About God
In speaking with my student Jacqueline today about God, the conversation got around to Where is God? This is a tricky subject because we cannot really locate God within linear time-dimensional space reality. God is not a matter to be found within a materialistically based locale. In like manner, Sprit cannot be defined through the laws of quantum physics.
However, many experience a mental process and feeling of knowing both God within oneself and oneself within God. This experience is a momentary one of union that comes and goes. It doesn’t endure according to linear time, but rather as a depth of the instant, better defined as “eternity.” When it leaves, one faces the dual world based in opposites, but is a trace of that instant left circulating through one’s being. The knowing of the possibility of this union serves as a continual motivation to know it again. And to share this possibility with others became a singular “career choice” for me.
Knowing God within is not meant to give God a location, which is an impiety, for That Without End can have no time-space location. Rather, born in His image and likeness, there is a trace “energy” imbued in our being. By grace, a divine light ignites this energy trace and it burns eternally. Simultaneously, we are embraced by the Intangible Reality.
