Giving Nature of God

The Return of The Prodigal Son - Rembrandt


"I declare that I will not pray to God to give to me, 
nor praise Him for what He has given me, but, 
I will pray to him to make me worthy to receive, 
and I will praise Him because 
He is of such a nature and essence that 
He must give. 

That we must thus in truth become the son, 
may that truth help us, of which I have spoken. 
Amen."
 
~Meister Eckhart

He Draws Us...

 



"He draws us unto Himself by love… 
and then we can do nothing but behold Him
enjoying, with a high, 
mighty desire to be all oned unto Him—
centered to His dwelling—
and enjoy His loving and delight in His goodness."
~Julian of Norwich

On One Hand...

 

AI Generated


On one hand, 
I know it is not easy to recognize the real 'I'. 
On the other hand, 
the real I has a different 'taste' or feeling within us. 
When I am identified, 
I can still discern the real I. 
It's just that in the midst of the identification, 
I dismiss it and follow through 
with the path of least resistance, 
the identified path. 
I want to borrow M's comment 
and apply it to the real I:
It's the spark, 
the fire within us. 
We need to tend to it, 
to not extinguish it. 
To keep it going, growing. 
I can feel it inside of me. The fire within.”
I have verified that the real I 
is the way the soul communicates with me. 
If I dismiss it, 
the communication path reduces. 
If I listen to it, 
then a real relationship is developed.
~T
