Existence
“There is the one who reaches higher- uniting with all existence, with all creatures and all worlds. They sing a song with all of these.”
— The Song of Existence
An individual locates himself in himself.
Then he locates himself in the world that surrounds him, his society, community and nation.
The community locates itself in itself and then locates itself in all humankind.
Humankind at first locates itself in itself and then in the world.
The world locates itself in itself and then locates itself in all the worlds that surround them.
The whole universe locates itself in itself, and then locates itself in the elevated inclusiveness of all existence.
Existence locates itself in itself and then locates itself in the full treasure of the supernal light, in the multitudinousness of life and its oceanic source in the Divine Light.
And all these recognitions unite together and return to become one unit that in its entirety is great beyond measure. It is powerful, whole, complete and outstanding beyond limit and purpose.
And the flow of life flows forth, and holy light grows.
‘And we sing and dance-all our wellsprings are in You.’ (Psalms 87:7)
Notebook 8:46
