Mystery and Meaning
Ernest Holmes

There is a great difference between saying I am God and saying God is me. Ice is water. All ice is some water, but not all water is ice. So we might say of the life of humanity: All of our life is some of the life of God; some of the life of God is all of our life, but we are not all of the life of God. I am convinced that whatever my life is, it is God. There is no difference between my life and God in essence; the difference is in degree.

I believe that each one of us, in turning to the great inner life, is turning to God, and yet an individual is never God. Whoever penetrates this inner life will find it to be birthless, deathless, fearless, eternal, happy, perfect, and complete. Gradually, there dawns in one’s consciousness a sense that God is flowing into everything one is doing. As individuals, we must reeducate our minds and realize we have as an ally a presence, a law, in which the past, present, and future, and all people whom we call living and dead, live and move and have their being—forever unfolding.

What happens when a physician experiences an awakening in consciousness that shifts his perceptions from merely seeing the physical body of the patients he’s treating to observing the subtle, metaphysical energies swirling around a bustling emergency room—energies invisible to the naked eye? Rev. Dr. Todd Michael, award-winning, international author, knows firsthand.
