rather than a physical one, and thus try to deny the fact that God is
everywhere. Under their own false beliefs, the Christians in question

claim that a belief in a "remote God" prevails in Islam and that God is
inaccessible in it (this is far from the truth). They imagine in this way
they can build a foundation for the concept of "the son of God," and
that instead of the supposed belief in the "remote" God (surely God is
beyond this) they imagine to prevail in Islam, they claim that in
Christianity God makes contact with His servants through Jesus
(pbuh). This is a most serious error and stems from an inability to ful-
ly grasp the difference between the Person of God and His manifesta-
tion.
The term "We are nearer to him than his jugular vein" in the
verse refers to a physical proximity as well as a spiritual one. As we
have already explained, since everything is part of an illusion in our
brains and our whole lives are the total of these images forming in our
brains, then our bodies, cells and everything we possess and experi-
ence are images and, like all these copy images of matter, they are al-
so manifestations of God. Therefore, God is closer to us even than the

We perceive many things by the sea shore. The smell of the
sea, the coolness of the breeze, the sound of the waves, the
wetness of the pebbles, the distance of the horizon and all
these things are only a collection of perceptions created in
our brains. In fact, we can experience no real version of these
objects outside our brains. There are only images, and these
images are all manifestations of God. This means that God is
closer to us than the pebbles we seem to feel in our hands.
