THE GOD-SEARCH
When one finds God for oneself, one finds clarity; one's life rights itself. Understanding ensues. Love issues forth, when one finds God for oneself, by oneself, in oneself.
The search must begin with self; then it must sweep broadly away, fervently everywhere, ending again with oneself. Self is the center of the God-search, for oneself is an embodiment of God, as is all else.
Therefore the God-search is both internal and external, new and old , near and far, written and unwritten .
Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door will be opened. God is.
God-searches must be individually particular. Mine is not yours, nor yours mine. Each one of us entered this plane from someplace else, at unique times and in unique places.
These integral, individual time and place facts distinguish us from one another, yet bind us to one another.
For we are all here, now, wherever we must later have to go; for surely we shall all go, as we have all come consciously empty, but intrinsically completely equipped to do as God has ordained, ordered us to do by virtue of our births: to find ourself.
I found God for myself in 1985, when, after a life-long search into black history, I entered a realm of total blackness. It was then in that nameless, placeless realm of night that I saw the light: Conceived God, perceived God as darkness and lightness ; infinite and infinitesimal.
Amen.
