God and everyone, guilt, separation, the self, surrender, spiritual relation, and life

***

It is something you belong to, or It belongs to you, somehow.

Everyone is God acting as someone. God does the doing. You do not ‘do’, you are done (i.e. you say you are ‘done’ when you are finished doing something, so you are finished when you are done by the doer.)

Guilt is a function of the separated self, and therefore only enhances that separation. Guilt says ‘I did this, not God’, and thus widens the division.

Have no conclusions.

Surrender in the doing.

Mix in, without dissolving.

It is all process. Everything is a spiritual event. Everything. What appears as a linear happening, no matter how regular or profane, is infused with the sublime, animating, dynamic of spiritual relation.

When you begin to learn the language of the universe, of God, the whole of life takes on a much greater, more intimate, more sublime meaning which can be recognized and participated with, but hardly understood.
