The vision of Love at work in the
universe both humbles and exalts us.
In speaking of Love, we are reminded of Teresa of Àvila (and all the mystics) who knew that God's primary attribute is Love. In Entering the Castle, An Inner Path to God and Your Soul, Caroline Myss speaks of our partnership with God:
In speaking of Love, we are reminded of Teresa of Àvila (and all the mystics) who knew that God's primary attribute is Love. In Entering the Castle, An Inner Path to God and Your Soul, Caroline Myss speaks of our partnership with God:
As you pursue your sacred other, remind yourself that this journey does notrequire you to toss out your belongings and walk from the world you knowand all the people you love. Rather, your goal is to transcend the controlling influence that the false gods of the outside world–like stress, money, andpeer pressure–have on you and your relationship to God.
This Divine Love seeks union, it is
invitational, not exclusive. Divine Love seeks the restoration of the
universe. We discover that we need to be in communion with God in
order to participate in the mending of Creation. In the language of
Teresa of Àvila the beloved enters the Castle:
By entering your Castle, you no longer leave the world, but empower yourself within the world. You are learning to love heaven and Earth, God and self, to be one with the soul of humanity.
