Why do so many of us think of God as being located above us? Is there any particular reason for that? Or is it just historical accident?
Think of it this way. "Looking up" to someone. When someone is "above" you know this someone is better. (Talking about simplemindedness and symbology of course)
Q taller person runs faster, hits harder, resista more punches, etc. The kind of person you physically look up to so you dan see their eyes. So I assume it is enbewed in us that looking up is to see someone "better" . Also thin on how our chin goes up when feeling proud.
This "up" thing is not only for god but in general for the best or good stuff, the "higher" stuff. Aim "higher" right? Thongs when they grow they tend to become taller, so they move towards the heavens. Weather, rain, mostly something felt comg from above and it is so grand.
I assume all of this mixed for such symbology iof the "allmighty" being "up"
Oh! And seeing stuff from above, is a good view to see things in general.
