God is everywhere present, including the here and now. God is not elsewhere, such as only in a distant heaven or in the future so as to be available only when one gets to heaven. The presence of God is thus available to everyone all the time. To realize this is just a matter of awareness. It is said that without the help of a guru, savior, or avatar, this awareness is unlikely to occur in the lifetime of most people, which may be true.
God is beyond perception, duality, positionality, or having parts. God is beyond all opposites, such as good and bad, right and wrong, win and lose. Like the sun, God shines equally on all. God’s love is not reserved for the favored few. It is, however, experienced directly only by the few, but it does shine through the clouds via the love we experience with others, including even pets and nature. The degree to which one experiences the presence of God’s love varies markedly from one person to another, depending on one’s level of consciousness.
