires more than philosophy, though I do appreciate rational thought.
I have no idea what God is. I do not know what I am.
I know that I am just an idea. But what is is not the idea. God is what is.

you think you know is all and that's fine but again its a thought only. What can be known is not what you are, identification to what you are not can be fun but will eventually mislead you. Again the you jumps in!! Trying its hardest to be what it is not.
To see what you are, you must not try to see, but just see. All I see is ideas, so I know I am the creator. What can be known is ideas, but the ideas are not what what is is, but what what is can do. I am that which can create ideas.

I know that I am an idea, but do not know what I am because I created my own idea. How do you create something from something which you do not know what it is? It cannot be what it really is, but just an idea. So I am not the idea, but the idea is my only reference. Unless I have no idea, at which point I am what I am–a mystery.

So you don't know where you came from or what you are, but you know for a fact that you're an idea. Wow. This really is an informative thread. Thanks you for sharing your confusion with me.edit on 8-12-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
