Instruments/Tools To Perceive God

Perhaps I have been avoiding coming close to God because of the
extraordinary confusion surrounding the subject. Maybe I have just lacked
the tools with which to be able to discover God. The whole universe of
things going on within a tiny drop of blood can be instantly revealed by the
use of a tool or an instrument like the microscope. In the same way, the
secrets behind realities of the self, the non-physical, spiritual self and
the reality of God remain hidden until undiscovered by the appropriate
instruments or tools. *With which tools or instruments then, can I perceive
or experience God?* *Since God is non-physical, the tools would also
definitely be non-physical in nature.*

That I haven't been able to understand myself is amply demonstrated by the
periods of confusion and inner turmoil I go through.  Sometimes I don't
understand those with whom I share the same room or house, let alone my
neighbors next door! The word ‘misunderstanding’ occurs frequently even in
the closest of my relationships. It indicates that the quality of my mind,
consciousness or even conscience hasn't been sufficiently clear to establish
real rapport between myself and others. The realization and experience of
God remain even further out of reach.

There's a very specific methodology involved in firstly understanding and
organizing myself, and from that, coming to terms with God. *I already have
the most powerful of all instruments, the energy of my own mind, to work
with. The extent to which I am able to research into the subject of
God-realization depends on the quality of my thoughts and feelings.*
