Beloveds,
“We comprehend the Infinite only to the degree that It expresses Itself through us, becoming to us that which we believe It to be. So we daily practice in our meditations the realization of Life: “Infinite, indwelling Spirit within me, Almighty God within me, Real Substance within me, that which is Truth within me.” … How true this is! We cannot come unto the “Father Which art in Heaven” except through our own nature. Right here, through our own nature, is the gateway and the path which leads to illumination, to realization, to inspiration, to the intuitive perception of everything. The highest faculty in man is intuition and it comes to a point sometimes where, with no process of reasoning at all, he instantly knows.” … Ernest Holmes

I embrace my attentiveness and accept my distractibility – it, too, is part of the Divine. From the place of my full attention, I recognize God as all of creation from the most minute to the immeasurable vastness of the Universe and every thing within it all. I immerse in it, absorb it, am scintillated by it. I recognize the stirring within me as the One Life that animates all of creation.
