This was never an arrogant
or egotistical belief whereby I proclaimed myself greater
than others.
In fact, I used to clarify the statement by adding –
to anyone prepared to listen – that I could only truly
call myself ‘God’ if I recognised the fact that
everyone and everything else was God.
Needless to say, most people dismissed me
as a lunatic or the devil, so lately I have largely been
avoiding this kind of discussion.
But I did not stop thinking about it, and my personal opinion
(safer?) has evolved to ‘God is not in me. I am in
God.’
As such, I may be just a miniscule part
of God, but I am an essential, functioning and complete
part of God.
I have also concluded that all is not well
with God.
God is ill.
The question then is, am I a virus or an antibody?
Yesterday - I swear for the first time –
I was directed to this quote. Thank you Nicole.
| “A human being is
part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe’
—a part limited in time and space. He experiences
himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated
from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his
consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for
us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection
for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole
of nature in its beauty.” |

It seems that this Einstein chap was quite
a clever fellow.
