| Posted 7/19/2008 1:20 PM (GMT -6) |   | The man who abides in the will of God wills nothing else than what God is, and what He wills. If he were ill he would not wish to be well. If he really abides in God's will, all pain is to him a joy, all complication, simple: yea, even the pains of hell would be a joy to him. He is free and gone out from himself, and from all that he receives, he must be free. If my eye is to discern colour, it must itself be free from all colour. The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye is one eye, and one sight, and one knowledge, and one love.
Meister Eckhart
The realm of "consciousness"...maybe? 
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
"Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them."
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God."

Stay tuned.

| Posted 7/19/2008 2:48 PM (GMT -6) | | Eckhart: The man who abides in the will of God wills nothing else than what God is, and what He wills.
Tom: Fine, SO LONG AS God is believed to will our free and self-determining personal distinction. THEN what would conformity to God’s will LOOK like? As Hart (critically) commented about Eckhart (I’ll try to find the passage), this reduces created distinctions to a mere (fractalization) of divinity.
Eckhart: If he were ill he would not wish to be well. If he really abides in God's will, all pain is to him a joy, all complication, simple: yea, even the pains of hell would be a joy to him. He is free and gone out from himself…
Tom: Ugh.
Eckhart: The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye is one eye, and one sight, and one knowledge, and one love.
Tom: Sigh.  Not an inspiring vision (to me). But if it inspires you, I’ll stop trying to rob you of it!
