Nothing more unlike the real character of the Deity can be imagined than the one

that has been generally received of His Nature. It is time now that something more

real and truer should be known of this great power that formed and sustained all

things and who is still framing new worlds and universes of worlds.

In mid- August 2010, European Southern Observatory (ESO) Photo Ambassador, Yuri Beletsky, snapped this photo at ESO’s

Paranal Observatory in Chile. A group of astronomers were observing the centre of the Milky Way using the laser guide star

facility at Yepun, one of the four Unit Telescopes of the Very Large Telescope (VLT)

This Great unknown and unseen Being, so constantly at work, yet never tiring

is in our midst. He pervades all space. He is everywhere and yet He is nowhere.

He is in the highest heavens and He is in the lowest hell. He is all wisdom, love and

knowledge, yet so lowly; not too great to regard and cherish every tiny plant and

flower and yet so great that worlds and universes are evoked from His thought!

God everywhere, yet nowhere. Seeming contradiction and yet perfectly true. He is a

mighty magician, an incomprehensible being, so wise, so great, so good, so full of

love for all things, only to be found in His works, yet never absent from them. In the

manifold gifts He bestows upon us, He is there. On the air we breathe, in the food we

eat, God is manifested.

Though myriads and myriads (and yet more myriads multiplied until mind fails

to follow out the idea) of worlds are dependent on Him, yet He sustains

and pervades them with his spirit. Here, there and everywhere, God is. And let Him

create to all eternity still His spirit will extend to these new worlds and His watchful

and loving care will be over them. From the fullness of His own love, He endows

and blesses His creatures. He has no higher happiness than this. His wisdom

creates spheres and peoples them with organic life and gradually develops in each

one higher and higher forms. When a climax is reached, creation stops

but progression goes on and the love-principle comes into more immediate action.

This system of progression, designed by the All-wise at the beginning, is the way

He takes to spread the blessings of His love on the countless myriads He creates.

None will be finally miserable. God could not, would not, have it so. All, however

erring, ultimately emerge from their dark prison houses and realise the beauty

and holiness of the God-principle hidden but not dead within them.

This great power that pervades everything is the Essence or God-principle of life

or motion. This subtle Essence is the light of life, a portion of Deity and the

boundless sphere of His power means that He has always been a Creator.

Boundless space, like eternity, has no end, so that creations, like eternity, may go on

forever.

The great centre, the fountain from where this Divine Essence flows is God. Not a

personal being but yet containing and originating in Himself all the qualities, the

passions, the feeling and all the wisdom and love that go to design and form somany worlds and fill them with such beautiful creations, both animate and inanimate.

We know there are unnumbered universes and stars to our confined vision

and we know that the fixed stars we look upon from our little earth are, in reality,

centres of other solar systems. All had their origin in the same way from the same

great fount of light—God. And, far more than we can picture, are pursuing their equal

course in regions too remote for us to obtain the slightest glimpse of. It is this

magnetism of Deity, so unseen and unfelt, that brought about the changes that

developed worlds out of darkness. This light, shining in darkness, brought beautiful

creations gradually into existence.

If we can realise to our satisfaction what constitutes a flower's fragrance or the life-

principle we destroy when we crush an insect, then we may, with equal satisfaction,

find out what constitutes Deity. The same life-principle that pervades the insect and

the flower brought worlds into existence. The God who could make the one could

 just as easily make the other. Nothing is impossible with God. The thought of Deity is

the only matter used in the creation of the multitudinous spheres that crowd in

Space. He is all-pervading, all-penetrating and yet all-unknown to each one of us.But though we do not know Him, we know His works and we know to a certain extent

how they originated. Has He not said God's thoughts are not as man's thoughts;

neither His ways as our ways? God's thoughts are not as our thoughts.

God, the great first cause of all, sent forth His Light or Essence and bid it work,

animating the chaotic masses of darkness. As this penetrated them, they condensed

and hardened. Still further did the light go on in its work and, after hardening, it

penetrated what it had condensed, broke it up and made other kinds of formations.

This light, this essence, working in and through its great Creator, continued on,

steadily effecting the wondrous changes that led to the present results.

The thought that originated so many and such various beauties retained its central

situation, as the soul does in our bodies, and the light evolved from thought did the

work. Is God thought? He is. But what is thought? Thought is inspiration.

It is the essence or light of God in our souls. In Him, it is much more, much grander,

nobler and diviner. We partake, in a very, very slight degree, of the nature of God'sthoughts in our own thoughts, for through them, He originates whatever we have of

new and novel conceptions on our plane.

God is the impersonation of all wisdom, love and knowledge—so our teachers say—

but He may rather be considered as the source or fount from where these things

flow, for He is certainly not a personal Deity. He can give from his fount all that

is needful to all parts of his many universes and still there will be no lack of supply.His light pervades all things. It can penetrate into the darkest and deepest

abysses of creation, as well as into the lowest and most degraded human mind.

Christianity has always taught that God is a being to be referred to in troubles and

difficulties and that help can be obtained from Him to sustain and support in such

cases. This was good as far as it went. But how far short of the real and tangible

benefits we might obtain from Him if we understood more clearly the true natureand power of the great unknown and misunderstood principle (or Deity, if you will)

that rules our planet in connection with all other worlds or spheres.

We are miniature microcosms of the Deity. We are possessed of the same powers,

the same feelings, the same elements for thought, the same undying life-

principle, the same capabilities of action and when we have developed higher and

higher in the scale of progression, we likewise may create and multiply creationsfrom his thought-plane.

Spirit will be etherealised into still more ethereal spirit and still again refine; over and

over, the purification will be renewed until the God spirit is attained and when this

takes place, we may be said to merge into Deity and become an integral part of the

Divine and mystical Essence and united to it, share and assist, devise and execute

works, as wondrous, as noble, as grand, as beneficent as those we now, from our

low and untaught sphere, admire with awe and veneration.

