You are the expression of Divine Source / God in that you were created in It’s image. God is the center of everything, all there is! It is the creator of the universe; the heavens, hell, Earth and everything in between. This includes human beings…this includes you! You are a divine spiritual being operating within a light body or soul; operating within an emotional body; operating within a mental body; operating within a physical body. They aren’t separately distinctive in the way I’ve described but each body carries with it an energy expression of the Divine. Because your physical presence is experienced through these bodies of consciousness, each one containing an essence of the Divine, God is able to express Itself.
As a child I was taught, God is in everything! It flows through each of us and all that we experience with our five physical senses. I didn’t know what that meant; I had no concrete vision and certainly no real understanding of how God could do that. I only had the word of the priests, rabbi’s and ministers who my family followed for spiritual guidance. As I grew, so did my curiosity, yet it took twenty years to receive a level of any real understanding and it took another thirty years before I began to embody what it actually means.
DIVINE SOURCE ESSENCE
I am unsure of the actual essence of Divine Source / God. For so many people it’s easier to imagine It as Him or Her in the form of a Human Being. But through the discovery of science it seems evident Divine Source is not only in that form but in many forms. How do we know this? We know it through the awareness of energy. By examining cellular and molecular structures the realization of everything as energy, becomes apparent. However, energy must have come from somewhere. How the pure core resonance of any energy became present in the universe, is yet to be proven. But the energy which ties one molecular form to another consists of the same substances. This is the closest I’ve come to understanding the essence of Divine Source.
Although there is no deeper realization of how energy [regardless of form] came to exist, presuming it is the essence of God, and all forms are made up of these same substances, Divine Source must be everywhere in all that is experienced.
DIVINE SOURCE EXPRESSION IN EVERY FORM
There isn’t one single experience physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually where Divine source is not expressing Itself. Imagine you are creating a painting. It begins with a pencil drawing with a variation of lines curving, bending, straight, and sharp. From there you focus on an area of the drawing to start coloring in. Before you know it you’ve colored in the entire piece taking time to add shading and contour as a way to breathe life into the picture. When it’s finished you have a masterpiece and in every single stage of the painting there isn’t one aspect that doesn’t contain an expression of what lies within you. The vision itself comes from you as well as what was required to bring it to life; to make it the most beautiful thing it can be.
Divine Source is no different in this. In each and every step the great “I Am”, as God referred to Itself during an encounter with Abraham, is always there. In the presence of all things, in the present moment of time, “I Am” is there. Walk into another area, speak to a different person, look into a mirror and “I Am” is there. It created the object, sound, and idea. It filled in the color adding texture and contour to bring experiential form in the moment. A portion of Itself must exist within every form of energy because… energy is the actual expression in whatever form it takes.
DIVINE SOURCE EXPRESSION IN EVERY PERSON
Even though you are the expression of Divine Source it does not make you God, but simply a breath of God to experience Itself in a particular way. Whatever your personality, whatever you believe, whatever you feel, whatever you have done, however passionate about whatever the subject, God is expressing Itself always!
The realized embodiment of this truth was revealed, to me, through the very sight, sound, thought and brilliant light essence which came shining through a friend I was speaking to. Suddenly, I was aware of the Divine speaking through me, expressing Itself while simultaneously becoming aware of the Divine being expressed from the one sitting across from me. In this opening of consciousness I also became aware, as I thought about Hitler, the terrorist group Isis, Mother Theresa, my children and so many others, that I knew the expression of Divine Source through all of them.
It is frightening to think of such energy expressions like Hitler and Isis carrying the essence of the Divine. God is always thought of as a particular image, performing in particular ways which feels good, promotes life, enhances good will toward others and unity of strength. But in that moment I saw Divine Source simply expressing Itself without favoritism or judgment in how it decided to do so. I tuned into how every form of energy expression is valid in the agreement of one person or the masses with God to express Itself in any given way for the enlightenment of all.
DIVINE SOURCE EXPRESSION IS SIMPLY LOVE
Not every situation, thought or action is pleasant. Some of it is very painful and against the sensibilities of the heart. Nevertheless, when Divine Source expresses Itself as someone who steals a purse left sitting alone on a bench, the purse owner learns not to leave something valuable unattended again. The purse owner has the opportunity to explore and shift her own denials, beliefs, fears, weaknesses into elevating herself past these forms of Divine Source expression, lying within her, into those that are more expansive and preferable.
Love has no special way of being. It is tender and gentle and it is steadfast and hard. Love is an expression of whatever it must be for the person experiencing it. It is for that person’s benefit or the benefit of others, whether it be for one other or an entire community [including world community] of individuals. God chooses to express Itself without ego judgment. Divine Source is the “I Am” and, in theory, is always a loving essence in whatever form of love It expresses. Only human beings define, in judgment, what love is and what it isn’t. For God, all is created and expressed in love. Therefore, every experience you have is an expression of Divine Source from love.
YOU ARE AN EXPRESSION OF DIVINE SOURCE
You are, as is everyone else, an amalgamation of Divine Source expression. What an amazing awareness of the billions of ways God does express Itself. And, in all ways this is for each and every person’s highest good. When you look into the mirror see yourself as an expression of the Divine. When you speak hear your voice and what’s being said as an expression of the Divine. When you interact with other people open your heart to the understanding of you and others as expressions of God interacting to experience Itself from multiple perspectives. Divine Source does not have a consciousness of you as anything less than It’s own form of expression.
