I don’t believe that the universe exists. I believe that the only thing that exists is God and he is more than the universe. The universe is an extension of God into space and time. That’s the premise I start from in my work, that so-called “reality” is a mass delusion that we’ve all been required to believe for reasons totally obscure.
