What if there are really God/god existing in this forum and are the one's responsible for creating super cyclones, earthquakes and massacres? We know that God/god is compassionate but God/god could also be vengeful. There is maybe a God/god of love existing yet this God/god can't do anything to stop the destruction and killing. Hence the dilemma of giving God a personality. It says in Vedic Scriptures that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Since we are part & parcel of God, we possess traits Krsna possess but not 100 percent. It's said Lord Siva has 80-90 percent of Krsna's traits. A regular human being may possess between 50-60 percent. Krsna is simply without a second.

Prior to this self-realization thing, I was into the charismatic movement evangelizing the word of God in Holy Bible. Yet I could not find the answers to most of my questions. It was only when a childhood friend, Gaurasundara das lend me his books, The Teachings of Lord Chaitanya, the Bhagavadgita As It Is & 64 volumes of Srimad Bhagavatam that all my questions were answered after months of deep reflection. The answer to the mysteries in the Holy Bible unfolded before me when I refer them to these Vedic Scriptures. I did not have to go through the long process by what you do to become self-realized. There are lots of speculation in the realm of non-dualism. Like sifting the chaff from the grain. All I have to do is take what is written in Srimad Bhagavatam what it says. The literature is credible and authoritative. The teachings/writings are handed down from God himself via the parampara system/disciplic succession. Then answer this one: "So we ask why God do that way. We can not fathom the mind of God why He does these things e.g. creating Hurricane Harvey or influence the minds of people to kill." There are unlimited questions only my limited questions were answered from this book Srimad Bhagavatam. From there when I was satisfied I stopped asking questions because I felt it was a waste of time. I only got the answers I wanted.

Life has been presenting those questions for as long as there have been people. I don't have any answer for you that can be defended by intellect. You might try praying to that God of love, or you can go about seeking answers a different way. A way that involves looking inward toward where those questions emerge. Prior to this self-realization thing, I was into the charismatic movement evangelizing the word of God in Holy Bible. Yet I could not find the answers to most of my questions. It was only when a childhood friend, Gaurasundara das lend me his books, The Teachings of Lord Chaitanya, the Bhagavadgita As It Is & 64 volumes of Srimad Bhagavatam that all my questions were answered after months of deep reflection.

I already knew that when Krsna caused to happen the Battle of Kuruksetra..Hundreds of thousands died in that senseless war initiated by Krsna. Who can question God for doing that. Afterall we are all Krsna's creations. God can take away anytime lives. He uses man as His instrument of destruction. He used USA to drop those nuclear bombs in Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

You're still trying to put God into a personal role. It isn't that. It's the sound of the musicians playing, it's the sound of the gunfire, it's the crowd thinking that the gunfire is fireworks. It's the screams of the crowd when they realise they are being shot at. God is the silence at the end of the 9 minutes of death. God in the Vedic scriptures is Vasudeva, the Cause of all causes. God can directly kill his enemies in the likes of Kamsa & Putana. God has no remorse killing anybody. God knows it's only the body that is killed. The self/soul can not be killed. Once the body dies, the self/soul from within takes another body. Those who got killed in the Las Vegas massacre are their bodies that got killed. But their selves/souls are not. They got killed maybe of their past karma. Paddock the killer also has this past karma to settle with those he killed. From within Paddock is God the paramatma who allowed the shooter to shoot those attending the concert in Las Vegas. Man proposes God disposes. Nothing that happens in this world does not have a hand of God. So, the only way for us to be happy is surrender to God and pray God will be merciful to us. Does the right side of your brain show extreme over activity when writing a perspective of this kind?

And, as a cultural description it has no difference to your description of finding God at the centre of the mind of man.

EEG results won't reveal that kind of reading when I am not writing that kind of belief. Leads should be attached to my head when I am impassioned to write that belief again. I will let you know so you can prepare another appropriate similar question for me to answer it under EEG.
