Divine Creativity


Every soul is a medium of divine creativity. Nobody is independently the source of the magic. Only God is. So when somebody is presenting that magic of God, where is the reason for entertaining any envy, the experience of displeasure at the good of someone else? The individual is only a channel. God is the one who's doing it, empowering the person to do something wonderful. In fact we all share in the same fortune! Just like in an orchestra we all have our designated instruments, playing under the direction of the conductor (God). Naturally it entails that at times you have to keep quiet. But the tendency of the ego-self is to constantly shout out, "I want to play! I want to play! ME!" bypassing the fact that the sum is greater than the parts. I need to allow her to play the cello, sometimes he has to play the violin, and sure enough in time I will be called to play my flute. Then silence can become dynamic, as I'm reassured and see the bigger picture. I rest in that silence comfortably cherishing the magical beauty that is coming to live all around me, perceiving God coming through so many channels. I become overcome with joy and exhilaration, understanding that it is truly a gift to be an integrated part of the whole, to be allowed to experience the magic and wonder that is happening. Something I could never have dreamt of or realized on my own.
