He speaks in fearful tones in the tornado—whispers love and modesty in the simple flower—makes divine harmony unite in the combination of (hu)man—shows Divine Wisdom in the Perfect Law of His Being—calls forth feelings of sublimity as you gaze at the heavens, interspersed with myriads of bright, shining stars, all controlled by an unseen power, which is God.
And what is this power? Or what is God?
His Power wields the Mighty Universe of Worlds, clustering around Him, as the Centre of Attraction, which obey the dictates of His Will with a submissiveness of perfect reliance—they move in their orbits with the harmony of perfect arrangement, obeying the dictates of His Voice—He beckons Nature to receive home her own.
In intelligence, He abounds with that richness, expansion of thought and etherealisation of substance that you cannot fathom, for it includes eternity, where all knowledge is perfected.
What is God?Where is God?God is everywhere. God is.What is He?God is.What do you mean?God is, God is.
In the words of the Christ,God is a Spirit.A Spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.Ye have neither seen His Shape—or heard His Voice.No one hath seen the Father at any time.The only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father,He hath seen him.Say unto the people, the I AM hath sent me unto you.Why enquirest thou after my name, seeing that it is hidden.
What is God?If I call God Father, I limit him so far that I imply He is not my brother—If I call him Lord, I imply that He is not my equal, my companion, my friend.All definitions then are limited, and to a certain extent, misleading—Yet we must avail ourselves of some terms.The truest is that given through Moses—I AM.
That is—I am All Being—All Being is myself—Yet even this seems to shut Him out of phenomena.Yes; there is One, and only One in the Universe—One in whom all being, all force, all phenomena are united—Besides this One there is no other—There is no life that is not God—There is no death that is not God—Nothing—No spirit—All is one—One—The very power of which we speak it is God—The Absolute—The Limitless—The Infinite.
