All things emerge - luminous and newborn - out of the vast space of God's loving awareness.


Meditation practice offers us the realization that each object of experience emerges - magically, almost - from within the vast space of awareness.  It's as though the meditator embodies the vastness of a divine mind which is Love, and then watches spellbound as each thing arises - luminous and newborn - as an expression of that vastness, spontaneous and full of surprise.  All things emerge out of divine love, yes - but that love is a blissful state of awareness in which God eternally loses himself, a self-forgetting that nevertheless is the magical source of each and every being!
