Let us reflect today on the awesome, infinite divine love in which we live, move and have our being every moment of our lives. Here we are all one and held in the abounding love that fills us with deep peace. Bridget Mary Meehan ARCWP, www.arcwp.org
James Finley writes: "So, taking Merton as my teacher, it was just very natural to me that I could see in these non-Christian contemplative traditions a kind of expansive enrichment of the path of non-dual consciousness, of the realization of the mystic way. I got the impression that when we seek what is truest in our own tradition, we discover we are one with those who seek what is truest in their tradition. There is a point of convergence where we meet each other and we recognize each other as seekers of awakening. . . .
And what is truest is that we are called to recognize, surrender to, and ultimately be identified with the mystery of God utterly beyond all concepts, all words, all designations whatsoever. . . . What's more, we are to realize that this boundless, birthless, deathless mystery of God is manifesting itself and giving itself to us completely in every breath and heartbeat. . . . If we could really experience all that we really are sitting here right now, just the way we are, we'd all experience God loving us into our chair, loving us into the present moment, breath by breath, heartbeat by heartbeat. And we would then bear witness to that realization by the way we treat ourselves, the way we treat others, the way we treat all living things. This is the way, this is the great way. . . ." [1]
