Navigating the Mystery: Why Can't God Be Found if He Exists?

The question of God's existence and our ability to find Him has puzzled humanity for millennia. Some believe that the very concept of God is too abstract or too beyond our means, making it impossible to truly encounter or communicate with the divine. But my experience serves as a compelling counterpoint to this argument. I was once a sceptic, but a personal experience proved that God is not only real but accessible through faith and sincere prayer.

From Skeptic to Seeker

My journey began as a skeptic. The notion of a Supreme Being existed within the realm of philosophy, but in my practical experience, it seemed as intangible as the horizon. My doubts were deeply rooted in a need for concrete proof, something that my senses could verify and validate. But one personal experience changed everything.

At 18-19 years old, I faced a significant health challenge that medical intervention could not solve. This obstacle brought me to my knees, both physically and mentally. Amidst the chaos, a friend introduced me to the idea that through Jesus, one could experience a two-way communication with the divine. This intrigued me, for it suggested that God wasn't merely an abstract concept but a living, active presence.

A Supernatural Encounter

The turning point came when I decided to trust in the power of faith. I asked Jesus to heal my body, not out of desperation but with unwavering trust. Unlike the skeptical disbelief I had previously held, this was a matter of heart and soul. Days passed, and doubt began to creep in. Was it even possible that God could intervene in such a tangible way?

One afternoon, I was in my room alone when a hand touched me. It was a physical sensation, but no visible hand was present. This connection was profound and unnerving. As I remained calm, reminded that Jesus promised to deliver, the problem in my body gradually subsided. The experience was surreal and vivid, leaving me in awe and disbelief.

From that day forward, my perspective shifted dramatically. This encounter demonstrated to me that the supernatural is real and near, even if it's hard to believe. In the face of human suffering, the concept of a benevolent divine presence becomes even more compelling.

Access to the Divine

While my personal encounter through faith serves as a testament to God's accessibility, the philosophical underpinnings of eastern wisdom provide further insight. Eastern philosophers have long posited that there is one energetic essence or source for the entire cosmos, whose fundamental nature is non-material. This essence, or the One Supreme Original Cause, is both the creator and creation itself.

The equation E mc^2 from Einstein's theory of relativity corroborates the idea that the essence from which everything arises is not bound by the material world. It suggests that you, I, and the entire universe are made of this one energetic essence. While we cannot directly experience this essence, we can imagine and understand it through various means of contemplation and faith.

The Essence of Existence

Eastern wisdom further supports the idea that in essence, we are the creator. The analogy of the ocean and a drop of water or a wave is often used to illustrate this concept. Just as the drop of water is the ocean in essence, so too are we the Creator in essence. This idea is not only profound but also philosophically sound, leaving no room for doubt.

In conclusion, the mystery of God's existence and our ability to find Him is not based on the limitations of our senses but rather on our capacity for faith, understanding, and imagination. Through personal experience and philosophical insights, we can encounter and understand the divine. The journey to God isn't about following a religion but about forming a genuine relationship with the infinite.
