Johannes Scotus Erigena

"I rise to heaven i meet you, if i lie down in hell you are there. this interpretation of god is somewhat how i like to picture god yet what i have usually heard in the past is a bit different . Sure there is the notion that god is this larger than life being who will be waiting for you in heaven, at least that is what i used to veiw god as. But the picture that this reading paints of god is of almost more of a spirt that lives withing all people, and every place that person goes that person will be in god's hands.The next portion of this reading was a bit hard for me to grasp "We ought not to understnd God and creation as two things distinct from each other, but as one and the same. But after giving it some thought it is just making the same point that the first part is talking about. God is the creator and yet god live withing the creation, god is all beings and god is in all that was created.
