We identify ourselves with past and future experiences in our lines of development when we should be concentrating on the question of what God can do for the experience of the moment, for us right now . The answer is that all that God can do and it is plenty is to give initial aim, the perfect plan for the experience to deal with the situation in which it arises and to move onward to something at least a little better than the situation in which it arose. A thing-like responsive universal Mind or Law may seem natural, even as God in the form of an old man sitting on a cloud may seem natural. One is as incorrect as the other. A thingified Law is inconsistent with the known nature of the physical world .
Physicists now know that the physical world is thoroughly processive at bottom.
In order to maintain belief in a substantive universal Mind, there would have to be a great dichotomy between the natures of God and the world, a dichotomy that would prevent an overall unity. There would be a house of totality divided against itself. God is supremely good . God wants the very best for every experience, not just for its successors. An experience chooses and enjoys for only a fraction of a second.
