God (Part 1 of 3)

 

2.1 God: Part One–Introduction

Have you ever experienced or realized God? 

Perhaps you are thinking that this is a question that is above you. Perhaps you believe in God and have faith in God's existence. Whether you have had a personal direct experience of God–well, isn't that the realm of prophets or a select few lucky people on Earth? If this is what you think, than I have good news for you.

This is the destiny of all souls on earth, yours and mine included.
