Guest guest Posted August 27, 2000 Report Share Posted August 27, 2000 Divine Birth Never has anything become so kindred, so alike, so one with another, as the soul becomes with God in this birth ... In this birth, God flows into the soul with such dazzling light that God & the soul merge into one ~ one spirit, one essence, one Being. God has given birth to the Son as you, as me, as each one of us. As many beings ~ as many gods in God. In my soul, God not only gives birth to me as His son, He gives birth to me as Himself, & Himself as me. My physical father is my father with but a small part of his being, & I live my life separate from him. He may be dead, & I may live. God however is my father with His entire being, & I am never separate from Him. I am always His; I am alive only because He is alive. In this divine birth I find that God & I are the same: I am what I was & what I shall remain, now & forever. I am carried above the highest angels. I neither increase nor decrease, for in this birth I have become the motionless cause of all that moves. I have won back what has always been mine. Here, in my own soul, the greatest of all miracles has taken place ~ God has returned to God! ~Meister Eckhart~ (Consciousness conscious of Consciousness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
