I think I believe in “god” the same way Einstein did. And also a lot of more mystical and esoteric cosmology makes a lot of sense to me… Like Alchemy (not like proto-chemistry, but like Hermes Trimagistus), Advaita Vedanta and Yoga, Kabbalah, Sufism, ancient Egyptian religion etc.
And I have this thing where if something repeats enough in history, in unrelated places at unrelated times, there must be some truth within it.
Anyways, I see god as “the ultimate reality”. As the base level of existence. As “being” without anything else. There is one “I”, and it’s god. Everything we see and experience, even “ourselves” is just a projection within god.
Also, I feel the rational mind has overtaken humanity in a pretty negative way. Everyone identifies as their mind nowadays, and are fully guided and controlled by it. Neglecting all the other senses.
In Ancient Greece, they “felt” their selves within their hearts. That’s where they believed their “minds” were. I wouldn’t call it the mind, but I understand what they meant.
You can understand something using your “rational mind” (or “brain mind”), or you can understand it more internally in your “core”. It feels different, and the knowledge is different. One feels more external and the other more internalised. And being guided by the “heart mind” (or “intuition”) is much more productive and healthy imo.
The “brain mind” is really just a result of millions of years of evolution, with basically just one goal: survival. It never evolved to understand truth or reality. It’s an amazing tool that can do incredible things. It can certainly assist on the path towards truth. But it can’t get there. It can’t see it.
Which is why if you read Einstein talk about how he got his ideas for relativity, he says they just came to him. The best ideas are not the ones produced by the brain. Truth is an inherent part of reality. If you allow yourself to be open to it, you will find it. But if you search for it with your brain, you will only be led astray.
