God Is…

As soon as I hit the save button from writing yesterday’s post, I began to imagine the agreement and the disagreement among those reading the post. I also wanted to elaborate on something that I said.
Yesterday, I mentioned that for most people they cannot see the union between themselves and their neighbors, not to mention they cannot see themselves as the homeless person or the rapist down the street. A few months ago, I wrote a post called, “The Game of Relationships” which talked about how life is a game of relationships between you and everything else, and this ties into that as well. I know that it can be difficult to see yourself as the homeless person or the rapist simply because you do not want to see yourself as that. However, if that homeless person or rapist (or any other thing that you judge) allows you to express your Godliness in relationship to it, is that not God itself?
Please do not get me wrong; I am not saying that God comes down to Earth and portrays itself as the rapist or the homeless person just to set you up to have an opportunity to express your Godliness (even though I do think that is possible). All I am saying is that you can find God in everything. God is balance. God is the balance between holy man and whore.
Yesterday a friend commented that in her experience, in the midst of her suffering, she is cared for, reassured, and loved… if she would only slow down long enough to allow herself to feel it. That in a nut-shell my point in all of this. God is always there, there is nothing that God is not, and there comes a time in a person’s life (in their spiritual maturity) that they must come to grips with this.
I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts.
