Remember the experience you told me about where you found you were inches away from the face of God? I had a detailed version of that a few months ago as well.
While I was that close for the longest time a quote by the 13th century theologian Meister Eckhart came to mind. “The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God seeing me”.
I took that to heart in that moment and put it to work. I viewed, as if through a highly focused eye, somewhat tunnel-like in nature into God. One part of my awareness venturing forward while the rest of me remained where it was, separate from God. “Taking fullness from fullness, what remains is fullness”.
The part of me that moved forward into the realm of God then turned to look back at me (which in itself is Very Powerful I could write an article on that alone) looking through the same avenue from which I came and I saw me as God would see me. I was/am glorious, brilliant, vibrant, shimmering light, with golden petals of light at my centre. All in perpetual motion or dance. The feeling of love was almost unbearable. Now, I know why God has this sense of unconditional love. He is seeing His own Self reflected right back at Him as full as He is. He can’t help but love the scene with all His heart. Too beautiful for words. Each one of us is so very majestic at that level.
Seeing through God’s eyes is the beginning. From the thought to know Himself, God created a second self to act as a reflector/partner, us. In one way the self is both a singularity and a plurality. That’s why we experience ourselves, in UC, as both one and many in perfect harmony and balance. That principle is what allowed me to both venture forward in action and remain still, simultaneously.
The act of crossing over from the second Self to the first Self is part and parcel of our journey. It's structured in us because it's structured in God who made us, in His own image. In the end we can't help but be what God is. It’s the embracing of what we truly are. Both the worshipper and the worshiped. See MMY commentary in ch 6 v 32 of the Gita for verification/clarification.
Hope all of you enjoy this beauty beyond words.
