Three essential paradigms are possible and perhaps interrelate continually

The first is the one born into, experiential, seems immutable, but must be contrived, that everything runs according to schedule.

The second, is that there is a being beyond, who rewards and punishes, hence zillions of Christians, Muslims, lehavdil Jews, who follow what they believe are his wishes (and other faiths, have other notions of who or whom or what is beyond and also act in accordance with what would be beneficial based on this system.)

The truth a. we have freedom of choice (to do as we see fit or please, though we may not be so pleased with the results, for no matter how you cut it, all actions have consequences) b. the truth is, God is humble (if he wasn’t, we wouldn’t have freedom of choice) c. God is not a being – he has no correlation to anything we know – the closest we can imagine about him, is like our imagination which is capable of contriving any idea d. the idea that God actually contrived, is as follows, when we use our freedom of choice (finally rejecting the aimlessness of materialism and foolish pleasure) realizing that God is humble and is infinite in his ability; hence, when we begin to seek truth, not only does it appear, but as God is truly infinite (remember the mind’s ability to always imagine endlessly new things) he gives us lessons (perhaps experiences, all forms of communications etc.) that continually educate us, hence refining us, hence creating everyone’s ultimate desire, of e-pluribus-Unum.
