What is God?








An excellent 2-part interview with Professor Jacob Needleman on his latest book, 'What Is God?', shedding light on the relationship between this Being we call "God" and the attention factor in human beings.

















From the interview:

"The real illusion is that people feel that God can act in the world of human affairs with all the ordinary people who are not developed according to how they're meant to be developed. So in that sense, it's awakened human beings which are needed for God to act in the world; that's the way of putting it in a short form.

As for one of the proofs for the existence of God, I would say, as a philosopher who's studied a lot of the proofs for the existence of God, and this may not sound like much of a proof, but one of the greatest proofs for the existence of God is the existence of men and women who are inhabited by what you might call God".
