Once you impose restrictions you may well be eliminating the truth.
You're conscious, nobody doubts that.
If you enquire of a passive unknowing universe which is capable of many responses, and if you follow the response which you find meaningful, then you're defining God yourself. At the same time you're approaching him, clarifying and his refining his nature, engaging in dialog. That's still only one consciousness, your own. God emerges from your interaction with reality. Your path is undoubtedly going to be different to mine. What we find will be quite different Gods - some vengeful fundamentalist power-freaks, some broken powerless quiet voices, an entire pantheon. But if you try, sometimes you might find you get what you need.
