DLW 7
The Divine, or God, does not exist in space,
even though He is omnipresent,
and is with every person in the world,
with every angel in heaven,
and with every spirit beneath heaven.
This cannot be comprehended
if a merely natural idea is formed of it,
but it can be if a spiritual idea is formed.
. . . A spiritual idea
derives none of its character from space,
but draws all of its character from state.
State is predicated of love, life, wisdom, affections,
their resulting joys-of good and truth in general.
A truly spiritual idea of these
has no characteristic in common with space.
It is a higher idea,
and it regards ideas of space as beneath it
in the way that heaven regards the earth.
DLW - Divine Love & Wisdom
