MY DEEPEST ME
My recent post's emphasis on trustworthiness prompted me to reflect upon the insights I received in the past couple years. The most profound insight remains the recognition that God and I are already one, that spiritual transformation isn't about accomplishing that, but awakening to it. As I reflected on it further, another extrapolation of its importance presented itself.
In addition to my original question carrying an implicit assumption of separation, it also assumes such questions matter. In other words, the reason the question was asked in the first place was to determine who facilitates change. The assumption of separation precedes it, but it's interesting how egotism emerges immediately in its wake. The question hinges upon whether I'm worthy of being recognized as an equal to or co-creator with God.
I've come to believe such thinking is completely irrelevant and spiritually stunting. In the end, transformation isn't something to boast about. It's something to stand in, to embody, and this leaves no room for weighing or measuring. It's simply about being your true self and realizing that this was always both the means and the end. There will be no time, no need, and no desire for pride or self-congratulations. There will only be time and need and desire to be who you have become. For, as St. Catherine of Genoa cried out in the streets: My deepest me is God! Within that fullness, there's no room for anything else.
