God is nowhere

 

"Thus the sky is the place of all corporeal things, and it has no corporeal place, but rather, the least of the angels is its place, its ordering, and its position, and so on, up and up: each angel who is more noble is the place and position and measure of the other, and the highest angel is place, position, and measure of all the other angels who are beneath him, and he himself has no place or measure. But God has his measure and is his place, and He is pure spirit. But God is not a spirit according to the words of St. Gregory, who declares that all the words we speak
about God are just a stammering about God. Therefore he says, " He came to a place. " The place is God, Who gives position and order to all things. I have said before that all creatures are full of the least of God, and grow and flourish therein, and His greatest is nowhere. As long as the soul is anywhere, she is not in the greatest of God, which is nowhere.
