Example text
God is not only an external carpenter who can create the universe, our God has persuasive, provocative power and is constantly co-creating the universe. The universe is materially built from about 90 elements, all out of one creative source. When we speak of one source for all things, one energy out of which all else has come, we are describing soul. We are also concurring with the story of creation, the story of Genesis, this one soul energy from which all life springs. All of what we are, our physical energy toward movement, feeling, beings, perception have their origins in this singular energy event.