We cannot see God, for He is not a being to be seen but a principle pervading all

space. At the same time, developed humanity will attain to that perfection of holiness

and love when entirely pervaded by this God-principle and merged, as it were, in

Deity. Nothing is impossible to us. The God who formed us as we are foresaw

His creation would rise to this height and become like Him. And we will continue to

accelerate the speed of our progress the higher we advance because more light can

reach us from the great fountain of all progress, the Almighty Framer and Governor

of the universe.

We are designed for higher life and nobler purposes; we have more work to do,

more good to perform, more to receive; we are the crowning creation of God— 

the ultimatum—the finishing stroke to our great work on this earth of ours, as we are

on every other.

Humanity is the perfection of all—the animal, the vegetable and the mineral

combined and superior to the whole in possessing the soul or God-principle in usthat is to develop up to the God who gave it.

God's mind is unlike ours; His is the mind of all. It is impossible for us to understand

God as He really is. As we progress higher and higher in His light and become more

and more imbued with it, He will still be an unknown God to us, for He is everywhere,

yet nowhere.

With respect to our development from the monkey tribe—we are a combination of all

these different instincts, some in one brute, some in another but all collected

together. We are not formed out of the earth, as the old record says. We did not start

into existence a perfect being but we are the offspring of some other being—we are,

in fact, an offshoot of the monkey tribe. Haven't all animals progressed

in the ascending ratio from the first simple mollusca and infusoria? Hasn't vegetation

progressed with them to supply their wants, from the mosses and ferns to our

present fauna and flora? If God so ordained and arranged in his wisdom, for

animals and vegetables, why shouldn't He finish His work with humanity,his masterpiece? Is it any degradation to humanity that it has developed up to its

present high standard from such a low one? By our beautiful formation, so like and

yet so unlike the animals, we are fitted, admirably fitted, for what we were designed.

Every organ was brought to its highest perfection in us and, in addition, to the

instincts of the animal, reason and a soul were added. Why should this be

impossible to a power who had already done so much? It was the work of ages upon

ages to develop the other forms of life so that we might spring from them, perfectedin body to receive his mental gifts.

 After we had received our endowments, it took ages yet to develop the embryos

in us and show us our own superiority over the animal kingdom. Gradually, the light

entered into our souls. Like a newborn babe, we were unconscious of the gifts

we possessed and ignorant, as a child would now be of their value unless taught by

its parents and tutors—for, we must know that every individual child receives this

God-spirit now, just as much as the first developed ape or man did. Reason is quite

another thing. That, we have cultivated for ourselves. Instinct first supplied its place

but as the soul shone forth in us, higher thoughts and aspirations arose and

we cultivated the intellect into its present state of progress.

To think on God in his works, the multitude and infinity of which should fill our minds

with awe and wondering admiration, exalts and benefits our souls. To dwell on His

greatness brings us more nearly into communion with Him and fills us with a portion

of His own spirit. We are benefitted by the smallest approach we can make to this

mind of God and there is no better method for us to pursue in our endeavours to

progress than studying Him in His works. We may say we cannot understand much

that we see, much that we hear in relation to them. True, we can't. But none are soignorant that they cannot see beauty in a flower, a leaf, a human eye or a

human hand and we can do more, for we can all see, not only the beauty but their

appropriateness, their fitness, their adaptedness for their various uses.

Can anything be more wonderfully and judiciously contrived than the eye? So

delicately organised to receive impressions from surrounding objects; at the same

time, so carefully protected from injury by its judicious position in the head and its

covering lid and eyelashes? Didn't the thought that originated it show the highest

wisdom? And can't we find profit and pleasure combined in thinking on these things?

Or are we so accustomed to the offices and appearance of this organ that we have

ceased to regard it? If so, let us refresh our ideas on this point by visiting some

institution for the blind and we'll then see more plainly the blessing we enjoy, without

appreciating its possession.

Then our hand—have we ever thought of its varied uses, its beautiful adaptedness to

the numerous offices it is required to perform? Or have we allowed that also to passby unheeded, playing out its part in regular and methodic manner, as we might

require its services—our willing docile slave to do our bidding, while we, entirely

unconscious of the wondrous beauty of the organism that thus works for us, accept

its services and never pause for a moment to dwell on the wisdom and love that

designed it or to consider what that Being must be who so multiplies His benefits to

all that we take them as a right and entirely overlook and neglect the Giver?

Some of us may be attracted by the wonders of the heavens and look there for

evidence of God's power and thoughtful love and we may fancy it is more

mightily displayed there—or again, others may examine the beauties of the deep and

see its workings there. Any and everywhere, we'll find them and all display, in an

equal degree, the power of thought, the wisdom and beneficence of the Being who

planned them. In the smallest blade of grass, in the tiniest flower, apparently souseless but yet which has its office, the same careful thought is traced and in the

same perfection.

See and feel the presence of the Great Spirit in every effort of nature, not only in the

rushing wind or the storm but in all the beautiful outpourings of His goodness; in the

flowers, the leaves, the gently flowing stream and the shady forest. In all and

every bountiful gift recognise the presence of the great Power who created them for

our pleasure. Take the gifts as they are offered to you, use them as far as your

needs may require and leave the rest free to all God's other creatures.

God with us,

for this great mind of the universe

pervades all nature and all space.

His thought and his care are Great;

none too high,

none too lowly to be its recipients.

Everything good and great comes from Him.

 Adapted from Further Communications from the World Of Spirits on Subjects Highly Important to the Human Family by Joshua,Solomon and Others, given through a Lady, Chapter Three, On God, In His Works by Solomon, A. J. Brady, New York, 1861
