Tell the Truth

SH 13:20

If we pray to God as a corporeal person, this will prevent us from relinquishing the human doubts and fears which attend such a belief, and so we cannot grasp the wonders wrought by infinite, incorporeal Love, to whom all things are possible. Because of human ignorance of the divine Principle, Love, the Father of all is represented as a corporeal creator; hence men recognize themselves as merely physical, and are ignorant of man as God’s image or reflection and of man’s eternal incorporeal existence. The world of error is ignorant of the world of Truth, — blind to the reality of man’s existence, — for the world of sensation is not cognizant of life in Soul, not in body.

God is not a divine person creating other persons. If you see God as a person, you inevitably miss seeing the wonders of God as Principle. The God of infinite, incorporeal Love is not in the business of creating forms (sorry, Ernest Holmes!)—He is not creating physical beings. Man is God’s image and reflection and man’s existence is not a life lived in a body, but the life of Soul, eternal and incorporeal.
