In God's Math There Exists No Division
The word Holy doesn’t just translate in religious terms to sacred, although due to religious indoctrination many immediately interpret it this way. Holy means whole, one, complete, without separation. And yes, for those who do believe in a Creator, this includes the Creator and all of creation with no separation, and that all life is connected by and through the great love of the Creator. Science agrees that all life is connected within our ecosystem, yet attributes this to an evolutionary process. So, both spirituality and science agree that all life is connected. Science and spirituality also agree on another matter: that there are many things we simply do not know. Science agrees and confirms that the infinite universe and universes are too vast to ever fully measure. Spirituality agrees and confirms that the Creator is beyond human measurement.
I am not writing this to debate, but to remind those who claim spirituality, in whatever form it may be, to fill the lack, not within debates, but within the needs of human beings. All life is interconnected and each of us as human beings, no matter how much knowledge we gain, will leave this physical existence not knowing way more than we will ever know. Yet, when we claim to believe in the Creator, people expect us to make what we claim to believe visible in our actions. We must make the Creator visible to others, not in what we say we believe, but in how we live.
Most people are not disenchanted with the possibility of a Higher Power Who loves all people unconditionally and is willing to send miracles to those in need. Most people are disenchanted with religion—religiosity that has been used to commit separation, hate, and thus violence in all its forms, including genocides throughout the world.
Spirituality isn’t about believing in God and then going around trying to prove the God of your understanding exists. It’s about believing God/Creator so the teachings of love, hope, faith and compassion, that thread through all spiritual practices, flow through you. Spiritual practice is not about converting others, it’s about converting your own mind and heart from fear to love. Instead of sending prayers, love, and light from a distance, why not close the distance and fill the lack by meeting the needs of others? Why not be the prayer, love and light, by delivering food, clothes, comfort, medicines and blankets to those in need? Why not allow the Creator of your understanding to answer the prayers of others through you? Fill whatever is lacking within the lives of those around you with love and prayer in action, so that even if those you serve never claim to believe in God/Creator, they will always know, even if for just a moment, the power of love.
I love Creator. Not because of religion, but because when I was hurting deeply and in great need, the love of the Creator poured through others to fill me with goodness. They didn’t try to convert me. They saw me as an inseparable part of Creator and themselves. They reached out to me, not with religion, but with love. No stipulations, just a humaneness that awoke me to my humanity. After that moment, all I wanted was for others to have that same experience. The same experience of being filled with goodness, eliminating what was once a lack, and returning to a wholeness I had forgotten about until the moment when love reached out to me through other people.
We as humanity do not need love. We need to remember we are love. In the holy memory of what we are, which can be reclaimed in this holy instant, we remember that love created us exactly like Itself, and in love there is no lack, thus no need.
I cannot define love or God/Creator, but I know when something I am writing, speaking or doing is with love and God/Creator, because it fills me as I give it away. As love and God/Creator move through us to meet the needs of others, we are filled, because we will always receive what we give. God’s math is Love. And in God’s math there exists no division.
God's Math
I’m not a theologian, nor a mathematician
We know God through love, not religion
Love given is only addition
In God’s math there exists no division
