 * 1917, Halvor H. Urdahl, The Key of Knowledge: A simple treatise comprising the phenomena of Mind and of Matter, combining Psychology, Physiology and Sociology in Scientific Philosophy, : H. H. Urdahl Co. (Inc.), chapter 2: “Existence”, pages 13 –14:
 * Nearly every person of all peoples has his or her individual idea of what God is, and to each one God is not more or less than their own personal conception. Almost without exception it is admitted that God is beyond our understanding and comprehension. [¶] We do not deny this general belief, but admit that this mental state among all people is a natural condition. This natural condition we recognize and put to its fullest use so that Scientific Philosophy adopts the prevailing belief that God is All, but we take it literally and in its fullest meaning. [¶] This is an insufficient explanation so it is necessary that we produce an Omni-Conception so that it can be seen what Scientific Philosophy means when it adopts the general belief that God is All. [¶] Then, together, let us ponder the Omni-Conception which Scientific Philosophy offers. [¶] “God is All; the first cause and all beginnings; all endings and the last effect; the source of all sources; within, without, above and below; the existent and non-existent; the known, the unknown and unknowable; all time, the past, the present and the future; all space, force, power, substance and matter; the confined and the unconfined; the possible and the impossible; neither Truth alone, nor falsehood, but both Truth and falsehood; neither perfection alone nor imperfection; but both perfection and imperfection; not good alone nor evil, but both good and evil; all life and death; and unto Mankind is made known and revealed in Knowledge.” [¶] In your reasoning upon this, our Omni-Conception, you will come to the realization that it is true, absolute truth. It is a real Omni-Conception, that is, a conception of the All. According to these teachings and the general belief held by all peoples and races for ages, it is a conception of God for God is All. It is inconceivable that God is more than the first cause and the effects emanating therefrom, or all that is expressed in our Conception.
