With & Without are confused with within & without and inside and out.
Belief in an external God is the belief in a god that is outside of one’s self. It is a belief in a god that is without that creates a reality of being without God. With an external god, I am without God and seperate and disconnected from God.
Belief in an Inner God is the belief in a God that is inside of one’s self. It is a god that is within, rather than without. A belief that God is within me. With an internal god, I am outside of God and separate and disconnected from God.
It is not God that is within me but the potential to be Divine (my Soul) that is with me.
Within & without; inside & outside; internal & external ; inner & outer; are all dualities of the same experience.
God exists beyond the world of dual reality.
The question is not: “Is God within or without”?
The question is:
“Am I connected to my Divinity or separate from it”?
“Is it within my potential to be Divine or not”?
“Am I with God or without God“?
