Dan,
"People can remain unchanged quite easily, if they fall prostrate to their knees in awe of worship.
If the person is truly seeking I would disagree with this, if one is falling down just to be falling or showing, then yes. I can not tell you that you are doing one or the other as you can not tell me I am or not."
Your distinction between someone who is truly seeking and someone who is not is an excellent one. I wish I had been wise enough to phrase it that way myself in my post. And you are right, I cannot tell you. If you have made the distinction you did above, then even from my perspective, you are right on track. Not that my opinion matters, if you are finding truth and standing in true judgement.
John 5:
19 Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does.
The created cannot be the creator. Your poem makes another point. God can carry us. Did you ever read a poem where you carried God because of His weakness?
No, of course not. But there is still a Son and a Father within me. The I of my ego, or false beliefs, is the Son, and the I AM is God. The father carries the son. The son denies the father. The son learns, and grows, and sheds all that is 'not' like the father, as in a butterfly shedding a chrysolis. The new self that emerges has BECOME the father, by putting away the garments of the son, and putting on those of the father. The Son carries the Father by becoming him, and in so doing, when he then carries himself, he is carrying the Father that he has become. This does not detract from the original Son and the original Father in any way, but glorifies and respects what they are. The Father is still God, the Son still a Lamb, who must be sacrificed, and rise again unto the Lord. What happened in the world, happens in us as well.
We may see different pictures, and different words, but from your last post, I suspect we may just see the same.
Peace,
Darrin
