"Even if God never created the world, if not his would-Created with creating one."
(Meister Eckhart)
When we speak of the reality surrounding us speak, we often have a rather quiet, unchanging and static picture of us. We see day after day that life and the world around us is constantly changing. And that's good. Change is a hallmark of life.
also the spiritual - spiritual - human life is a journey between the two poles of hesychia (perfect peace, tranquility) and dynamis (force, energy). From the perfect stillness of the place of meditators him new strength grows for life. He centered on his physical and spiritual center, known by Asian traditions as Hara. In the German language area was also used by Christian orhtodoxen Monks used meditation practice, by which the monks could see the divine light, and unfortunately because of church politics and theological issues as "navel gazing" and smiled gently dismissed. The leg considers this form of recollection a great treasure of spiritual wealth can lead us to an immediately tangible kind of encounter with God.
Even in Protestant communities, as the Quakers was detected: there is an inner light of divinity within us that makes us experience the encounter with God in our hearts. What's on the spiritual plane in a direction (spirit - matter) does work, usually in the other (matter - spirit). It is well within the bounds of possibility, that the spiritual vision of the inner light also allows for visionary sight of the divine light on the physical level. Not for nothing eastern cultures speak of the "enlightenment" as the goal of human life.
course, it is clear that the light is not the same light. It means also the devil himself, he dressed as an angel of light. And in fact, it is also wise in spiritual matters to add itself something of a spiritual experience and common sense, helps us to distinguish the true from the false - otherwise we open the door and spiritual abuse Tor. Especially those gurus speak the loudest of love and peace ensured in the past repeatedly for negative headlines. But: The apple does not fall far from the tree. And that is just as Jesus says, "Not on their words but by their fruits ye shall know them." (Cf. Mt 7:15-20)
also for the spiritual life, what is our relation to the material life seems obvious: life is simply not a rigid construct, but dynamic and a very, very strong subject to change. Therefore, static harmony constructs only for a time with the primal power of the Holy that is inherent in every life. Our calendar is packed with with rigid schedules and plans, we will sooner or later come out of the gutter - and fall into the typical daily routine, which we then pushes you down. But we are planning a break and rest, we experience life much deeper, calmer and more relaxed.
way we experience what Eckhart says when he says: Created in-being and creation are one. We are not separate from God but the God of creation just at the moment is doing. Creation is also in their spiritual meaning not a one-and now once and for all completed event which in itself would be limited to the time of the creation of the universe, the world or of life, for the Do-Created is indeed getting ahead. And what is the preservation of creation other than the continuation of the act of Creation in the here and now?
