Does God really have an explanation?

a logical argument. But what is Logic in the first place? I think it is something that is understood as a direct experience of it, like the color red for example.

Do you consider "the sun shines because of nuclear fusion" a logical argument or merely an assertion? What about "molecules consist of atoms" or "life is like a river"? Are these explanations?

[LSD-Rumi]

These are part of logic but they are not examples of the basic pillars of it. A better example would be, "Everything has a beginning", "one plus one equal two", and "a thing can exist or not exist, not both at the same time" but even those don't really explain what logic is. I think to understand Logic, you must go totally mad, like insanely mad to the point where there is no logic, and then return back. Logic cannot be explained in words, it is an experience.

@LSD-Rumi I think an explanation is when you reduce something to something else. So all the examples I gave above are explanations, just different kinds. Another example would be "the sun rises because the Earth spins on its axis". Anyways, if you want to explain God, you would have to reduce God to something that is not God. But if God is everything that exists, then you can't reduce God to something that is not God, i.e. you can't explain God. There, I just explained how God can't be explained

Your entire dream= God. The totality of every dream that can ever be dreamed= God.

You can't think God.

Does your existence have an explanation? I am not talking about the body, I am talking about that innate awareness that’s within you right now. 
 

That does not need an explanation. It just is.

Mmm, God's infinite mind ≠ your finite human mind? ;D You can't think God, you can't perceive God, you can't feel God: you can only be God.

I try not to talk in terms of belief systems. I am not sure where you are coming from. I haven't looked into mind yet but I hold it as relative, otherwise it'd be better not to call it infinite. If it's infinite, it's neither mind nor thinking.

You do use the term imagination though, right? Imagination and mind go together.

Yup.

About being God, what is that about? Infinite mind? I consider mind to be relative but I know it's possible you're using the term differently than I am. Could it be Consciousness, or better be called that? Not that I know (have become conscious of) what I'm talking about.

[Yimpa]

All manifestations are you and not you simultaneously.

Containing Truth in one particular worldview is falsehood since Truth is all there. 

Truth = Falsehood in the absolute sense.

Ironically, that would also make it relative since Truth and Falsehood are two distinctions I just made.

And we only scratched the surface.

There is no individual thought, perception or feeling you can point to that encapsulates God. God is the totality, and you can only be the totality by being it.

Mind can mean a lot of things. That is why I tend to literally state the distinctions I'm making (e.g. Infinite God vs. finite human) and qualify what I mean with examples (although in this case, I did that in another thread).
