Space, in simple terms and ordinary language, designates the interval between objects or events. We begin cultivating a quite different sense of space when we grasp that omnipresent Spirit necessarily occupies all space. Mary Baker Eddy says of God: "He fills all space, and it is impossible to conceive of such omnipresence and individuality except as infinite Spirit or Mind. Hence all is Spirit and spiritual."Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 331;
The consciousness of Spirit's omnipresence is what reveals the real nature and individuality of man. God's presence throughout all space does not squeeze out man but assures both the realism of our true selfhood and its immortality. It is the quintessence of practicality to realize that there is no matter-space between God and His manifestation, the real man; that there is no void in God and man that can be taken over by evil, or by the belief of evil.
The omnipresence of God is far more than a reassuring theological truth. It is literal and provable fact. As defined in Christian metaphysics, space is not a kind of emptiness, but divine omnipresence. There is nothing but Spirit and its idea anywhere. To admit otherwise is a mortal mistake on the part of material consciousness believing in finite objects and physical space. Man can never fall out of God's infinite omnipresence.
