What the Divine Seeks

5/9/2019

The Divine does not want to rule over you. The Divine does not want you to tremble in fear. The Divine seeks neither submission nor endless praise and worship. The Divine does not want to be objectified or commodified. The Divine does not want you to regard yourself as a means to an end, but as an end.

The Divine seeks to commune with you. The Divine wants you to recognize and acknowledge the divine within. The Divine waits patiently for you to answer your Call, find your purpose, harness your creativity, and discover your freedom. The Divine inspires you to ascend; in turn, the Divine is inspired to descend.

A communion of love.

This, above all else, the Divine seeks.

Yes - that's it. It is like a parent and child (it *is* a parent and child!)

@ Bruce - Your comment is very encouraging and I appreciate it.

I am always apprehensive when it comes to posting thoughts/ observations about the metaphysical because there are many writers/thinkers - you, foremost among them - who comprehend the metaphysical far more lucidly than me and are able to articulate their comprehension far more clearly than I am often able to do.

It's nice of you to say so, but I am just trying to get things clear to myself - as you are.

Next, I think you need to clarify the meaning of 'communion' - because different people mean (very) different things by it.

@ Bruce - Not an joining/becoming one with. No extinguishing of the individual consciousness/divine self by becoming part of something greater.

More like recognition, understanding, and acceptance. Friendship. Like long-lost friends reuniting after a lengthy absence. That is how I understand communion, and that is what I tried to communicate here.

@ Bruce - But I also like Arkle's idea of the friendship between a parent and his grown child.

And participating in creation. That is key, I believe.
