We must recognize here in the 21st-century that God is not a person of any kind. That God does not keep a location like heaven and certainly not one like hell. So we must understand what GD is and that’s difficult because it is nothing it’s more like gravity. We don’t actually totally understand gravity, but we know what it does and it does it equally for every person and all the time. And that’s the best we can say about God whatever it does it does equal equally for every person and does it all the time like gravity. But we don’t really go around talking to gravity, or thinking that gravity is going to help us or be beneficial for us individually to the detriment of other people. This is really something to think about and when you think about it rationally and in light of what we know about the universe now and about how life came about now and about what happens at death, we realize that the old God of the Bible needs to be put back on the shelf
I agree with what you say here. I stress that I am not a quantum physicist, but I read an excellent, totally readable book on quantum physics called "We Have No Idea" by Jorge Cham & Daniel Whiteson. It comes ultimately to the conclusion that beyond the smallest particles known (or unknown) [cf. the Hadron Collider] there exists only pure, infinite, uncaused energy. The entire universe is a manifestation of that energy. For me it comes as close as anything to any useful 'definition' of God. It reinforces for me that there is not a conflict between Science and Religion.
This brings me back to what Rami says. The Yud Hay Vav Hay for me means 'What Is' (AKA Reality). I am made up of that Reality, expressing itself here as a very small 'Ted'. The imagery that Rami and Frank have produced gels with me -- I can feel it in my bones, as they say.

I have started thinking of non-duality as the answer to a particle or a
wave. Very fun thinking.
