It all depends on whether you’re referring to “God” or Godhead, I suppose. Godhead is the ultimate ground of being which, if it is a substance at all, is comprised of pure undifferentiated awareness.

Does this “feel” anything? How can we know. God, however, is the “supreme personality of Godhead” as the Hindu Upanishads put it. Since that is shown to manifest in the human realm, we should expect it to have very similar consciousness to ourselves.

Andrew Cohen’s emailed quote expounds this week on this question :

How Does God Feel?
I’ve always wanted to know, how does God feel? What I’ve discovered is that how God feels is always a paradox: On one hand, from the perspective of the unmanifest, unborn, empty ground of all being that has never entered into the stream of time, everything is always already perfect. Nothing has ever happened, and so God rests eternally, peacefully and blissfully. But for the part of God that has entered into manifestation, that decided to create the universe, the experience is one of ecstatic urgency, a feeling of ecstasy and the simultaneous sense that I must… And the intensity behind this ecstatic urgency is emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, philosophically, and physically overwhelming. And what begins to emerge in the human heart and soul, as we awaken to the authentic self or spiritual impulse, is the dawning recognition of the fact that each one of us, at our highest level, is that manifest dimension of God, the same energy and intelligence that originally inspired and initiated the entire creative process.
