“The Riches Within”
Your Seven Secret Treasures.

Divinity: Your Spiritual Treasure
“What is god, what is not god, what is between man
and god, who shall say?”
                                                 — Euripides

Dear Friends,

Imagine the soul as an everlasting, infinite vibration stretching endlessly. Envision it reaching out to the infinity of divinity and coming back to touch the “fininity” of humanity through the workings of its extended and intelligent mind. Envision the soul as the interim between these two—the junction point between unity and individuality, between the divine and the human, between the infinite and the finite.

Most of the great spiritual traditions teach this underlying idea that the soul connects our mortal selves with the immortal divine. Regardless of the particular belief, religion, or practice, this fundamental understanding proves similar. I once heard this idea described as a candle in a multicolored lantern, and although each of us may peer at the light through a different-hued pane of glass, we’re all seeing the same flame.

When you look deeply and delve into the secret treasures inside your heart where love lives, it’s possible to realize that everything is worthy of love, and ultimately, everything is an expression of spirituality. Why limit our spirituality only to our luminous, expansive essence? Sometimes I hear people say, “He’s not spiritual” about someone else, or they proudly announce about themselves: “I’m a spiritual person.” Let me confront you with something here: Who isn’t spiritual? Even if you don’t identify yourself with organized religion or any particular practice, I’d maintain that you’re still a spiritual person with spiritual pursuits. Where is spirituality not? Where is love not?

Many theologians have written about the omnipresence of divinity and/or spirituality and that you can find it, for example, in a blade of grass or at a supermarket just as readily as in a mosque, temple, or church. In his book Out of My Later Years, Albert Einstein wrote: “If this Being [God] is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human thought, and every human feeling and aspiration is also His work.” In other words, if we’re going to acknowledge that there’s a “Grand Organized Design” (GOD) in this universe—and Einstein did—then it follows that everything we do, think, feel, and aspire to all exist as part of that design.

When I began studying morals and ethics, I discovered something fascinating: Whatever you believe, you can find an opposite set of beliefs somewhere in the world. Whatever you stand for, someone else stands against it. What’s so great about that? You might think about it like arm wrestling: As two people pit their strengths against one another, each grows from it. When you realize that other people have their own values and spiritual ideals and that this actually helps you strengthen your own, you might find yourself more able to honor and embrace those who believe something different from you.

Once when I was in El Salvador, I saw a parade of people dressed in white, blue, and other bright colors. They were dancing, playing music, and celebrating at a fever pitch. What was the occasion? It was a funeral, but they weren’t mourning—they were rejoicing the passing of a mortal body into a spiritual domain. What a completely different view of things than we experience most places in the United States! And I think there’s something to be learned from that—and from every chance we have to look at the light through a new color.

Love and Wisdom
