And within all of nature. This is not pantheism for a Christian or a
Quaker christian like Dixon.
God, Dixon says, is not just in everyone (that's the teaching of Fox
that Dixon says he follows) , but also in all Creation.
This, indeed, is what your grandmother, Jbframe can find in the first
book of her bible and in Romans, Psalms, and Job 38 ... where it is out
of
GodÂ’s very "womb" that the Creation flows in continuous process.
The boy goes up to the heavens and if he were a christian he could also
have heaven on the ground, or below, because Heaven, as Christ said in
Luke 17,
is among us and within us.
This heaven, for some christians, is the the Body of Christ. Call it the
Buddha nature, Allah, Brahma, Jah, Tao and the Great Cosmic Mother if
you like.
