God is everything all together. Otherwise, it wouldn't be an omnipotent kind of thing - there'd be something that God wasn't. But God is everything all together. This is very difficult to think of, but it is important so you don't start to think that God is a guy (not a girl, but a guy - identified by the reproductive organs...of God.).

So you've got your home and that's in a place in a place on the earth in the solar system and as far out as that goes. Maybe it goes on infinitely. However far out it goes, that's all part of God. But don't forget things you can't see, as well as things that we just don't know about. There could be 25 other dimensions populated solely by kleptomaniac octopi. Who knows - but whatever there is that we know about and everything that we don't know about, too - whatever there is. That stuff is all included in there too. There is nothing left out. If you visualize it as a shape floating in blackness, that is incorrect - the space would also be included in God. You cannot visual it as a shape because of the next part.

Matter is neither created nor destroyed. Maybe some weird stuff is going on at the edge of the universe or in the octopus dimensions, but here, that's how it works. That means that when you eat some food, your body is taking the actual physical matter that makes up the food, breaking it up into workable pieces, and replacing and building parts of your body with it. Food doesn't just "make you grow" - the food is the actual new mass that your body is made of. Understanding that - and considering that every cell in the human body gets replaced every 7 years - every 7 years, your body has collected all these pieces of the world around you (food) and built a replacement body with them.

What this means is exciting on two levels. First, you are made of the earth. There is no difference between you and it, despite what our constant nagging thoughts assume. Secondly, as part of the earth, you are also part of "everything all together," which, of course, is God.  And that's the way that you are everything and everything is God without too much religious speak.
