Dear friends,
Meister Eckhart of the 11th century said “God is a great underground river that no one can dam up and no one can stop.” It is a lovely image which connotes movement and energy. Perhaps it is like molten lava out of which new worlds are built. The river of Spirit flows within our own Being to be directed by us as we tap into its resources and express them.
In other words, there is, as one example, a river of Love moving in us. If we would allow it, it would take us somewhere we have never been; perhaps into compassion and unconditional acceptance of difference. It might act as cause to how we care-take the planet. There is a river of supply, as well, to be used by us to facilitate our expression. We draw from the well of abundance when we have passion and a willingness to work to achieve our goals.
Meditation is a way to move into the river of possibility and to float in it. Done regularly, we develop a sense of being one with something that enlivens greater love and peace in us. Spiritual practice is never about getting things, it is always a way in to what is already ours by definition of our unity with Source. We discover the resources within and begin to reveal them in our daily activities. Life gets better because we have claimed our truer identity.
Sit still. Go down into the river. See what comes back with you.
Stay tuned in,
