we have two cosmic questions going on to uh aaron cohen would like to know if god is beyond creation and nothing is created like him does that mean he always works through intermediaries how did god himself lead israel and how did god himself i guess lead israel in the wilderness or was that intermediaries too and then we have another question i don't i don't get that question maybe the question is that if god is so um separated from the world that he's so beyond our uh i'm not sure there's a uh beyond our uh i'm not sure there's a uh i think there's a uh album in uh small that discusses it but that god is both separate from the world but yet he engages with the world does he engage with the world or not it definitely does definitely directly everything is directed 100 percent yes god it through intermediate intermediaries means tools not not a powerful thing in itself in the tool of god he has he deals
