The Great Divide

Blog 623 – 05.05.2017

If you happen to be a follower of this blog, first of all thank you, but you may have noticed that some themes are recurring. Well, it is true, though I try to make every blog fresh and new I am aware that I repeat myself quite often and like all who aspire to be good speakers, singers, writers or teachers there is a reason for that – some themes and some lessons are dearer to us than others either because they were hard and long learned or just perhaps because we were so joyous when that particular truth first dawned on us that we feel compelled to share it over and over again.

The idea of “the myth of separation” popularly known as The Great Divide is to me one of those great themes or lessons. I try every way I can, from every angle that I can to expose this great lie. The great Atonement precludes separation and division. I know you think I am using funny math here but sometimes the accepted logic or mathematics just does not apply. And I won’t pretend to you that I have much of a clue what the genius Albert Einstein was postulating with his Theory of Relativity.” I am not all that sure that I really have all that great a handle on what “postulate” means. But I do know that we are all related to the One, the Father and Mother of us all and trying to deny that may reveal us to be mixed up and perhaps misinformed children but it does not change who and whose we are to God and to each other.

We have a place in this great Oneness and it is a place so important that no one else can hold or ever fill that place but you, me, us – each one and all of us. Someone used the macho expression lately, “There’s a new sheriff in town.” Well, the true fact is that there is and has only ever been One Sheriff and His/Her word alone is law – and that word is Love, that word is Light, that word is One. And in this context they all mean the same thing. They/we all are the same. This Great Divide comes from a big misunderstanding. You see the first man and woman mistakenly believed that they were separate or could be separate from each other or the God, the Universe that made them. Joining them in this illusion, I believe, was their own self created ego. Flip Wilson, a nineteen seventies black comedian, used to say, “The Devil made me do it.” It would, I think, be more honest to say of our first earthly parents and ourselves that ego made us do it which really means we chose to believe that we could do our own thing, that we could be separated, cut ourselves out of God’s heart. To quote a song that comes to mind, “Never gonna do it, never gonna do it, never gonna do it.” And another, “Come together, right now, over me.” And some think God had not said a word since the New Testament cannon was formalized in the Second Council of Trullian in 692 A.D. God/He/She not only listens but still speaks. But are we listening?
