Ruminating with Rumi
To say that God loves you invites a separation where there is none. Who are you? You are that which I AM. There is no other. To live in a world where God loves you is to be out of balance with the whole of the all. You fell into the brambles along the way. You see God as not you. You see separation. Your eyes are blind. You are sleepwalking in darkness. For eons your form flew as particles about the universe. Now they are gathered in form. You are lost in form. You see limits. The infinite confuses you. You suckle spacetime from the breast of the eternal without feeling full. You feel small and unable to take in the whole of the all. You remain hungry, wanting more without knowing. In darkness there is an ember, the glow of wisdom waiting to burst into flame when you fan it. But you are lost and do not see. You settle for God loving you when there is neither God nor you, only I AM. There is no other.
Your form is weighed down by Marley’s chains. Forged by attachments and clutched in fear, you drag the chains across existence from birth to death. Do not confine yourself to the world of form. Form brings fear of oblivion. Your form was once the dust of existence. Eons of emptiness once filled your days of nothingness. Your form was scattered to the four corners of spacetime. Now you fear return because you think you are your body. The dust, the form, the fear are all illusions. They are thoughts of separation in consciousness. To hold to illusion is much too small a place to live. Enter the room within. Receive fulfillment from the mother. Light the flame of wisdom. Live beyond the body and its existence. You are the whole of the all. There is no other.
