The Human and the Divine

God said:

It is hard for you to believe that you are Divine so long as you inhabit a physical body encumbered with all the particularities of physical Human existence. If there were not the physical, you would not feel any hampering or tampering with your Divine essence. Your light would shine (as it really does now) and you would see it, and you would be amazed. Oh, wouldn't you!

Yet you are in a Human body right now. And so, there must be a reason why you are on Earth experiencing the physical density of the world of Earth. It is not an error. You were not misplaced. It must serve a purpose, perhaps many purposes. Accept that you are not situated here on Earth aimlessly. Even your wandering has a destination. Even your wandering is not random.

Because you believe so much in physical density, it is often hard for you to glimpse the Divinity within yourself or another. We could say that the physical is like a blindfold. And it is a blindfold that you chose. How could that be, you wonder. By what stretch of imagination, would you possibly choose to cut yourself off from your Divinity even if only in imagination? What a terrible thing to imagine, that you are isolated and alone on a ball called Earth that spins in empty space without visible support! You sometimes feel that you are like the Earth whirling in space.

The globe of Earth is not frightened about hanging there, but you are. When you think about your position in the cosmos, you are frightened. That is one reason why you don't like to think about it. You don't want to be fearful. Yet, so long as you are not alert to your vibrant connection to the Divine, what can you be but fearful? You know enough to know that you can't be out there in outer space all by yourself. Oh, that is too frightening to imagine. Yet you imagine it a lot.

While you may admit to the existence of Heaven, you conceive it as a physical place that is far far away. You place objects there that are familiar to you like harps and wings, thrones and robes, white clouds and blue sky. You believe Heaven is available in another dimension that you do not presently have access to. At the same time, this picture of Heaven isn't quite so attractive to you. You don't want to sit around in white and play the harp. In your mind, you want to get up and enter into some kind of activity, even while a great part of you would be happy to flee the world and all of its activity.

You do straddle two boats. You have one foot on Earth and one in Heaven. Your foot on Earth is heavy-laden, almost glued there. Your foot in Heaven, however, is so timid you hardly put it down. You're not sure about it or that you are held by something non-physical while you are in a physical body.

True, Heaven is not physical existence. Nor, in truth, are you. This little physical that you are enmeshed in is miniscule part of you. It is all imaginary, but what a good imagination you have! You are afraid of the physical that does not really exist and you are hesitant about the Divine that really does. You would like Heaven to exist even as you are not sure about it or that you really want to spend eternity there.

Consider Heaven enlivenment. Consider Heaven the pure energy of love. Do you not want to be in Love? During your stay in the Earth world, you have already experienced the State of Heaven. It is what makes you tick. Existing outside the five senses, Divine Heaven is yet the greater part of you. It is really where your life takes place. You are not glued to the physical. Just your body is. You live in a far vaster world. The physical is not your support, beloveds. Heaven is.
