divinity and human experience.

the concept of divinity brings forward ideas of god in heaven and the process of the church in society. these are the natural effects of the meaning of the word divinity in society. divine means god. god means church and all that entails. we accept this meaning because it`s all that we have to go on. every time we have thoughts about the issue of spirit we think of church and religion. so religion satisfies our spiritual needs, right?
o.k. so there is some other thing going on then. something that`s not being satisified via religion that has something to do with the idea of spirituality and divinity.
the thing that`s not being satisfied is our own attachment to the divine. our own intuitive knowledge that there is something more than a concept of a seperate god in heaven and us all "down here" on earth until we die.
it reminds me of theories in physics that say things like "the universe was created in a big bang billions of years ago". o.k., from what? what was there beforehand?
we don`t get satisfactory answers. it`s o.k. not to know, but fudging answers with silliness makes one lose confidence in the process of inquiry.
back to the discussion of divinity.
we question the creation of our reality and all that is in front of us. some like to give a seperate god the credit, but any critical inquiry into the concept put forth fails to satisfy.
we stand witness to the miracle of everything around us every conscious moment. the common, obvious, consistant element in all of what we see is us. maybe we have something to do with the creation of this wonder. why do we have to give someone, or something else the credit.?
the search for the divine consumes spiritual endevours. the bhuddists sit for hours meditating, christians pray, muslims pray. nothing has changed in all of this. the grass is still green. sky is still blue and the water is still absolutely and perfectly wet.
hmm. what if we are the one`s doing this experience. what if we are the divine spirit.
want to find out for sure?
let`s say the word of god in the bible is the words of men on paper.
let`s say the world is created by what we decide in the morning and hold in our thoughts all day.
let`s say we develop a practice where we learn to hold these creative, loving thoughts in our minds all day.
let`s agree to do this for a period of time,say a month or so, and see what happens.
let`s play creator and choose loving, exciting, playful thoughts that have direct benifit now.
let`s find a quiet place where we can sit and imagine a screen in our mind where we can run a movie or slide show of all the things we want to have happen.
this takes some practice and discipline initially, but over time, the practice becomes habit and soon it becomes an automatic part of your day.
your movie becomes your life.
it has to because it already has, you just didn`t realise you were doing it. the fact still remains.
breathtaking.
the divinity is within. it was there all along.
jesus died for saying it.
all mention of his mystical teaching has been tranlslated out or removed entirely.
why? who is going to go to church and listen to the priest talk about his conversations with god if they understand how the whole thing works?
who`s going to go to bible"study" when they realise what has happened to the bible over the centuries?
who`s going to put coins on the collection plate given thier own spiritual practice of meditation and visualisation?
to be human is to be divine. it is our birthright.
claim it now.
