What is the life of God?

Our own souls should be an open book that we can read with pleasure. 

There we should find the records of duties fulfilled, desires and passions conquered, tempers subdued, aspirations after good and holy things constantly going forth. Charity, love and patient forbearance for the wants and shortcomings of others always active, and a constant indwelling peace and joy that the world and the things of the world can neither affect nor take from us. 

If we were all in this blessed state―if we all carried out our self-knowledge into this self-acting, how much happier and wiser we would become. 

The temple of God would be in our own souls. Everyone who can by his life and actions draw down this holy influence has the spirit of God in him and his body is its temple.

―Joshua, son of Nun in Spirit
