Infinite Being’s Love from Different Viewpoints

"You’ve said the infinite cannot know the finite directly, and God doesn’t know us. Yet when a young man spoke about his dark night of the soul, you called what happened an intervention. You’ve also said if we align our behaviours with our true nature, we’ll be supported by the universe. What’s the mechanism for intervention if the infinite knows nothing of us? Rupert says: ‘You’re muddling up levels (of explanation). In the infinite’s own experience of itself, there is just itself – no manifestation. So, the question about mechanism doesn’t come in. But from the finite’s point of view, there is a relationship with the infinite. The infinite leaves a trace of itself in our world of time and space in many ways – peace, joy, love, beauty, astonishment, synchronistic events, even a voice in your head. From the point of view of the finite, we can say God does know us, and more than that, God loves us. The relationship between finite and infinite is one of love from God to us, and one of devotion from us to God. It’s not conflicting – it’s different points of view.’"
