Thanks for the reminder / insight. Your words ring so true, both with regards to who / what divinity is and what it is not.

In particular, I liked the paragraph about how simply mentioning the term "god" evokes 2 extreme reactions from either god-believers or god-rejecters. And neither of them will take the time to consider what you are actually talking about, and what the term actually means.

As a point of interest, the great "theologian" Paul Tillich realized that god was not "a being" or "an entity" that existed way out there somewhere in some spiritual realm. According to him, god was nothing other than "the ground of being." And since we are alive, since we are being, we are essentially divine beings. But such ideas are not even understood by most seminarians or preachers, and such ideas are hardly ever passed on to the congregations in any church.

As for christ being our heart, that is simply another truth that most people are not ready for and can never accept. For them, it's easier to believe a (profoundly meaningful, but mythical and distorted) story of someone who lived long ago and who was supposedly perfect.

Ironically, the easiest thing to know / believe is the truth that we are divine. Unfortunately, it's also easy to forget.

Namaste.
