God and Infinity
1. What is God?
"God is the Supreme Intelligence-First Cause of all things."
2. What is to be understood by infinity?
"That which has neither beginning nor end; the unknown: all that is unknown is infinite.''
3. Can it be said that God is infinity?
"An incomplete definition. Poverty of human speech incompetent to define what transcends
human intelligence."
God is infinite in His perfections, but "infinity" is an abstraction. To say that God is infinity is to
substitute the attribute of a thing for the thing itself, and to define something unknown by reference to some other thing equally unknown.

The passage placed between inverted commas after each question is the reply made by the
communicating spirits, whose very words are given textually throughout the whole of this
book. The remarks and developments occasionally added by the author are printed in smaller type wherever they might otherwise be confounded with the replies of the spirits themselves.
Where the author's remarks occupy an entire chapter or chapters, the ordinary type is used, as, in that case, no such confusion could occur.
From The Spirit's Book - Chapter I - God
