I like this question. My belief is based on my experience and it isn't something I have to rely on my memory for proof or re-enforcement as Photon tries to infer. I can experience it now, while I'm typing, it's mostly a matter of choice and practise.
Another question, trying to define who or what god is, is just man's mind wanting to create him in our image and then you have religion. I don't like religion much.
There is something inside me greater than my mind. My mind is only another tool that needs to be harnassed. Read the Bhagavad Gita for a talk on this sometime inner conflict. Or how about the native elder who said ' inside me there are two wolves fighting.' the boy asks 'grandfather, who will win'. Grandfather answers, 'whoever I feed', or maybe it's 'whomever', English isn't his first language.
