Sometimes, the old words still speak truth, even if we have to unpack them just a bit to receive the rich fullness of their meaning. Those words are universal and eternal and meant for the whole world to hear. They are not a religion or any rule of law. They are the truth of who we are - all of us.
The holy Spirit is God's spirit breathed in us and into our world. It is that same Spirit that filled to overflowing in Jesus. He said we also could become filled and awakened into our real lives as divine beings. He showed us the way to the Spirit, which is the light in enlightenment, and authentic life itself.
It is the love contained in the Spirit that saves us, heals, empowers, enlightens, and knits us to the divine. In the stillness - beyond words and thoughts - our own nascent spirit waits to be ignited by the pascal fire of the Spirit. Until that happens, we are not fully alive. We are sleeping.
It is the universal and eternal destiny of mankind to be lit by that Spirit. The church won't save us, nor any religion on the earth. Rather it is the Spirit, the Breath - the Pneuma - of the Divine creator of all that is - that saves us by awakening us to our real life of joy beyond measure, wisdom and love, and which is waiting for us.
We felt, saw and touched that divinity in Jesus. We still can as his Spirit is still with us. His love is, and always will be, unlike any other - just as God's love is unlike any other. Yet, there is only One Love, and only One God, so God's love in you is the same God's love in me. We are all united by God's love and made one with God in that substance of love that fills us all.
