It permeates all things. Living things generate it. It flows through you and controls you, but you can control it with your mind and your feelings. It is a power within. Eastern mysticism also speaks of an all-pervading Force.

Everything is god. Everything is a part of god. Christians should not confuse this Force with the Holy Spirit. That god is impersonal and not self aware. Because human beings are a part of that god, they can influence that god.
