The Divine Essence
You don't have to reconcile the Divine with the Human. You think you have to, but you don't. Simply accept Truth when you see it, and accept Truth even when you don't see it. Take My word for it.
I say you are boundless. I say you are the Essence of Divinity. Yet you see a bumbling person who has to take out the trash. You love many aspects of the physical, and yet you don't begin to fathom how one immersed in the physical can also be immersed in the Divine. You are right you can't comprehend it, so stop trying to. Accept that you are physical. Accept that the physical has nothing to do with your Divinity except to camouflage it. The physical of you is irrelevant.
It will be good to stop thinking that even illness has anything to do with you. You are irrespective of illness and all the foibles of Human Life. What does a seeming condition of the physical body have to do with you? You don't have to get out from under the physical, beloveds. The physical is a magic trick played on you, or that you play on yourself, that's all.
Human life is not a train that runs over you. The Divine is you from the beginning of non-time. The physical you is a temporary sketch written in sand.
To your eyes, the Divine and the physical are incompatible. To your eyes. In actuality, the physical is a tiny portion of you. It is not even a portion, and yet you are attached to it even as you consider it a drawback. The physical is only the physical. The physical is important to you, and yet it is the least of you. Now you see it, and now you don't.
And yet while you are in a physical body, use it well. Exercise. Eat. And know that, in the scheme of things, it is the least of you, and yet it has its worthiness. Do not discount the body. Do not make it king. And do not make it pauper. It matters not what your body looks like. It is irrelevant, yet it is very relevant to you.
Do not neglect your body, for it is, after all, a vessel, and it carries you around on Earth. You give homage to a soup tureen as you carry it to the table. Give your body that much honor. Appreciate it while you have it, well knowing that there is a permanent aspect of you, and that certainly isn't the physical.
The physical and the Divine do not have to be in conflict. There is not an argument going on.
Just as the soup tureen carries the soup for that little time, so does your body carry you. Yet the tureen is not the soup. Nor is it considered so. Everyone knows the difference.
Yet not everyone knows the difference between the physical you and the you as you really are exempt from all the perceived limitations of the body. So I am suggesting that you honor the vessel you appear in, and yet know that you are far more than your body and whatever your body indicates. Your body is a temporary stopgap. The Divine Essence of you is Eternal, Immortal, and Infinite.
So the boat you ride in is your body. The boat has its limits, and yet you are far beyond any limits. The boat you sail in can go from shore to shore over shining seas, and yet the wonders of Earth do not exceed the wonders of Heaven. And yet Heaven is a natural state. We can say that the physical is a parade down Main Street, while you are always dipping into Heaven. Whether you know it or not, you carry Heaven like a flag, and yet Heaven has no borders. It is beyond nation. It belongs to everyone the same.
