» The Divine
John Chuchman
Posted June 19, 2011 by John Chuchman
The Divine,
which is Absolute,
is necessarily Infinite.
As such,
the Divine infinitely radiates itself
since no barriers can exist
to prevent
this infinite radiation.

The Divine
radiates itself
as the Universe
including
me.

But as One with the Divine,
I am more than just a devoted Lover
who longs to unite with God,
nor am I only
the valiant Seeker
who struggles to know the Divine.

For most of my life,
I dealt with the Divine
as One Apart
from me.

But I
as Lover
and
as Seeker
exist only as
Loved and Known
by the Creator,
not really
apart.

Creation,
my individual Soul,
and
God
are indeed one.


I can distinguish myself
from others
for purposes of communication
but
my mind, heart, will,
apart from God
do not really exist.

It is not I who lives,
but Christ that lives in me.

This is not simply
identifying myself with God,
it is the honest recognition
that
the Divine exists alone
and that
all of the universe,
all of creation,
including me,
is simply
the radiation of that
Eternal Infinite.


Love, John
