Do we have to believe in God?

I've written before that God is literally beyond belief. By that I mean that the word 'belief' doesn't even apply to God. God is in the realm of knowledge. God merely IS.

But that answer seems glib. The question is asking whether we humans need to have a belief system that includes God. And, of course, the answer is NO. That which is Real is real whether we believe in it or not. That which is illusion is false whether we believe in it or not.

God, as I define It here, is a word that denotes the Changeless, the Eternal, the Real. Our human minds were purposefully designed to not operate in this format. Human minds operate according to contrasts and comparisons, relative truths.

I will state one thing, though: You will make more rapid and noticeable progress in your spiritual path if you will at least consider that there is Something beyond human perception. Even if you don't know what It Is, or what to call It, at least consider that your senses don't give you the complete picture.

Once that is easy to accept, the next step is to ASK. Again, doesn't matter if you ASK God, or Allah, or Jesus, or Mary, or the Ghost of Ray Charles. Just ASK.

And then be open to the Answer, when it arrives.

Don't get hung up on what to call the Answer, either.
