You are Life, Living

Spirituality information always tells us that we are one with God. That is the secret to your spiritual growth. You can understand this intellectually but until you get it in your heart you cannot live this truth. Let us seek clarity on this most basic of spiritual tenets by looking at it from a little different perspective.

Because it is easier for me to see how I am one with life rather that one with God I am going to substitute the “label” life for the “label” God for the rest of this article. Let's see if it helps us in reaching clarity.

If you are not separate from life (God) then you must be one with life (God). Now the key issue confronting us is how you define life.

Here is what my dictionary has to say about life:

Life n. 1 (the fact or act of living) being, entity, growth, animation, endurance, survival, presence, living, consciousness, breath, continuance, flesh and blood, viability, metabolism, vitality, vital spark; see also EXPERIENCE.-Ant. DEATH, discontinuance, nonexistence. 2 (the sum of one's experiences) life experience, conduct, behavior, way of life, reaction, response, participation, enjoyment, joy, suffering, happiness, tide of events, circumstances, realization, knowledge, enlightenment, attainment, development, growth, personality. 3 (A biography) life story, ……..and a whole lot more.

As you can see, this is a fairly lengthy definition because the subject matter in discussion is an inclusive ideal that encompasses this experience we are going through while we are on our visit to this physical, relative universe as part of our existence.

We are here to live out the process of life (i.e. process of God). Here is what my dictionary has to say about this word called live:

Live v. 1(To have life) exist, continue, subsist, prevail, survive, breathe, be alive; see also BE 2 (To enjoy life) relish, savor, experience, love, delight in, make every moment count, experience life to the full, live it up, make the most of life, take pleasure in, get a great deal from life- Ant. SUFFER, endure pain, be discouraged 3 (to dwell) live in, inhabit, settle………and a whole lot more.

Once again there is lots to say about a subject as inclusive as “living.” To exist, to prevail, to be alive. I especially liked 2 (To enjoy life) relish, savor, experience, love, delight in, make every moment count, experience life to the full, live it up, make the most of life, take pleasure in, get a great deal from life.

To relish. To savor. To experience. To love.

Wow! Is that the way you are defining your life? This definition isn't qualifying anything. It isn't saying that you need to relish only the good times. It isn't saying that you must savor only the best of your experiences. It isn't saying that experiences don't include those that don't seem to serve you. It doesn't say that love is only associated with what we define as nice or good or right.

These definitions, just like life, are all-inclusive. We can relish the bad as well as the good. We can savor the wrong as well as the right. We can experience what doesn't serve us as well as what does serve us.

And we can love all of it.

You are not separate from life. You are one with life. You are life, living.

You are not separate from God. You are one with God. You are God, Goding. How cool is that? Very humbling and yet very exalting.
