Brock, Raja Yoga conceptualized an entity with precise characteristic and called it God.

Such a conceptualization is prone to focusing. Such a focusing is called meditation, in the science of Raja Yoga.

As to the concept of God as a projection of the ego, that's an hypothesis which is not founded on correct philosophical reasoning, since by definition God is not a projection of our ego, rather our ego is the individualized soul which is a projection of God.

The above are the definitions of the metaphysical conceptual framework. You cannot define God as you wish, unless you create your own metaphysical framework, give it rules and definitions, propose it.

These are the rules of discussions on metaphysics, otherwise chaos would ensue.

Anyway, I got your drift, what is called God according to you is a delusional aspect created by our mind. That would be an atheistic concept, one which Dawkins wrote books about, unless you allow some deistic+agnostic approach where there is a supernatural intelligence which we cannot identify with other definitions of God nor ever hope to know, but then you should define it somehow.
