All this is divine
All this that we see around us is the manifestation of the divine. Everything that is strong and good and powerful in human nature is the outpouring of that divinity. It is only potential in many but there is no difference between one individual and another All of us are divine. There is, as it were, an infinite ocean behind, and you and I are like so many waves coming out of that infinite ocean; and each one of us is trying our best to manifest that infinite outside.
Identified as this human ego, we feel alone. We look at our fellows and we see only our differences. We look out into the world and we see only separation. We always judge whether someone is going to help us or harm us, whether they are for us or against us, and then we must treat them accordingly. We are living in a state of constant judgment – ourselves and others. It is painful and frustrating and lonely, interspersed with moments of peace and freedom.
But always, there behind the judgment and the thoughts of separateness, is the truth of our being, the divinity
How do we find it?
By looking for it.
By refusing to identify with the thoughts of separation that get triggered by our passage through the world, We are something deeper. By looking at others and knowing that they, too, are something deeper. By reminding myself, continually, that I am divine, that you are divine, that all this is divine. And then acting accordingly.
