People imagine that since G‑d is not physical, therefore He must be in heaven. But the heavens—and all things spiritual—are just as much creations as the earth. Less dissonant, more harmonious, more lucid—but finite realms nonetheless.
G‑d is not found in a place because it is big enough to contain Him or so magnificent that He belongs there. G‑d is found in whatever place He desires. And where does He desire most to be found? In the work of our hands, repairing His world.
The heavens are filled with spiritual light. In the work of our hands dwells G‑d Himself, the Source of All Light.

"But the heavens—and all things spiritual—are just as much creations as the earth. Less dissonant, more harmonious, more lucid—but FINITE realms nonetheless."
i really never knew that 'heavens' wherever that is, and all things spiritual were actually finite! thank you

By placing God onto a finite position and giving a gender to the creator (Him)....You have dictated the presentation from your perceptive into the human terms of the Creator.
//G‑d is found in whatever place He desires.//
God that is in all is everywhere and not in one space of our concept of time. For if God 'Desires' (another human term) to be at one place in that position then God by all technicality and relative science cannot be at all the other place (wherever that is)

You can see in wonderful rabbis teachings with great love, in any person who sincerely love other human beings regardless of background.
One can see in your family as they gather in homes to celebrate Shabbat or whatever occasion which is of G~d's holiness, and in the kindest words which one speaks to others and even to animals.
Now you can think about all the others and name the ones I didn't mentioned.

I believe that G-d's light is in the "world" as well as in heaven. The quantum phsics view of the world complements the "light" which G-d said into existence. They speculate that a mere cubic centimeter of "nothingness" (ein sof perhaps) of space contains more energy than the totality of all the stars and other "matter" in the universe. Perhaps the letters yud resh aleph (which I believe are grossly mistranslated as fear... or not translated) is REALLY the Quantum Observer.
I look forward to your daily commentary and would like the opportunity to see you in Miami Beach as a visiting sage.
Thanks
