The problem of the existence of God can be resolved only by …

The problem of the existence of God can be resolved only by analogy. You have a father who is with you, but he sometimes goes away on trips, and one day he will even go away for good. Does this mean that he no longer exists? No. Even if he is no longer physically present, he is always there, but within you. Because he is your father, he has left indelible imprints within you in the shape of physical or psychic traits, talents, and qualities or defects. Well, the same can be said of God: we carry Him within us in a spiritual form. Because He created us, He has impregnated us with His quintessence. He has left fluidic traces within us and an entire network of filaments which connect us to Him, and thanks to which we can find Him again. For those who allow their inner sight to become dim and their spiritual faculties dull, who end by saying: 'God does not exist, for if He existed, etc...', there is no response...except that God has given human beings the possibility both to bring Him to life within themselves or to kill Him.
