God

I Am both the seen and the unseen All that is and whatever has been As both immanent and transcendent Am of attributes, independent I Am caress of love’s embrace warm Holy Spirit enlivening form Closer than breath, dearer than heartbeat Am felt within as magnetic heat As love, wisdom and power unbound Am everywhere yet cannot be found Save by pure hearts who seek Me alone Of souls whose narrow cravings have flown Made in My image, man is as Me Once love enabled, mankind will see Essence of presence, as living light Blissful and whole, throbbing with delight

Nice poem on omnipresence of God. We never see God, but we always ask his shelter.

Hmmm ~ ordinarily, we do not see Him but if identity recedes, then we can

“I am everywhere yet cannot be found” exactly, God, is everywhere , although cannot be seen. This is really a powerful personification

Thank you, IE. What is everywhere, in everything, affected by nothing, immediate and intimate and yet undetectable? Space. That’s food for thought, more so, since channelled theosophists like Blavatsky have so affirmed.
