God - we find Him by seeking Him within ourselves

05/07/2004

Anyone who thinks he can find God outside himself is condemned to a fruitless search. We must therefore stop thinking of God objectively, as a Being exterior to ourselves. We must stop imagining that He is somewhere high in the sky while we are down here, separated from Him by vast distances. Since God created us, He exists within us, just as a father and mother exist within their children. Since we carry our earthly father and mother within us, there is all the more reason that we carry our heavenly Father and Mother within us. As long as human beings do not understand God in this way, sooner or later they come to doubt His existence.
