Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart,
and that depends upon how much he has polished it.
Whoever has polished it more sees more -
more unseen forms become manifest to him. ~ Rumi
In trying to resolve a problem, we can wander around in a circle for any length of time before we discover an appropriate resolve. It can be like a labyrinth, walking and knowing there is a path waiting to lead us out of the maze. Often times, it takes new sight to recognize the correct path.
Over the years, our concept of God has more than likely shifted and expanded. When we are in personal relationship with God, we work on learning how to comfortably embrace this great unknown. Then the next challenge seems to be learning to recognize God living within us. We hold such terrible images of ourselves, it is difficult to believe that Divine Spirit could live in such jumbled spaces.
When that is all processed, we then begin to see God inside of all things, not just ourselves. We can honor the life of a bird or a tree or an inventive thought. We can allow ourselves to be viewing life through the eyes of God. We can begin to acknowledge the spark of Divinty embedded within all things. In doing this, our lives slow down as there is much to be seen and valued.
As we learn to maintain a constant rapport with the Divine throughout our day, our inner light grows stronger and brighter. We touch the lives of people around us just by extending our radiant energy. Not only do we feel better about ourselves, we begin to feel better about others. A greater margin for compassion is created and unique thoughts prompt us into some action no matter large or small. Each of us has something to give which will be readily replaced by the love of God. We will experience a life not without challenge, but a life with an absolute awareness that we are never alone.
