What is God

I thought a lot about this question. But does god even know the answer? I mean to start with, would he not have had as many questions as we? After all he did just create the answers. (made them up) Maybe she had to invent the concept of questions first? Did I just call god she oops, blonde moment.
Why ….is a question, one that can be expressed by pure emotion, with out a single word. Simply through pure curiosity itself. WHY? Curiosity is good if your not a cat.
I wrote a short story a few years ago which is now a blog. I called it “The theory of everything The Birth of Hydrogen the first lucid dream” Bit of a mouthful but I liked it so I kept it.

Focusing on your question "What Is God?"

“The question is the word. It has so many connotations, means so many things, has such a history, that I wonder if we need to be using different language.”
and
“How about Spirit or spirit? I've heard people use this word effectively to get away from some of the negative connotations of God. How would your wife respond to that?”

Realistically we create unity in the world by accepting the task of learning someone else's language. We go to their country and learn how to say hello perhaps.
We don't create peace by suggesting they change their words to ours or change theirs and ours to a completely new vocabulary which lets face it words won't solve the actual problem here. But Love will.

God has been called many things Lord, Jealous, Budah, Harry, Jesus, Yahweh.

This last one mentioned is said to mean “I am” or “I will be”

But despite the ancient tradition that a name actually told you so much about a person.
This name raises a question……….
What ….will you be? “I will be what”
What ….are you? “I am what”

The apostle John answered this and I think everyone will agree “GOD IS LOVE”

Love is a spirit God is a spirit.
Emotions are also spirit
Like the spirit of love or the spirit of hate. Tho' negative emotions like darkness are a lack of spiritual energy rather than a source.

Reductionism would help if we all new more about how the words we do use mean the same things
Love = emotion =spirit =god= energy=motion

If god in actual fact does not exist. But we humans have everlasting life after we die, if in the after life we have better technology than we do now. We might just build god. What would stop us interfacing telepathically with each other? Mobile phones can “telepathically” interface computer brains / hard drives now in the physical world.

When linked the definition of me will be changed from we to I am.

If every living being among us, one day reaches this level, and we all join consciousness as one single mind we shall also master time travel easily .

At Babylon god confused the languages, because humans were uniting as one people.
God said if we don't stop this they will grow strong and “nothing will be impossible for them”

Then we will be god and can travel back to the beginning of time to tell the first god everything that will happen in the future……………………

Or maybe we already did that just we haven't remembered yet?
Hey even if there is no after life or god.

We will one day understand science fully and cure every disease.
We already know the genetic cause of old age and how to stop it. The problem currently in question is not can we prevent old age and death, but who should get it and how much should it cost.

So even if previous said scenario was to be in a Matrix of human consciousness, uploaded into an Internet of human brains. If our brains were all fitted with blue tooth tech so we all become one mind. Then we still can achieve this building of god and going back in time thing.

Maybe when we go back in time we could scan a few brains from the past and resurrect them in the future.

I'm still convinced we will build a god machine one day which can travel back to meet the first god, he'll probably be sitting trying to work out what the future will hold and all of a sudden as if by magic a computerised god from the future appears to tell him how to do everything.
