Looks like Hebrews: 11.3 agrees.

When you come to understand what truth "is" then you will find and see it (the truth) in all physical things and this brings enlightenment out of what is deep within you! Like Christ said "what you have within you can save you but if you do not have it within you it will kill you"
Here is a hint, you must first come to understand the past by looking at the present.

I'm not sure... but I consider God to be the expanding growing consciousness of the Universe of which you and I and all are a part of... hence God has always existed and exists in all. "before" implies there is something "after" and this is not how I feel it. sunman what do you think?

It could be said that all matter - that includes material and physical, in our world and in the universe is the manifestation of God depending on ones belief.
They are not the enlightenment of God nor could they be as God is suppose to be Omnipotent, Omnipresent, the Alpha and the Omega, the reason all is.
If you are thinking that material and physical things can teach God something towards enlightenment, I would be surprised if even 1% of the population agreed that was possible..
Think on and expand your mind some more.

You should put an order in your head and ask simple questions.What do you really mean by material/physical things being enlightenment of God?

Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

Many pantheists would probably agree with that statement. So would many panentheists.
