God is the totality
of all there is,
within and beyond.
God is the fullness
of all that can be
and all that
might be possible.
God is not contained,
or somehow limited,
as might be said
of the material universe.
God is the manifestation
of the was, the now
and the possible
within which the universe
exists and forms
in all its infinity.
God is presence itself
but is also beyond presence:
existing in transcendence
and in all that is not material.
God is the flashing mind
whose energy is
what creates and sustains
the full and undivided
substance behind all.
for Baruch Spinoza
