Quite correct. A pastor once asked us to describe how we pictured God. Based on my own experience, I described a fountain of energy spewing from a Source we would never see, but knew it was there. The energy contained a frequency that could be absorbed by those souls which had earned proximity. At one and the same time, the energy revved up a soul's energy and also produced the most peaceful and secure feeling possible. Even without a brain, the Mind was capable of sight and thought. The class looked at me as if I'd lost my mind! Fortunately, one man returned all to normalcy by describing God as a venerable old man with a beard, for all the world like a Greek god or something by Michelangelo. Apparently, that class had never noticed the New Testament's description of God and souls as a light that shines. Oh, well!
