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.

God is that which can't be defined. Infinite consciousness / awareness perhaps ?

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

I feel sorry for those who do; they believe in the creation and plan for the universe; there's none, all is chaos.

I like that - the order in chaos is too complex for our minds to come to terms withWell, chaos is just order we cannot recognize

I call it "chaos with small random pockets of order". The idea that the entire universe should comply with the rules accidentally prevailing in those small isolated pockets is just wishful thinking.
I will say again what I said before hoping someone will notice the nuggets of truth. All existence comes from non-existence. It's the ultimate reason for any existence. Out of it forms of existence capable of creating (or rather bending non-existence to their "will") arise. Than these forms of existence spawn each other throughout all possible ways existence (of their "higher" nature) can exists, or, as I say it-the different Gods exhaust all the plans which could exist. Every form of existence capable of building a mirror image of existence inside their mind is capable of becoming a Creator in itself. That ability to build mirrors of existence inside oneself is what we call consciousness. Therefore, any consciousness is a potential Creator of (an) Universe(s). There are infinity of Universes as there are Creators for them. Our own one is nothing but a speck of dust in an infinite desert. As you all are, so, don't overpride yourself for having the potential to become a God.
That's reality for beginners. Of course, there are many more levels to that than the ones I have already mentioned and the process of non-existence becoming the intelligent (and intelligable) consciousness we come to know as God is far more complex than given credit for above but the Big Picture is as I have drawn it out. So, be patient, and, know thyself so you may come to know God in the process, too. That is the best advice I can give you.
