If God is infinite, it must be self-evident that God cannot be contained within the mind, yet we go on believing that some concept of God in our mind is the infinite God. If the Spirit of God were as close to us as to be within our mind, we actually would be children of God, and as such would be set apart from this earth. But, instead of having the Spirit of God, what we really have is only a concept of God, a concept which may envision God as a man with a long white beard sitting up on a cloud, as a man hanging on a cross, or as a hundred other different concepts. And what do we do? We pray to these images in our own thought and expect to receive answers from them. Is that sensible? Is it reasonable?

It’s hard to believe that people do pray to such images even when they protest that that don’t see them literally: they’re praying to a SIGN OF SEPARATION at best! Spirit, God within everyone doesn’t need an image, or imagined form. RJS
