CREATION AND THE SOUL’S JOURNEY:

What might be the most sublime and powerful moment ever to occur in all of creation?

The first spark of the soul igniting into the infinite field of God’s creation, from the first and finest particle to the most densely manifested worldly existence that quickly becomes our perceived reality—one that can overwhelm and obscure the memory and experience of the underlying essence that gives rise to, permeates, and sustains our very existence.

Yet, it is through the first emerging moments of the creation that the underlying un-manifest essence, which precedes even the first seeds of creation and in and of itself, has no expressed value, can then be expressed, known, and appreciated.

As the cycle of creation continues to unfold, I believe a soul’s journey is always in pursuit of the memory, but most importantly, the experience of it’s unbounded, infinite connection to the true eternal source of its own existence and that of all creation.

Even if only through the fleeting moments of perfect stillness, the soul may briefly quench its thirst and emerge with the sweet memory and experience it has long pursued. And over time, the illusion of separateness may ultimately fade as the soul’s journey, at long last, finds fulfillment.
