Weekly Passage - for week of 11/9/03



"If God were in a tree, a tree would not die; if God were in the ocean, there would not be a storm on it. How long ago was it known that God is not in the whirlwind, that God is not in the storm, that God is not in any phenomena of nature! These represent the creation of the Lord God or mind as set forth in the second chapter of Genesis. It is only when we see the sun, moon, stars, rivers, vegetables, and all nature as symbols, or as the human concept of the real, that we begin to perceive that behind this creation there is My kingdom, a temple not made with hands. 'God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.'"
