Title: Making God a Reality- The Curse of Familiarity
Post by: guest587 on Nov 09, 2023 08:23 pm
Another inquiry for the spiritually inclined.

I am starting to recognize that every single person or thing I interact with is of God. I've held this belief, but am sometimes not always cognizant of this fact. Because I am preoccupied with thoughts of the self, and thoughts of the self can create disturbances in our immediate environment. Nothing wrong with this. All learning.

But I have this idea that, it would be a great honor and very rewarding to treat every interaction as if I am interacting with my Beloved God. The One I pray to regularly. This means acknowledging that even in the ignorant, God is in them. And this means behaving, not in a way that is for the ignorant- but for the One God behind it all.

Sometimes, as we become familiar with peoples oddities and quirks we tend to dismiss them and the magic that would be felt say- in a total stranger interaction because, when we interact with a stranger it's more like operating from a blank slate. It's easier to project the desired energy. 

Have you ever felt the wonder of God in all things around you? In a perfect moment? In people and things? Is that magic a romanticization? I don't believe so.
And then again, is there anything wrong with cultivating a romantic personality?

So I'm wondering if anyone reading has ever felt a desire to treat others as if they were addressing God directly? And if so, how do you navigate life in the face of familiarity and ignorance?

I also recognize that when others lash out with their emotional disturbances, while God is in them, it does not mean I must endure the abuse. And the reminder that there is a layer of ignorance, where we mistake our identity with our personal desires and the like- that means there is a separation between God and personality. So that such displays of unsettling actions are not from Beloved God but from a personality drowning in Maya. Not a negative thing, we are all here in Maya to learn.
