Yes, God is the reality in our thought, the reality in our reality. So far as there is any reality in thought and our view of reality, it is God. But this is only one thought among the myriads of thoughts our mind holds. Now if God is infinite, God cannot possibly be only one among many; for under such circumstances, no matter how we characterized God, God would not be infinite. To be infinite, God would not be affected in any way by our thoughts. Therefore the Reality of God is beyond any thought, and this Reality is possible to us when we cease to think about God and begin to love God.
