Conversations with The Divine

I am thinking a lot lately about my relationship with The Divine (aka God aka the Universe aka Allah or any of the other 100’s of names for our Creator). Notice how the name we use changes the energy and how we are relating to something that is really unnamable. This is an important piece of the relationship. We have to pick something that is meaningful to us that illicites a feeling, an image… a personal relationship. If we don’t engage in a personal relationship, what are we engaging with??? I use “The Divine” because it feels feminine and beautiful and magical and ethereal…. this is what helps me connect and I love connecting with this energy. I have a close friend who uses the term God and it feels powerful and masculine, protective and eternal. I love when I am taking to her about God, I get a strong sense of her personal relationship with God. This inspires me and I have a greater sense of God through her relationship… the same way we get a sense of our friend’s friends when they share stories and experience about them.

I invite you to think about your relationship with God aka The Divine aka Allah. What are the images, feelings and even artifacts that personalize this relationship? What would help you take it deeper and make it more personal to and for you? The deeper and more personal we go in this relationship we have access to information we otherwise wouldn’t have access.

I have found that in going deeper in my relationship with The Divine that I am transitioning into Partnership. Think about our human relationships that transition into partnership. In (healthy / strong) partnership we have someone that is on the journey with us…. that makes us stronger… that can hold up the mirror for us to see who we are…. provides feedback and encourages us to go further than we would have on our own.
