We can find our Self in God whenever we choose to associate with God, to love God, to feel God’s Presence. Finding our Self in God is a lifelong work, because when we find
it, we have to maintain it. If we don’t maintain it, we have to
refind it, or refine our Selves till we refind God within our
Selves.
We find different aspects of God within our Selves as we
evolve. What aspect of God are you finding within your Self
today? What virtue, what God-quality, what divine essence
are you accessing today? When you find that, what are you
allowing it to do to refine you, to improve your life, to transmute aspects of your lesser nature and allow that divine nature to be fully expressed?
To find our mooring in God, to find our Presence in the
very aliveness of God is a sacred work that we are always
invited to participate in. We can only really find what is real
internally rather than externally. We may find keys to it, clues
to it, aspects of it in the external world, yet the depth of God’s
beingness, the height of it and the breadth of it we can only
really ascertain, know, feel, intuit and then realize from the
within out. We know this; the kingdom of God is within us.5
See Luke 17:20.
