Of course you can know God in this life
but it will take eternity to search His depths.

Westwend -
I'm with you. I took your "let it be" to mean to let the divine within come out so as to experience it. Then one can say one"knows" something of "God".

in order to know something
one has to experience that something.
i deal only with what i know
i search and discover and when i discover what i discover is added to what i know
since the only thing we really know is what is experienced moment to moment, then that is what we need to absorbed with.
nothing else
Yeshua said, basically, to take care of the here and now. the then and there will take care of itself -- it will come when it comes.
I disagree with a lot of people -- "too much heaven on their minds", to quote Jesus Christ Superstar -- who want to project to some afterlife and some place that we don't really know about. They are absorbed with what is not really known.
The way to know god is to understand the pretty well known here and now and not the undefined future.

Not at all! Sorry, I thought I had. I like how Unicorn described it - knowing the character of "God". It seems that it would be hard to know "God" in the way that we speak of knowing someone, since "God" is everything.

to your posts since you never reply to them.

JustA and Westwend -
The best way to experience "God" is to "let it be". By doing so, you'll allow for the divine within to come to out.

Yes...
Act as though you are God…in Gods Kingdom.
But just like God…know that you are responsible for and to yourself.

yes, you 'know' God. Understand. Have relationship,
friendship. Whatever you want. In order for one to have a friend, one must show himself friendly.
