We Make the Road by Walking
Week 26
Chapter 45
The Practice of ….Experiencing God from the inside ….
The Scripture…“As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us.” John 17:21
The Devotion….
The experience of God is a mystical, personal and corporate experience that theologians for centuries have been trying to define. Arguments over how to understand the doctrine ( root word for doctor) of the Trinity have divided and derailed good and faithful people across the ages. Truly, how does one understand the mystery of God the parent …who is understood as outside of ourselves….Jesus the holy one …who ate with sinners…. as the human God with skin on ….and the Holy Spirit …the very breath of God.
While there are many lenses through which we may gaze on this doctrine, one lens might be to see the experience of the Trinitarian God within, as a healing experience. God as holy, but not separate, because of Jesus who sat with the sinner …and the spirit that is the advocate… the glue of the relationship. This is the healing experience that says God is within and not other than ….this is the experience of God from the inside. When we come on to our mats we are inviting this in dwelling spirit to speak, to guide and to heal….it is a primary, healing practice of Yogadevotion.
