All of Him


That force that holds electrons in their orbit and planets in theirs, explodes incessantly within the stars above and is the darkness that fills the empty space—-that force is a single whole and it is God.

It is not all of God. It is an expression of God. All of it could disappear in a single instant, and for Him nothing would have changed.

Where is it that you can find all of God? Wherever He wishes to be found.

Right now, He hides within some scattered branches placed upon an autumn hut.

‘The Father and I are one’


"When Jesus said, ‘The Father and I are one’, he was summarizing
the greatest mystery of religion. And one day we too must be able
to say the same words.
Some will say, ‘Yes, but we’re not Jesus. He was the son of God,
whereas we are sinners.’ The Church has tried to make Jesus the
equivalent of God himself, the second person of the trinity, the
Christ, a cosmic principle, thus creating an infinite distance
between him and human beings. But is this the truth? Jesus
himself never said such a thing; he never claimed to be
essentially different from other people. He said he was the son
of God, but he did not claim this divine lineage for himself
alone but emphasized the divine nature of all humans. Otherwise,
what would be the meaning of the phrases ‘Our Father in heaven,’
‘Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect’ and also ‘The one
who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact,
will do greater works than these’?"
