Conception

“He can choose any conception he likes, provided it makes sense to him.” (Chapter Seven, Big Book)

The conception of God does not create God and is not altered by it.

In other words, I remain downstream of God, and the conception remains downstream of me.

As the conception changes, God stays the same. The conception grows, but God was infinite all along.

I do not get to choose what God is.

God merely is.

I merely apprehend God.
