Many of us ask ourselves this question at different times right throughout our entire lives.

Is God within us, or without us?

Is God actually existing separately outside of us somewhere else? Are we really completely separated from God in any way?

The answer might be surprising to you, because it is neither.

God fundamentally if he exists is everything combined into a oneness of himself.

Nothing can ever exist outside of this oneness, but can anything else, and that could be called separate, really ever exist within this same oneness?

This is the real question that we need to explore further here.

Does God exist inside of me, or outside of me?

If God is inside of me, what would that leave me to be?

If God is outside of me, how could I ever then contact God at all?

Love exists in the oneness of its expression throughout all of creation. This love remains oneness, but it can express itself individually in infinite ways. It is the same with God. God lives in you, because you are a part of God. This means that you are not outside of God, and he is not outside of you.

Nothing is outside of you, and nothing is outside of God.

All is only ever the oneness of God.

Where then does our idea of separation come from? Why do we think that there is an inner and an outer?

It arises simply from our thinking. Thoughts arise from the oneness for us to experience as our own, but when we try to own them as our own, we then cut ourselves off from recognising the love of God that is in each thought, and within each experience.

Love lives not separately, but it is mistakenly separated out by creation as not being totally within itself. The truth is that creation is not being created, but that God is allowing itself to think that it is so, at least only in the beginning stages of the growth of consciousness in each created part of himself.

Nothing has been created. Everything remains oneness. God is all. Everything takes place within God, as God.

This means that the soul remains a part of God. It is not separately created. It is the coverings of our soul that are created from nothing that then become the illusionary accepted separateness. These coverings include the physicalness of its outer body, its emotions and its thoughts. It is these that are then used to see from an outer perspective, but really they just give an inner viewing from soul now ''outwardly'' for it to be able to see more of the overall oneness that is God.

All life is about God.

God creates inside himself so that
