You can't connect with God.

People often claim they feel “connected to God” during prayer, meditation, or awe-inspiring experiences. But that’s just your nervous system reacting to silence, repetition, or beauty, all known psychological triggers. Interpreting that as divine communication or presence is conflating a brain state with a metaphysical fact.

Feeling connected to God is more about mood, psychological need, or the environment (e.g., music, nature, ritual) than anything metaphysically real.

We can say this with some certainty because people from contradictory religions or belief systems report feeling equally "connected". If everyone feels connected to contradictory gods, it suggests they’re actually connecting to their own emotions.

And worse feeling “connected” often becomes a substitute for actually wrestling with difficult moral questions, studying sacred texts, or acting with integrity. It becomes a shortcut: "I don’t need to change my behavior or refine my beliefs. I feel connected."

Anyway the bottom line philosophical point is: If God is beyond comprehension, any feeling of "connection" is a reflection of your own internal state, not evidence of an actual relationship.
