In my view God is simply a consciousness (one of many) that has the ability to bend nothingness to its will. Nothing more, nothing less. Without it there won't be this form of existence, this Universe that we inhabit, but it isn't the only thing that can bring existence "to life" either. I believe there are many Gods in existence and each of them can bring forth a Universe(s) according to their intent which other consciousness can inhabit. And than these consciousnesses can bring forth Universes on their own when ready and mature enough and so on ad infinitum. Therefore God IS a source of life, but it is not the only one in existence. The true source of all existence is the nothingness but since it doesn't exist there is no source at all.

Except that postulating God doesn't actually explain anything. As explanations go, it's the equivalent of "a big boy did it and ran away". Maybe "First Cause" is what you meant.

This is my understanding of the Deist view: God created the world and than just left, never to return.

My thinking in this area falls into two divisions: One is elucidated in The Kybalion (which many people love to hate) with it's pseudo (or maybe "semi" is fairer) Hermeticism that postulates the All (or if you prefer, the One) and aligns with my experience of the Hermetic Qabalah; the other agrees with the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza that assumes an immanent (or indwelling) universal consciousness that permeates all things (unfortunately he couldn't shake the anthropomorphic paradigm). It is viewed as the root of modern pantheism and animism (not that I subscribe to either, or to any established religion). Other than being a "Spinozan sympathizer," I would say I'm a member of the almost 40% of the US population that considers itself "spiritual but non-religious." When I think real hard about it, I suspect that the concept of God (or for that matter "life as we know it") may just be a phantasm of human consciousness. As self-aware beings we abhor the idea of being alone in the Universe so we concoct the allegory of a sympathetic higher order of consciousness that will guide our steps.
