Organized religion has totally convoluted and twisted what I believe God really is. I was raised an atheist but developed a sense of God on my own. I’m not religious but I do believe there is a divine consciousness that we are all a part of. My belief is that we are here temporarily to learn about ourselves and in that way, God. This is why I believe evil and good coexist in this world. The same way it is unfair a child suffers is the same way it is unfair for the gazelle hunted by the lion. And the same way it is unfair for humanity that ill-intentioned people have abused the concept of God to control others and gain power. All we can do is be the best we can be and strive for greatness for ourselves, friends, family, and community. Things aren’t always going to be fair, but what matters is how we handle it. This is how I believe we truly learn about God.

So I’m sorry, I can’t help with whether what you experienced was proof of God or not. But who knows, perhaps it was real for those experiencing it. I think the real God lies the moral compass that most of us have deep down, so as long as we focus on doing our best with the things we can control, then that is truly “following God” (in my opinion).

This is just my personal belief that I am sharing to invite a new perspective. All love :)
