- The
Self-Divine
(The short description
below is from the Concepts section in "Practice")
As far as I know,
the term self-divine is unique to my convoluted vocabulary,
and it refers to the notion that we ourselves are divine. How did I come
to this
conclusion? Well, all things are connected by the Greater Divine, the
Spirit,
the force that binds...so it is a part of all things, including ourselves.
Also, I see
the human spirit or soul as something that has several parts. There is
our
waking self, who is in command most of the time--the mundane, everyday
self.
There is our subconscious, who is always talking just below our mundane
self.
And then, the divine self, that which is most intricately connected to
the Greater
Divine. I think the subconscious acts as a go-between, whispering in our
dreams
the knowledge of the self-divine.
It's actually really simple. The Divine is present in all things,
including us. Consider it the Universal Server...we're all connected...some
of us are on DSL, some are connecting still at 14.4...but it's there.
A really with-it Ground Control for some.
Now, some may consider
this belief more Shamanistic in nature...and perhaps it is...but the Shamans
of North America came from the people who crossed the Ice Bridge, the
Oceans, and beyond...we're all one people, just different visions. One
concept, many names, many faces. It's not a new concept. Words just get
in the way for some.
