Abstract

God is the beginning. He is the source and essence of all action. He spoke worlds into existence. His divine design and workmanship include all created things. The physical universe in its totality represents the creative conceptions of the Deity. The way the world acts is the way that God thinks. God is infinite force. He penetrates all substances, yet is mixed with none. He is everywhere present with the same concentration of almighty energy. Here he suspends a star; there he stains a stone; here he adds fuel to a burning sun; there he gives food to the tiniest insect; here he pencils the flower of the field; there he rainbows the darkest wing of the storm; and throughout the innumerable varieties of Nature there is no beauty of shape or shade, but that he has carved or colored it. Hence it is that the Chart of Soul Life, to which the reader is particularly referred, commences with God. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
