Is there a vast gulf between us and God?
The Urantia Book says,
"At the heart of [the] eternal and central universe is the stationary Isle of Paradise, the geographic center of infinity and the dwelling place of the eternal God." [UB 1]
"As we move from within, from the divine center outward in any one direction, we do, eventually, come to the outer limits of the organized and inhabited creation; we come to the outer limits of the grand universe. And it is near this outer border, in a far-off corner of such a magnificent creation, that your local universe has its eventful existence." [UB 129]
"...notwithstanding all that physically and spiritually separates you from the Paradise personal presence of God, stop and ponder the solemn fact that God lives within you; he has in his own way already bridged the gulf. He has sent of himself, his spirit, to live in you and to toil with you as you pursue your eternal universe career." [UB 39]
Below is a fraction of the vast universe we will be traversing in our quest to find God:
"When men search for God, they are searching for everything.
When they find God, they have found everything."
