You have to look into yourself to find your God - it may be harder to look up to god if you have to find him in yourself first

Christians believe that God is a being who is greater than any living being. The word "God" is a Christian perception.

The nature of reality is a game of hide and seek and your dreams become more and more daring until it finally turns into a message or lesson for reality.

As the Brahman is a self and not a God, the followers are not forced to believe in one sole leader, but can look up to the self and the God's as well.

Maya is a stage of dreaming, and that's cool because dreaming is fun when you can decide how it ends, when you can decide to the hero or complete your goals and dreams. Maya is a positive as you can choose your dreams and choose to keep dreaming.

Maya - the Hindu belief that the everyday world is an illusion and that the distinction between the self and the Universe is a false dichotomy.

How can we know what is the truth if we believe in maya?

Supreme reality of its self, plays hide and seek with its self.

What is the point of dreaming if you already know what's going to happen

If in the dream, (in relation to what Mr Conwell said) , we choose to believe in the dreams and what they are telling us, we create a false knowledge on how we see ourselves. But it confuses us because, like my other post, how can we know what is the truth

Your 'dreams' help create a way of looking at things. These views can be damaged or lessened by reality.

The nature of reality is a game of hide and seek, this means

that we as humans chose to take one road or another and

that process is repeated over and over again.

You dream a life that you wish you had and you dream it so much e it becomes so real you hallucinate that it is real and then reality hits you and you're suddenly confused as to what was real and what wasn't.

Hindu's believe that their God is everything, including Good and evil but Christians believe that their God is seperate from evil.

If God has created all, he has created good and also evil.
