*So what kind of God is this? Well, I guess it to be what is described in [2]** as the Spirit of God in Man, distinguished by our relationship with (and perception of) it from God the Spirit.*** I think this because it fits, but also because my perception of it is still that of an 'independent' Human Being, a Being of Free Will: perception at a 'distance'. I can be distracted (as I was), and even become irritable at the intermittently persistent and penetrating nature of the distraction (a three-year-old trying to cry).

But in the back of my mind now is the awareness of that Quality. Nor do I think it has been created in response to the speculation in [2]**** – because the experience is familiar, from somewhere a very long way back in my memory: I don't know exactly when. The Quality gives rise to a kind of quiet confidence: as you would expect, of the Comforter.#

*[See last 3 previous entries, [Redbook5:202][19880702:0914c]{God at the Centre}[2nd July 1988]ff]

**[Throughout [2] (subject to revision); but e.g. +C: '”...return as a Spirit of God to God the Spirit...”']

***God the Spirit is the same Spirit but dynamic? – moving? – certainly experienced dynamically <891010>
