AR 961 [4]
"God is absolute," they said,
"because He is love itself, wisdom itself,
good itself, truth itself, and life itself.
If these were not absolute in God,
they would have no reality in heaven
or in the world,
as they would have no relation to anything absolute.
Every quality is accorded its quality from the fact
that there is something absolute
from which it springs
and to which it has relation so as to be what it is.
"This absolute entity,
which is the Divine being,
does not exist in space,
but is present with people and in people
who live in space,
in accordance with their reception,
since love and wisdom,
and goodness and truth,
which are absolute in God,
indeed which are God Himself,
cannot have location predicated of them,
or a progression from place to place,
but are independent of space,
and so omnipresent.
Therefore the Lord says that He is
in the midst of His disciples,
and that He is in them and they in Him."
