This conception of God is proved to be untrue by "reductio ad absurdum," for if God be over your head he must be under the feet of the people on the opposite side of the globe.

I assume that you have outgrown this childish conception of God, formed when the human race was in its childhood, and knew so little of science as to suppose this earth to be a flat surface, instead of a sphere. Then, too, the natural tendency of the mind is to look up to that which it reveres, hence the conception of a God above the clouds.

But while you have rid yourself of this conception in a measure, the sense of separateness from God still lingers with you, as a last vestige of a mistaken race belief, somewhat as the vermiform appendix lingers in the body, though now outgrown as to use, and often aggressive and harmful. To get rid of this vestige of false belief you must picture God as Omnipresent, Formless, Spiritual Substance, and see this Substance as TAKING ON FORM and pushing outward from a hidden centre into the outer world, yourself included. Then think of this FLOWING SPIRIT as feeding you with LIFE, LOVE, ENERGY, and INTELLIGENCE continually, your mind and body receiving this living current.

The stream of Life flows through you to a degree without your conscious cooperation, else you could not live one instant, because your life supply would be cut off. By cooperating consciously you increase the flow of Spirit and receive more abundant Life.
