Seeing, Singing and Dancing to God.... >>Agreed, you cannot think your way to God. But you set up the conditions for God to appear in your life by your investigating, feeling into, praying to God (even if you are coming from a place which still has its own doubts, uncertainties and confusions).>> I have experienced an broadening of awareness in what I "see". For example, where I use to not assign little or no meaning, I am opening up more and more to receiving thoughts, energies, notions that there isn't ONE thing that doensn't contain a connected thread of significant, representative meaning. I'm not talking about hyper-alertness where one is running in circles accounting for everything, just this general sense of a peaceful connectedness which flows. Writing in daily journals have been where most of the conjunctive representative work along this line gets done from day to day. I am growing to appreciate more and more the general awareness of these "threads" of thoughts which are like distinct voices which I am relating to more and more directly. I have come to realize that our creator will use anything and everything to communicate to each ONE of us. There isn't anything that isn't used. Phone numbers, addresses, times, dates, names, events, conversations, meetings, etc. etc. If we begin to open ourselves to understanding that everything is really supported, guided and organized from Him, by Him, for Him, with Him and in Him we will begin to "see" and "hear" things from a totally different perspective which is amazingly revelatory and full of fun and energy. Singing and harmonizing and dancing and playing with my kids are also great ways of expressing this connection to the Divine truth to our ONE soul. The Divine Soul is like a smile on a child. It radiates! Peace. Light! ONE - LOVE!! GO!!

I think this is a fork in the road. I understand that you do not see a fork at this point, since there is only god and all are in god whether they acknowledge it or not. "in god we live and move and have our being." My point was that Judeo Christian thought is different. While we are in god, and surrounded by evidence of god, we are unable to experience god without god's revelation to us. I.e., god is at the same time qualitatively different and distinct such that we do not apprehend god in a way that makes a difference. God must do that in us. That requires mediation of some kind.
