Introduction:

“The most important matter in life is your relationship to the Infinite.”

“You were born to walk with God; why would you walk alone?”
--Author

“The yearning to be reunited with the Ground of Being…seems to be rooted in human consciousness, perhaps even encoded in our DNA.”
--from “Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu,” by Richard Hooper

This book is about knowing God. It is not a defense for the existence of God, however. If that’s the type of book you’re looking for, then you’ll need to go somewhere else. There are plenty of them around. Frankly, I find such books amusing. What’s the point of arguing for God’s existence when it is as impossible to prove he does as it is to prove he doesn’t? It’s like debating about whether there’s intelligent life on other planets. Either there is or there isn’t. But, until there’s an indisputable encounter it’s one person’s word against another and, too often, that just turns into needless debate.

One thing is for certain, an encounter with a UFO will have to be more believable than some of the preposterous stories reported so far. I recently saw somewhere—maybe it was YouTube, I don’t remember. But, somebody videotaped a UFO as it streaked like lightning across the Mojave sky at midnight. Have you ever noticed that none of these pictures are ever clear or in focus? The tale of temporary alien abduction that accompanied these fuzzy video images was equally unclear and unbelievable.

As for the existence of God, my own suspicion is that the real reason why people write books that try to prove God exists is because they are secretly afraid he doesn’t.
