I totally agree. I grew up going to church every Sunday but my most precious memories of God's presence come from the real, everyday world. We just need to be aware, in the moment, and we will see his spirit all around us.

Tatvamasi means "You are that" meaning you have divine in you and so is everyone and everything in nature. Aham Brahmasmi - is you are the creator and you are capable of creation. <abbr><em>Dineshs last blog post..<a href="http://maduraiveeran.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/rasam-a-touille/" rel="nofollow">Rasam-a-Touille</a></abbr></em> It is the same as the ancient Hindu Vedanta philosophy – Tatvamasi and Aham Brahmasmi.

Thank you Jonathan. The other day I heard a lady say "I didn't realize God was all I needed until I realized he was all I had." I could relate. There's a line from Ragamuffin Gospel that is something like... "It's not definitive prove that God exists we seek, but the experience of his presence." My God is in the mud, she was there with me. I don't understand the Divine, I don't need to. I do "know" the loving spirit that guides me, provides for me, if and when I open myself to it. I can't deny it, I experience it everyday. I experience it through miracles happening in peoples lives. I see it in the homeless mans face standing on the street corner. I am him. I see it in the mother addicted to crack grasping for a reason to live. I am her. When I see these people open their hearts to the possibility of something more powerful then themselves, and they begin cultivating self-worth and purpose in life, I experience God, the Divine, something more powerful then myself. Call it law of attraction, the spirit of the universe, whatever, I don't care what it is or need to define it, I just open myself to the possibility of it and experience it. It works for me, but then I was desperate. <abbr><em>Jared Akerss last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SpiritualZen/~3/oD8URpf6voI/" rel="nofollow">If it’s uncomfortable, I should probably be doing it</a></abbr></em> Great post.

It's just a matter of developing the habit of staying present of the divinity around you. @ jdp: Sorry to hear that. I thought it was a good way to explain the difference, or moving to a new level. Maybe it was a little cheesy though. =) @ Clint: It definitely shifts your perspective immediately. It’s just a matter of developing the habit of staying present of the divinity around you.

I believe that when we interact with each other in loving kindness, we call divinity to us, through us. All acts of service, of kindness, of love, of compassion are where we find God. The world needs more Mother Theresas, and less preachers, teachers, and "masters". To truly connect with divinity, you must place yourself beneath others, not above them.No matter how you envision Him/Her/It, "God" is within you, as you are within It.

I do believe that the Divine is everywhere and in the subtleties not the extremes. The analogy that pops into my head is giving my kids their nightly baths. It can become tedious at times, yet it is really in these "chores", so to speak, that connection and bonding really occur. The same for Divinity. It is everywhere and often, in the most mundane.

There is no God. We have moved on (well, some of us have) and we don't need Fairy stories to explain the world, the stars in the sky and 'where we came from'. We have rational explanations derived from Science and Mathematics. So 'God' is in the minds of the infants, the ones that are scared and need a comforting bed-time story to make sense of it all. I, like many others, marvel at Nature and the Cosmos without having to have some mythical Magician make it all. Discuss?
