before discussions come definitions

I can see the scene on my way home almost as yesterday. A voice without sound said within me, God is Existence. I cannot recall my age but it happened in those early days before one is conscious of time. I had no idea what the word existence meant nor its' significance. 

Today I am a lot closer to the end of my life than the beginning. I discovered the meaning reading the ancient writers where it was reported by Moses when he asked God who shall he say sent him. 

According to Moses, in very likely the earliest definition of God, that defined Himself as I am that I am. This is an obvious reference to Existence. He did not create existence He is existence. 

Since God is unseen and is universally described as a spirit, in particular a personalized spirit of ourselves, and also since, we were given existence by definition. This we should remind ourselves contributes to a definition, not a theory.

Therefore the earliest spoken definition, God is the personified spirit of existence. This is, as we emphasized earlier is a definition, not a theory. Without a definition how could two individuals discuss it within themselves?

God is, in the popular definition, a or the supreme being, which could easily be confused with idols. Physics  is now quite comfortable discussing the unseen. At one time seeing was believing to many, but it gradually became true to me that believing is seeing. Today this is more universally recognized.
