Meditation & Spirituality~ You Are God?
The Holy Trinity in it’s simplest form suggest that God is creator, creature, and the act of creating… God is all in all. This is not to be confused with the idea that the sum total of things equals God. Rather, in truth things are no-thing at all. Life is so whole, so complete, that there are no parts! The creature and the Creator are of one substance. Furthermore, creation is not an event, but Life without beginning or end. Creation is nothing more than that one substance or energy in eternal motion...
“Then he realized; I am this creation, for I have poured it forth from myself.
In that way he became this creation. In verily, he who knows this, becomes in this creation a creator.” - The Upanishads
We participate in this sovereignty to the exact extent that we sacrifice the belief that we are some thing that exist apart from life. We come to total freedom only when we cease to be the impotent idea that engages with life from a safe distance. This idea, also known as the ego, is the only thing that prevents us from realizing that we are in no way discontented, but are in fact a dimension or manifestation of Life. Simply put, the belief that you are not God is the only obstacle to the realization that you were God in the flesh all along!
This misguided belief is sacrificed through an act of complete participation. In other words, the sacrifice and act of complete participation are opposite sides of the same coin. The sacrifice represents the death of the ego, and the act of participation symbolizes the resurrection of the great Reality that has been violently suppressed by confusion and fear. This sacrifice is carried out on the altar of prayer and/or meditation. This sacrifice happens right now!
