To know god, know yourself. To know yourself, look all around you.
I think the point about connecting with god is to shift perspective into realizing that it is always there all round you. You do not need to create a connection, it's already there. It's about getting intimate with this connection and learn to interact in a respectful manner thus eventually building a bridge between the visible/invisible manifested/unmanifested creator/creation macrocosm/microcosm infinite/finite. I think the more you think about it, the more it becomes apparent. That's the ''relatively'' easy part. The hardest part is to make consistent effort into seeing oneness all around you and to eventually see all dualities and all paradoxes as one. Ra speaks of many exercises to achieve balance which would eventually lead you there such as counterbalance each thoughts with it's opposite charge.
To me there are apparent manifestations of the creator everywhere without even needing this intimate connection. Each moment is so complex and rich that the density of logic required to manifest each frame of present is a masterpiece of art in itself. To me such complexity definitely requires an infinitely powerful will to achieve.
I think what makes it hard for most people to perceive the creator is the notion that there is an outside creator, like it is some puppet master playing with us like we're just inert matter. But the creator isn't external to it's creation, it is inside, it is within, it is living and experiencing itself. The illusion of seperation is all about veiling this very simple yet very complex notion.
Another thing that the veil makes it very hard for us is to see is that every event in our lives is a strong symbolism. When you see the creator all around you, everything, every event, every person you meet becomes a personal symbolism. In fact so personal and so custom fit to your experience that you can see the archetypal pathways of the one mind creating it just for you. Isn't that inviting you to meet the creator face to face? To gaze into the mirror of your own reflection? What do you see?
