In the dawn of Eastern, may this message resonate with a melody of hope for a future shaped by harmony and wholeness.
Part One: God Is Within All
The essence of the Divine fills every aspect of existence, extending beyond human understanding. I see this force not only in humanity but in the entirety of nature.
From the tiniest of spiders to the very shadows they cast and the chorus of frogs after the rain, people often resist acknowledging this force. They resist because it challenges the human-focused view of a deity.
Experience, rather than simple acknowledgment, is necessary to comprehend this all-encompassing presence. Though for ease of conversation we may assign a gender to the Divine, such human labels don’t truly fit its multifaceted, boundless nature.
Despite the vastness that defines the Divine, It maintains an intimate connection with every individual. I think of it as a spark within all of us—what some might call the soul—a piece eternal and indestructible.
This aspect of our existence derives from the same source of energy that weaves through every part of the cosmos.
This internal aspect isn’t just a passive presence; its nature is to create as it was created—a reflection of the limitless creative flow from the source of all existence.
The theological concept I’m referring to is, for many, the realization of the Divine within, a cornerstone of faith that finds reflections in numerous scriptures and teachings around the world.
One such example is when Jesus proclaimed that the Kingdom of God isn’t a realm to be observed with physical signs or found in a particular location. Rather, it is a state of being present in the here and now—an inner kingdom, so to speak.
In the Gospel according to Luke, Jesus tells us not to search outwardly for this kingdom. He says that it resides “among you” (Luke 17:21 KJV), or “within you” as some translations propose. This highlights a personal and internal experience of the Divine.
In prayer or contemplation, some seek a deeper understanding or a closer relationship to this presence, often described as the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of God.
They believe it to be the source of peace, comfort, and the eternal promise revealed within. This inward, personal connection contrasts with the anticipated physical manifestations of God’s kingdom, such as miraculous signs or political power.
It calls for a heartfelt seeking of righteousness, love, and unity with the Divine—a comfort to many faithful individuals throughout the ages.
Now, let’s delve a little deeper and change our viewpoint towards Seth’s teachings.
Part Two: Unveiling the Dream Weavers
Seth offers a different perspective on the Divine within. He speaks of us not just as beings containing a spark of the Divine, but as co-creators alongside this creative force.
Imagine the Divine as a vast, multi-layered dream state, overflowing with possibilities. Now we see a glimpse of All-That-Is, the name Seth uses for God.
We, as conscious beings, are like dream characters within this dreamscape, gifted with the ability to shape our own experiences.
You’re not just receiving things; you’re actively playing a part in the ongoing story of creation.
Seth calls this creative ability our “psi” faculty, a non-physical energy that allows us to form the dream around us. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions all play a part in shaping the way our reality looks..
This aligns beautifully with the idea that the Divine is not just an external force, but an intimate presence actively involved in our lives.
Think of the spiders. In the Sethian view, they’re not just “machines” driven by instinct. They too, on their own level, are participating in the creative dream. Their complex webs, the product of their unique “psi” signature, become part of the grand design.
When we see the world through the eyes of Seth, something inside us resonates. We feel responsible for our experiences, recognizing that we have the ability to shape our own realities in the expansive landscape of the Divine dream.
Aligning ourselves with the creative flow, deciding which of them we want to include in our lives. That’s what it’s all about.
So, the next time you witness frogs after a summer rain, remember – you’re not just observers in this grand creation. You are co-creators, using the creative powers of your consciousness as a part of All-That-Is.
