STORY: Due to early training we learn to give God a body. Well, I have opened up to understand that God, Soul, Consciousness is the intangible,Innate Self within each of us. Yesterday I opened up my journal from 1989 when I was living on Point Dume in Malibu, CA. I’d like to share the conversation that I had with God that day: “Hello God. I know that you are not a man in a cloud above me. You are the invisible pattern of connectedness that I see all around me when I am conscious of you. Yes you are here. You are in the ocean waves sounding around me, You are in the strange rat-like smell of this dank morning. You are in the coffee cup. You are in the dog’s bark. You are within each cell of my body and I tingle when I declare to all my cells: “Be still and Know that I AM GOD”. I AM - is not a thing. I AM is not a cell or an atom. I AM is an essence, a verb, a wave, a connectedness, a Beingness. I call upon this glorious essence of life - my Spirit. Come into my life at this moment. Be with me today. Shine from my eyes to others. And reflect from other eyes to me. Let me see Thy glory all around me today. And I will sing and paint praises of Thy Presence everywhere I go.” There is an artist in each of us and it uses the material world (paint, clay, piano, drums,etc) to walk through the doorway to the Intangible, abstract, Essential, Innate Self.
