The Hermetic Writings resemble some of the past readings that we have done. I like this style of thought, where God is here, God is there, God is everywhere. God made all things so that through all things we can see him. Through all emotions, of love, hate, jealousy, joy, sorrow, gladness, through all objects, pencil, shirt, hairspray, plate, we see God. I think that everyone has the ability to view God-what is different is the perception in which they choose to view Him. Whether it is a Him at all. We each choose to see God in our own way, whether it be a nonGod, whether it be an almighty God, or even if it is our very own soul that we bow down to...something is acknowledged. This passage says that we should realize that othing is impossible, and recognize that we are immortaland can embrae all things in your mind. We are told that we can perceive God everywhere, in all times and places, all substances and qualities and magnitudes.
So if this is to be held true, why do people spend (or waste) their entire lives searching for God, when in reality, He is everywhere and everything?

I like the way you analyzed this exerpt. Especially when you said "I think that everyone has the ability to view God-what is different is the perception in which they choose to view Him." I totally agree with that. We are all so different, our perceptions have to be different as well.
