I was never identified with Christianity, much. That's really an understatement, but folks like William Blake and Thomas Merton and ... a very few others soften my position. Oh, yes, Gandhi and Kalil Gibran.
I became a Buddhist for a while, but I woke up from that. I didn't leave it. I swallowed it enough to metabolize it a bit. One never fully metabolizes it. Haha.
I'm a nature mystic, with or without the capital N. If being itself is not "the divine" then nothing is.
Anyway, I like this little essay. It speaks to the true heart of the matter well.
Oh, VMB! You keep doing this. THIS THIS is so perfectly timed, synchronistic, for me in this moment! I have so much I want to say, but for now, I want to tell you again how much you function as a spirit guide for me, an Anam Cara. I KNEW when I first “tripped over you” in service of Mary Magdalene, that the Divine Universe connected us. As much as I want to stay here with you for awhile, my Soulmate and constant companion , Jessie Mae, canine spirit dressed up as an English Springer Spaniel needs my attention and presence: she has been assigned to keep me grounded! And, I’m proving a challenge for her! She loves unconditionally and so has honed her ability to be patient as a gift from God to me!!! Am I well-blessed or what? Namaste ❤️🙏
"Love reveals God. False love reveals the wound we are trying to avoid". It often comes down to avoiding pain. We are all wounded and have worshipped false gods to avoid the wound. But few recognize the true Love we are seeking and what it reveals to us. We put on sunglasses, look away, or just plain refuse to open up to receive something so grand. But your beautifully articulated essay had me laughing out loud and letting my heart open to the possibility. Thank you!
It's easy to fall in love with the latest shiny rock. We will look back and wonder why we missed the greatest event which was the Monk's knowledge Renaissance that is going to change absolutely every aspect of everything in our lives and make AI look insignificant by comparison. Explaining chemistry so that we can understand things like batteries or what's going on around us or empowering us to take on things like Climate Change is stupendous real progress, not a toy. AI is more like looking in the mirror while the monks balance of forces that gives us The Theory of Everything will actually cause a tsunami of progress that will transform us from a caterpillar into a butterfly.

The thing everyone would want is God to explain creation. We get the next best thing with God working through Jesus to leave that message. The monks claimed that it was important that we mature enough thanks to the first apostles so that we could implement the second stage of Jesus's plan. That was to release the explanation for creation so that everyone could have a better understanding of God and God's domain. You need to understand everything in our light universe and if you read it in my article: guess what just happened, you'll realize how it directly intimately interacts with God and how God can be all knowing and everywhere. It's a marvelous Revelation but it's also something now that science can verify. Either we are being giving The Theory of Everything or we are not.
Most people do not realize that facts are neutral. We are noticing things and collecting facts about them and want to know what causes all of this which is creation. The causes are what we form theories about or speculate about but we do not need to because we actually have the answers now. This means you are either 100% correct in explaining creation or you are 100% wrong. Science has consistently been 100% wrong and is wandering off into crazy fantasies. This was predicted and is the point. We need this divide intervention. It is the greatest moment in our history. And if you watch the news you'll realize that this gift is coming at exactly the right time.
The mind cannot contain what love is. I think that is the heart of it all. I love the comparison to an astrolabe. It helps us see. Thank you for sharing these wise words. I always go away with so much to think about when I read your essays.

One of my favorite Rumi quotes is “Love has come to worship and transform. Stay awake, my heart. Stay awake.”
What a fantastic article. It takes you to the basement then to a window to read the sky.
I like the admonition of trying to make something a god but it does not work because it can't hold all of you.

This was really deep and insightful and quite valuable as a practical guide on how to develop oneself spiritually through the lens of love. 🙏🏾⚡🐦🔥

Are you going to help me save the world or what?
