And we might add, as the body is the outer extension and expression of the mind’s consciousness.

The body is the outermost—the circumference of consciousness. God is the innermost—the Center. The human mind is the link that connects the brain consciousness of the body first with the soul, and then, as it is drawn inward, through Love’s development of its understanding, gradually with the Christ or Holy Spirit, and then with God.
