I keep seeing many skeptics saying that God is an imaginary friend. Or that there is no evidence or empirical evidence for God or Jesus. And I'm wondering. Without sounding like a testimony. Without getting into it too much. Would people share if they have seen or experienced God or Jesus. I will try to add a poll. I will say that. When you see Jesus day after day sitting next to you in a light. Everyone telling you that you imagined it. Get's very hard to accept. If you have seen Jesus. You will know it's not just a visual experience. It is huge. It overwhelms you. You aren't not sure. It's not like thinking you saw a Ghost. And getting spooked. It is 100 percent.

I have never seen Jesus but I have seen with spiritual eyes and experienced with my whole being the presence of the Holy Spirit. I have also been visited by Mother Mary on two occasions when I was interceding for two different people. I could see her, again, with spiritual eyes, I also saw a golden sparkly presence and something else happened when she was next to me. It was sublime. Both people were healed when she made herself present.

I was with a friend in Rome October of 2007 and we were exploring some of the many chapels around St Peter's Square. She was truly taken away into a spirit as she visited one of the smaller chapels. I walked out the door and within a few steps was standing near the tall pyramid marking Peter's place of martyrdom. It was a warm day late in October and the sky was so blue it would take your breath away. There was a timelessness in that place. The buildings and statuary so ancient and the sky so immediate and ageless. It is one of my best memories. In that single day I felt at peace and wished it could go on forever. And it will, forever in my memories.

I have sensed the majesty of God the Father, and the love of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit. This has happened countless times over the decade. Song lyrics:
In the presence of Jehovah
God Almighty, Prince of Peaces
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended
In the presence of the King.
In the presence of Jehovah
God Almighty, Prince of Peaces
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended
In the presence of the King.
One's reality is another's nightmare.

"God" is just an english word or lable we attach to an entity with certain characteristics. Having said that, then yes, most definitely, in many forms, avatars etc., for over 40 years. You know my story. I wont repeat it again. We all attribute something when we experience the reality of god, and you can see that in the individual accounts here, but across all human experinces ther are a number of common characteristics to such an experience.
In my experience, an encouter with god has several elements to it, just like an encouter with an elephant. There is the physical encouter where you see, smell, and might touch or be touched. You can see the wrinkles in the skin and feel the breath on your face.
All this can be shared, with other peope, ether with that elephant, or who have had a smilar experience with another elephant, in another time and place,
But then there is all the internal; dialogue,understandings, thoughts, reflections, emotional responses etc. and experiece; which is individual.
In the case of god it is also as if the elephant can talk to you, send you images, knowledge etc. It is as if you can become the elephant, and see the world through its eyes, smell the earth through its nose, and feel as it feels.
ANd because god is very sapient and very knowedgeable, there is an extra dimension of power and knolwedge, including a transcendence of current time and space, one does not get from sharing ones consciousness with a elephant

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world..
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

It's good to be mildly skeptical to remain sane. But too much of it will make you a douche.

At one point of my life I thought that I did. Guess what? It was all in my head. Since then I don't give a flying frak about such things.

Jesus? Yes, in a few rare and pivotal dreams. As well as other spiritual/religious figures, some that I didn't even know had names/existed until after these images motivated me to investigate and study further, subsequently finding out that these figures were significant in other religions I'd never bothered or concerned myself with before (Shiva, Heva, Sariel, and others I've yet to place a name to). Also right around the time when I began having minor prescient experiences. But despite all my logical efforts to find suitable answers or evidence for why or how, I still have to just accept it as is. Don't like that particularly, but it is what it is. Just having the connection is ... reassuring.
Now is not the time.
