@SherPoint Bourgeault: “If we are fully present when we read such a narrative, we ourselves experience the liberating power of this awakening. It is both a realm in itself and the means by which this realm makes itself known." Rumi: "When you look for God, God is in the look in your eyes."

Bourgeault: “If we are fully present when we read such a narrative, we ourselves experience the liberating power of this awakening. It is both a realm in itself and the means by which this realm makes itself known." Rumi: "When you look for God, God is in the look in your eyes." Copy of tweet here: 1/ Perhaps the holy, open secret of God-experience is not its ineffability as much as its closeness. We imagine a divide to be crossed, a calculus to be applied, a somewhere to be found. But what if the primal immediacy of aliveness, of personal experience itself, is made of God?
@stephenrjmullan @lukeburgis 1/11 You’ve noticed! Yes, the Ayes have it. Some cultures hold that the light of the soul is filtered through our glance and, concomitantly, in depth, "souls connect at the meeting of the glance." Refining the directed glance, common practice in the world's transmission lineages.
