In \u201cMy will and God\u2019s will\u201d Ole Therkelsen poses the question: What or who do you think God is? There are many differing concepts of God. Some believe in the devil as the cause of everything unpleasant and in God as the cause of everything pleasant. Martinus, however, defines God as absolutely everything that exists. He further defines two types of communication with God: the telepathic form that we normally call prayer and the physical form, which is our daily encounter with life in all its aspects. He looks at the idea of free will and the evolution of prayer from the animal\u2019s cry of fear to the highly evolved human being\u2019s well formulated communication. Ole mentions Martinus\u2019s symbol no. 16 \u201cThe Eternal Body\u201d in this lecture. You can see the symbol and read a short explanation on the Martinus Institute's website.  The symbol is explained in detail in The Eternal World Picture, vol. 1 by Martinus.
