Thank you, Iris, for making yourself “known” to us. You’ve put the matter so eloquently that I’ve asked you if I could post your comment.
Aloha Steve,
After reading your “I Want You To Know Me Deeply” article, I had a wonderful day of contemplation about what that would mean…why it would be a desire. Then also realizing all my friends are artistic creators of one thing or another…all lovers and creators of something amazing and beautiful.
Here is my short version, and THANK YOU !!
From these premises: ALL is God, God is Love, Love is all. Creator God desired to know itself..all it could be, and one expression was not considered, but untold numbers of Spirits were created as God Individualized to make known the unknown.
So the desire to know someone deeply comes from the yearning of the Divine Love we are to know itself. [Absolutely, Iris. I agree] And how do we do that? By engaging in and observing the Creations of the Divine in all of us, all things. Like the Blind men with the elephant, discovering all the aspects of what the elephant was like.
We are here to Create, to discover the Unknown…what else is God? How many ways can this Divine Love express? Surely it is endless, coming from an unlimited mind that is in us. Physicality is another way to experience God…to taste that apple from the tree God (we) created.
So to know God is to discover what God in us has created from the LOVE we are.
Is that not why we love our art museums, the Olympics, a new technology, a flower garden, the beauty of Nature, a deep forest where we can experience deep silence and connection to love in that Fifth Dimensional reality & higher.
In this contemplation of the ONENESS, I now find myself thinking differently about something amazing someone can do…like the ballet dancer, the opera singer. Instead of thinking, “I can do that,” I realize I JUST DID !
Keep on shining with your “naked” pen.
