What is your idea of God?

You once asked us to tell you our idea of God. 

My idea of the Great First Cause is that He is a condition, may that be so? 

God must be unconditioned—it is only the limited that can be governed by condition. 

Perhaps if I had said state, it would have better expressed my idea? 

God is more than your idea of Him. 

A state expresses one thought of Him, but He embraces all things, and all human thought will forever fail to reach Him―or to explain Him.

My thought was that what nature is to physical man, God is to spiritual man. 

Are there not correspondences between things above and things below?

 

Yes, created things—I see what your thought is, and as far as it goes, it is a correct one. 

He is you, and He is the highest archangel—

You and He are part of this Infinite, which you are trying vainly to put into words. 

It would be impossible for the human mind in its present state to conceive of God as pure spirit, which He really is.
