Being; Becoming Both

Posted by Steve Filkins on July 30, 2009 at 8:27pm

August 2009Many things in life are simply a matter of perspective. We can say, “I stand here the accumulation of all I have experienced, thus, the most I have ever been”. Conversely, we can say, “I stand here peering out at eternity, thus, the least of what I will ever be”. Both perspectives are correct but neither describes who we are until place them in the same sentence, seeing ourselves as both at the same time. We often dissect reality but we are whole, being neither this nor that but them. To think of ourselves merely as children of the universe diminishes us. We preceded time and space. We were present when force condensed into energy, when energy compressed into matter, and the universe came into being. We danced with the angels when stars were formed, and the light of wisdom shone out through each of them across an ever expanding universe. We sang accompanied by the music of the spheres as the energies formed the gases, the vapors, the liquid and finally the solid upon which we would plant our feet. When the music became form, and the form became us, we possessed the means with which to interact with matter. We are not children but cocreators of the universe and we cannot be measured by its physical size. Yet, we are gods in the making, and the entire universe has been placed in our care.To see ourselves as everything inhibits our growth, but to see ourselves as nothing shrivels an aspiring soul. We are simultaneously everything and something, creator and created. There is nothing we are not but there is much we have not yet experienced. This is where we find ourselves, this is our lot, this is our destiny; we are everything become something, so that something may become everything. When we question our reason for being, the answer should be “for experience”. For it is only through experience something may become everything.Let us not feel crushed with the weight of who we are or what we may become but to understand we are in the arms of that Infinite Loving Kindness we call God. We will not be overcome for what is too large, too difficult for our precious Lord. Our God is the designer, the keeper of our ultimate perfection, and there are no obstacles along the path He has not, in his infinite wisdom, allowed for. When the journey gets difficult, when the obstacles seem daunting, it is helpful to remember our gracious Lord has promised us we will never be faced by more than we can constructively deal with. Likewise, as aspiring souls, fragments of God, we will not retreat from the challenge. We will not be defeated though we often fear we will. There is placed before us each day, all that we need to experience our own divinity. We can feast upon the banquet or nibble upon its crumbs. The choice is ever our own.May God bless you and surround you with such tenderness that you will remember you are an eternal child of Infinite Loving Kindness, against which nothing can prevail.________________________Harvey A.
