That's a good answer. Shawn didn't ask me as a challenge to my beliefs, which he shares, I think. He was just curious if and how I might define God. If someone genuinely asks me why I believe or how I know, and the question is not asking for a fight, which question I get often especially with regard to reincarnation and this being my 17,043rd life, which I state as and know as facts not just belief, I answer by describing my journey and awakening and what I have experienced. I created this About Me story last year to answer those questions from one reader. https://medium.com/about-me-stories/my-journey-spiritual-and-otherwise-9d5f6aca18ee
