We are at once here and yet not here. We are both immanent and transcendent. We play along the borders of the divine and in some ways we are the divine. Coming right out and saying that we are God ruffles many feathers, so let’s just go with the spark of God-ness that IS who we ARE. All that the Creator has created is divine.
Walt Whitman put it this way-
“We consider bibles and religions divine- I do not say they are not divine.
I say they have all grown out of you, and may grow out of you still,
It is not they who give life, it is you who give the life.”
There’s something in that which sounds a bit prideful and something that seems a bit true- and scary! Much like the modern day community of quantum physics scientists, non-locality is playing with our minds. As I lay here with lap top propped up on my legs, I wonder where else I am this evening. I’ve left my physical locality on a few occasions, but not as often as I’d like.
Why must we wait to truly SEE the reality of God? Maybe Hazrat Khan said it well, “No one has seen God and lived. To see God we must be nonexistent.”
And what’s this have to do with 2012 I ask? Everything!
We live beyond the bounds of this planet, this solar system. We have the potential to know what those who lived before us, who ventured “out there”, did. The Mayans made the journey to far away galaxies, did laps around our universe, and surveyed parts of deep space revealing facts that we in our smug, Greek-thinking minds have only recently discovered.
The non-local mind that we’ve but recently discovered is boundless and limitless. Think about what that means!
