1) PREMISE:   
It is greater for a thing to exist in the mind and in reality than in the mind alone.

1

2) PREMISE:   
God means "that which nothing greater can be thought."

none

3) FROM 1 AND 2 IT FOLLOWS THAT:   
If God only exists in the mind but not in reality, then something greater than God could exist (i.e., something that has all the qualities of our thought of God, as well as real existence). This cannot be true since this would violate our definition of God.

none

4) FROM 3 IT FOLLOWS THAT:   
God exists in the mind and reality.
