How do I know that God exists?

For me this question has no perspective; I know that God exists!

Yet, I realise that for others, those who have not been granted access to the truth, the existence of God can be a major concern and a question which they cannot answer. In their uncertainty they choose to follow one understanding; Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, or even Atheism, etc.

This is all acceptable; because they do not know and can therefore never be certain of what they have chosen; because they cannot prove it to be true. It's true that most believers in God, regardless of the religion they choose, believe in the doctrine they follow, and the chosen religion becomes their way of life. This religion becomes the influence in their life, and hopefully, will lead them to a greater understanding of all mankind.

The truth concerning God had always been an important question for me; did he exist, or did he not exist?

The answer to this question became the sole objective in my life and I studied every science and religion on earth to answer it. To this end I spent over thirty years looking for the answer, identifying the falsity of all religions and recognising the influences which life, tradition and cultural ideas had in fashioning me.

The research I had done was written down and from about the time I was 48 years old I began to associate it into an essay. The result was entitled 'From where we came,' and comprises of over 350 pages.

My overall conclusion was basically that everything in life is vanity; religion; science; and the historical happenings. I found that somewhere in the equation man had something to gain. With this formulation firmly established in my mind I realised that God was not properly identified nor acknowledged, and that everything I knew about religion, science or history had no relationship to the identification of God.

I realised that what I had uncovered could disorientate the lives of others, disrupting them, confusing them, misleading them; whatever they believed.

I realised the amount of power I held over all other people, because I had found and understood the truth; yet I was at a loss. At a loss because I could not bring myself to shatter the dreams of so many people; people in every country on earth; in every religion, of every colour and understanding.

What right did I have?

Perhaps I have no right? But if someone was in danger, in danger of loosing their life, would it be wrong of me to try and save them?

I know that
