Is G-d in Heaven?

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

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 due to the capacity of a place, but by His desire to be there. And what He desires most is to be found in the work of our hands, fixing up His world.

In the heavens is G-d's light. In the work of our hands dwells G-d Himself, the source of all light.

Is G-d in Heaven?

I love the strength and faith you have in allowing commentary of the readers. My thoughts may be interesting and I appreciate the dialogue.

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
