Day 146: How do we know God?

284:4-286:8

How do we know God? I don't mean how can we prove God's existence to someone else -- but how do we, or I, how do I know God is there? In today's reading, Mary Baker Eddy asks that question and then answers how we do not know God.

This is what I understood from the reading:

  • We do not know God through the physical senses.
  • We don't know God through blind belief (covered elsewhere but added to this list as relevant). 
  • We don't tell/communicate with God/Mind via material body. 
  • We don't wait till we are dead to know God. We know him now. 

We know God through a higher sense, from divine Principle, God. We know God through demonstration.
