I believe God is the great unknowable "I" and each of us is an individual, discrete, unique "I" which came from God (so, yes, I believe we are God's children).
The "I" exists outside of consciousness but it can 'infuse' consciousness, the mind, the world with its presence. "I" can be present in those things without actually being those things.
If you go deep into prayer or meditation, if you "pause" mind and consciousness, "freeze frame" it, and just remain quietly, expectantly, humbly and reverently in the silence, you may experience "the Presence". It is beyond words to express.
That's interesting because I cannot accept that there is a God above, outside and/or beyond. I see everything within my awareness as creation of consciousness/awareness. Minds/bodies, yours/mine are not conscious/consciousness/aware. It's challenging to find words to describe it, but I sense it when I look to the outside world and see it's all inside
