Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 " As it gradually dawns on people, one by one, that the transformation of God is not just an interesting idea but is a living reality, it may begin to function as a new myth. Whoever recognizes this myth as his own personal reality will put his life in the service of this process. Such an individual offers himself as a vessel for the [continuing] incarnation of deity and thereby promotes the on-going transformation of God by giving Him human manifestation.

Take these words into yr hearts, as I have. They confer a dignity on every human being, a reason for being n struggling n searching! The Divine Guest [self] needs to be invited by the ego........ In other words, " God can't eat a poached egg! but we can share our little and great joys w/our Div Guest. Funny thing is, that whenever u do this, u get to keep the joy. U lose the superstition ab never say u are happy bec something will come to steal it! I have discovered the secret of happiness is to KNOW when u are happy! So stop at that moment n say it aloud :} yr Div G will rejoice. " The secret of the Philosopher's Stone is to look with the eyes and see with the heart.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Alice, How can one not agree with Jung and you here? I for one have done exactly what you and Jung said. That is how I personally look at the process of incarnation. I will with every strength in my being that it be so, yet I am dealing with human weakness and know that I come very far from doing this. The only hope is grace.One cannot, or I cannot, do this without help. Isn't it strange that there are people who do not even know happiness when it hits them in the face? Perhaps they are struggling so hard they do not realize what has been given gratis. I see a quieting down of the struggle at this season and an acceptance of the Gift we so desperately need whether we know it or not. This, to me is a season of joy, because I realize I don't have to and cannot do it myself. Thanks Alice for writing it out for all of us. Bless you, love, Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
