Good Morning Lovers and Seekers of the Mystery of God!
In Genesis 28: 16-17, we have the story of Jacob’s awakening to the presence of God in his life.
“When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought,
‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.’
He was afraid and said, ‘How awesome is this place!
This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.'”
How is this a story in your life? What about your moments of awakening? More than a few of you have told me of your experiences of grace, moments of breakthrough, moments in what is called the “thin places” where there is the unitive ineffable experience of the divine indwelling ourselves and all life. Might we be learning that the gate of heaven is everywhere?
That as Paul says, “we live and move and have our being in God.”
What we have so longed for over the years has always been there awaiting our recognition – our awakening. I found this new piece of music mentioned in Integral Christianity: The Spirit’s Call to Evolve
I invite you to listen to this music for your time of morning prayer and reflection. Let the music flow through you – opening inner spaces, awakening something deep within you.
“The day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw and knew I saw all things in God and God in all things.”
-Mechthild of Magdeburg
With you in awakening to who we are in God and to who God is in us.
