Author Neale Donald Walsch wrote a series of books, including What God Wants. What God Wants is a good starting places for those of you who were raised muslim, christian or jewish (you all share a god, by the way). His understanding appears a bit shallow, which may be a function of many things. Start with WGW if you are from one of the traditional religions mentioned above.
Then wrap your head around this [from The Zensufi Golden Path]:
Why God does and Does not Exist
Created in his image,
everywhere, in all,
I cannot point a finger
that does not land on him.
He is nowhere to be found,
so finally I am free.
We cannot look anywhere and not see god. There is no separation between him and all things. But god is a shadow. Our understanding is so small that we place god into the nature of a being. We call out that god is love, but cannot see that this is a statement of the basis.
Yes, god is love.
Yes, god is everywhere.
Our ignorance keeps these truths, fights for them, and yet we have as much understanding of them as if they were written in a foreign tongue. We are so divorced from god that we do not even know his name, only his title.
God only exists until you understand love. Then he vanishes, for he never was separate from divine love, just as we are not separate.
God is love? No. Love is god.
