Christof Koch is a neuroscientist who did research about consciousness. He tried hard to find God for many hears, but did not find him:

Yogi Bhajan, master of Kundalini Yoga said about how to find God at 2:12 in the following video:

„We are all trained in the p. Chr. n. („post Chrīstum nātum“ which means “after the birth of Christ.”) age to find God outsite of us.

Also Moses found God outside of him talking to him from a burning bush:

And also Jesus Christ found God ousite of him. A voice from heaven said to Jesus::

“This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. “

Matthew 3:17 (at the end of the following video):

Yogi Bhajan further said in the video mentioned above about this topic:

„That is what the religion has told us. Look for God. And today some of our children are confused, as we once where confused, because we did not teach them to find God within ourselves. So when you do not try to find God within yourself, you will not find God at all. This tragedy has ruined man kind for many centuries.“

Yogi Bhajan was a Sikh who emigrated from India/Pakistan to the U.S. We suppose Yogi Bhajans statements are based the teachings of Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak was the founder of Sikhism who was born in the year 1469 in Pakistan.

Guru Nanak was looking for God outside of him, but he did not find him there. Then he spent 3 days in a river and had his spiritual enlightenment. And Guru Nanak found God within himself. The first thing Guru Nanak did after his enlightenment was to write a prayer. It is called the Jabjj Sahib, where he talks about God:

The Sikh Satpal Singh explains that Guru Nanak even went further. He says Guru Nanak’s greatest message was „You Are God“:

Interesting in the context is what we heard once from a man who grew up in Iran who was a Muslim. He said in Persian Language to be with yourself and to be with God means the same. This seems to be similar as with the Sikh religion which is based on Guru Nanak.

Buddhism is different, since it is a non-theistic religion. Buddhists don t believe in God. But the Tibetan Lama Soygal Rhinpoche explains something very interesting. Who are we?“ asked Soygal Rhinpoche. And he did not answer, „we are God“. Are we the thoughts and emotions we have, Soygal Rhinpoche asked. These things are always changing. So if we identify ourselves with our thoughts and emotions, this is not very reliable. But there is something which is always there, constant, and unchanging through our hole life. And this is the human cognizance. Look in Soygal Rhinpoche s teachings for the exact words he uses.

We are the conscious perception of our soul, as Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org would explain it. This conscious perception correlates with gamma wave activity in our brain.

And in Kundalini Yoga, there is the Mantra: „I Am the Light of My Soul“.

Different people and different religions use different words for the same or similar things.

Kundalini Yogis get up at 4 in the morning. They take a cold shower and then they start their Sadhana, which is Yoga training in the morning. A part of the training is to sing the the Jabjj Sahib of Guru Nanak. Yogi Bhajan brought Kundalini Yoga from India to the west. He says Sadhana gives you intuition. Yogi Bhajan often used the terms intuition and God as well as Guru Nanak. Bhajan also taught that meditation gives you intuition.

Richard Davidson found extraordinary high levels of gamma wave activity in the brains of Olympic level meditators:

These long-term meditation practitioners induce these gamma waves through meditation. And as Daniel Goleman explains, for instance to imagine to bite into an apple, which is also an intuition, correlates with gamma wave activity in the brain.

Sow with for instance Guru Nanak things become easier, he found God within himself. Yogi Bhajan said we can teach our children to find God within ourselves. Look in his teachings how this can be done. And choose the religion, the scientific explanation, or whatever fit s best for your need.
