That is the important distinction as I see it too. There is the outer world and the inner world, the consensual and the private; the world in which we are an object for others and the world in which we are the surest (but least understood) subject; the physical and the mental, everything else and consciousness.
To my mind the world which God creates is the world as it is given to us in consciousness. I think of that which gives rise to God belief as a unit of consciousness, but probably one more ancient than that which we identify as “ourselves”. But I don’t think it functions as a unit of consciousness in the way we do. I think its manifestation is a counterbalance to who and how we are consciously. You could say it has guided our development by way of feedback through conscience and dreams and insight and preconscious selection of anything which even draws our conscious attention. Probably not at every moment but when the opportunity arises for I think the reigns of intention have been ceded to us for better or for worse. In that, whatever it is which gives rise to God belief seems to have made a leap of faith in us. Ultimately what we want -or should want- is what it wants but we have to find our way to that on our own with only these inward rumblings as guidance. Or we can make a leap of faith in a book and a collective attempt over time to extract and articulate all the wisdom it contains through theology. That process no doubt draws on the same inward guidance and therefore has relevance. But I’m just not sure that kind of knowledge can ever be made fully explicit.
If there is any teleology going on in our becoming as we are it has gotten this far with this dynamic relationship where what we know of our partner is only dimly known. I would be suspicious of any attempt to extract and distill what is deemed useful from our unseen partner and then proceed in an entirely rational manner from there. I think grace requires that the partnership continue and that we go on acknowledging our need for the Other. I don’t think this is something to be transcended.
Umm … too much information?
