That giant would be God, Allah, Yahweh, Creator of the universe!
Awaken giant, awaken soul, awaken to the Spirit that is within all of us. ALL! Annamarie Schimmel said, “Once the journey to God is finished, the infinite journey in God begins.” On this side of our releasing our physical bodies, the journey is never finsihed and unfortuantely, it’s seldom seriously begun by most. The Buddha gets credit for putting it this way, “All things arise and pass away, but the awakend awake forever.” Jesus simply said, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” How do we relate to this challenges in our lives, or do we?
Is there anyone who would doubt that adversity is increasing as planet earth gets more and more inhabited and as a result smaller and smaller. What most of the major religions felt a hundred years ago was a peace about the inherent principles embraced by those individual religions because the smae mindset was in the neighbors.
No longer.
Our neighbors are today much different than we. But, on the other hand, our neighbors are the same as we. We are ALL children of God. We may speak a different language, have skin color that’s markedly different than others around us, but we all come from the same God- for there is but ONE GOD! Too often we let our religion get in the way of loving people. Too often we let the word God get in the way of being “Godly” .
We are truly a single community that doesn’t know how to live like one.
The only way we will find out is to go within: that’s where we must begin.
And when we come out from our visit within, we need to carry that same peace that we found there with us throughout the day. Since we all come from the same place and will end up back there together, why don’t we try and exercise a little more patience, tolerance, and love for one another while we’re here experiencing this thing called humanity. It really can be a good thing- if we’ll just let it.
Awaken giant within for this dwarf in the mirror isn’t getting the job done!
