To believe in a definite evolving relationship between the self and God one must be endowed with a least some of the attributes of personality.
Or as William Blake stated; “God becomes
as we are, so that we may be as He is.’’
The covenant known from the
bible and its symbolic meaning of union or coming together, is the actualized
relationship.
The meeting of opposites,
between the positive and eternal creative pole, versus the unstable and
receptive, negative pole.
Any metaphysical abstract
idea about the vast cosmic existence of a God and its whereabouts’ does not
help much in a practical mutual relationship.
The eastern philosophies
declare that the divine-cosmic Brahman is one with human atman and is the basis
for relationships.
The play of lights and
shades, creating a phenomenon of fragments, in the play of the cosmic dream and
absolute reality, versus a fleeting illusion of knowledge, that wants to be in
control.
The covenant is the
reflection of the living soul, upon the divine source and the mirror one faces
in relation to that.
Prometheus gift is that
voice and individual language as constant presence as the fire that adapt
itself creatively.
Shiva and Shakti or the
conscious power of action that control the horses of the egos instinctual
desires with its organic excitement for the power for ego-glorification.
The holy war therefore is a
covenant of death sustained by the illusion of I am itself descends in gold.
While the prophet, speaks of ‘the way’, for new qualities in the livingness to
love and its new qualities, to surrender.
It is in that going on
there is rhythm and balance where all extremes meet and divinity are real.
Contentment raises the soul above the strife for worthless things and beyond the limitation of human nature.
