God is our Self
Brother
David Steindl-Rast challenges my view on God. He makes a statement that God is
a direction. He is a direction to find oneself in God. He quotes Thomas Merton
by saying that we look for God insight of oneself and not outside of oneself. In
some way our self is God. That self is the image of God in us. If this is our
way of understanding God then we are able to experience God all the time. That all the time means, when we connect with
our self.
St.
Ignatius said that our deepest desires are the desires God has for us. Anything that points into our deepest experiences
is the experience of God.
I
am very happy I had teachers like St. Ignatius, Merton, Steindl-Rest, and many
others. I am gifted with teachers. Now, I need to learn how to practice what I know.
This is the best pilgrimage and journey I can make.
