If one would know God, he must penetrate deeply into his own nature, for here alone can he find Him. If he would reveal God to his fellowmen, he must do so by living such a God-like life, that the Divine Essence flows through him to others. The only way to know God is to be like Him; and while this may seem discouraging in our present state of evolution, we should remember that we have but started on an eternal ladder which ever spirals upward.
The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes 443.4
What I find so fascinating about this is that the emphasis is not on being perfect, it is on being. It is not about being right, it is about doing right things, right actions–like showing kindness and compassion, patience and understanding. It is about being generous and well-meaning, then extending the benefit of doubt.
So I am thinking that to invoke Spirit one need only show kindness.
Kindness.
Could it be that simple?
It is not this Herculean task/effort that requires one to conjure lightning bolts from the sky–albeit the outcome may be as poignant. Rather it is as near to us as breath, as joyous as the laughter of a child, as heart-filled as if it came from Spirit itself.
I suspect too, that this holds the key to why I believe all people are inherently good. Because each one of us has within the ability to show kindness and therefore demonstrate our God-like life. Which is how the Divine may be everywhere present–for wherever people are there is an expression of Spirit who is inherently able to invoke God by just the simplest act of being kind.
And so it is.
