神的臨在

在你內在有個神的臨在。神的這面向展現在每個存有的中心。這是我們在失落和孤獨的時候，在我們身邊和內在所感受到的奧秘存在。祂靜靜的在我們心中等候，永遠的等待我們的注意，永遠等待我們的發現，永恆的存在 – 如此的古老，親如我們自己本身的存在。就像是旅行過無數里程，無數世，繞過山脈、河流、沙漠和雨水，尋找在我們每一步中牽著我們的看不見的手…. 就像是旅行過無數里程，無數世，繞過山脈、河流、沙漠和雨水，我們一直在尋找每一步中牽著我們的那隻看不見的手….。

要認識神，就是開始與神連結。建立連結，而不是與較高光的存在, 或宇宙的抽象概念，而是與一個親密的老朋友，最多的愛和關懷的朋友, 不像曾經認識的任何朋友,當我們在受苦時, 祂願意與我們完全在一起受苦。心衷的臨在在我們思想中在安慰我們，以我們內在的聲音指導我們。這是神的本質、智慧、最高的愛和天堂般的光〜神本身在我們心的柔暖中等待、等待、等待、不斷等待、沒有盡頭的等待我們的歸來….

The Divine Presence

There is a divine presence that lives inside you. It is this aspect of divinity that manifests in the center of every being.  It is the mysterious presence we sense around us and within us in times of loss and aloneness. It is this, which abides quietly in our heart, ever waiting for our notice, ever waiting for our discovery, timelessly present – so ancient, as close as our very being.  It is like having traveled countless miles, endless lifetimes winding our way through mountain, river, desert and rain in search for the unseen hand that has been holding ours with every step….

To know the divine, is to begin relating with the divine. It is relating, not to an abstract notion of God, light or the universal, but like to an old and dear friend, a friend like none other, a friend whose love and concern is supreme, a friend who suffers wholly when we suffer. It is this heartfelt presence that comforts us in thought and guides us as our inner voice. It is essence, wisdom and love supreme, the heavenly light of God ~ God himself waiting in the soft of our heart, waiting, waiting and ever waiting without end for our return….
