Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)
Poet and Founder of the Mawlawi Sufi Order
Ye who search of God, of God, pursue.
Ye need not search for God is you, is you!
Why seek ye something that was missing
ne’er? Save you none is, but you are –
where, oh, where?
The desire to separate humankind from
God, and all sentient life for that matter,
becomes more difficult as we explore
the spiritual concept of God as an
expanding consciousness.
Although the quote from Rumi above,
demonstrates what has been a popular
esoteric mystical opinion - we and God
are one - the exoteric religious authorities
have, for the most part, considered this
to be anathema, heretical, often severely
punished.
This may be a reason why I usually sit
on this type of guidance – note that I
recorded this guidance below mid July
of 2013 – and have not returned to it,
until I rediscovered it this morning,
and felt ready to delve into its meaning.
Usually, I would rather not offend
the sensibilities of those who cannot
fathom, or discuss, this close a union
of the divine and humankind. Just so
happens, Ann, my wife, is firmly in
this group.
Yet, in truth, most of my spiritual
work has been finding and redefining
a less supernatural, more user friendly
God, one that might fit within our modern
perspective. I believe the note below
is proposing just such a conceptual
framework. Your thoughts?
ONE PRESENCE SHARED
We and God are intertwined.
We and God are intermingled.
A shared consciousness, where our
consciousness exists within the limitless
consciousness of God, stretching
the space of all conscious existence –
we and God are one, God within,
God without – together, we and God –
the creator of all form (which exists as an
extension of our joint consciousness)
are intertwined.
Form is simply, and totally, a representation
of the creative thought of consciousness,
and as such, has no innate power. Always
in matters of form, we must return to the
originator and the origination of our sense
experience – creative conscious thought.
Let us fully comprehend and grasp this
essential truth of comingled consciousness;
sharing the combined power of truly dual
conscious existence, expanding our
consciousness and revealing the truth of
all existence, one presence shared. Seek
the point of origin in meditation, reflection,
and prayer.
Understand, it is only through our personal
conscious connection with the world of form
that God can impact or interact or experience
the world of form. As God is a vehicle of our
expanded consciousness, we, you, me all
sentient life is a conduit for god to form
consciousness, for mutual, total, integrated
existence. Each sentient being is a conscious
receptor of and within tangible existence.
(If we do not open ourselves up to this God
connection, God cannot fully enter our world
except through grace.)
