Being With Being-Itself: The Immanence Of The Divine
With Mark GladmanPart of what we know about God is that God is unknowable. And yet we can have a connection to God; and God has a connection to us. God can be experienced; can be seen, heard, felt. We can not only know God, but through stilling ourselves and entering into a place of awakening in which we are fully mindful and available, we can commune - that is simply to be with God; and that God desires to commune with us. This "being with Being-itself" is at the heart of the spiritual life. In this course, you will go deeper into what the Immanence of the Divine means for us, and how this immanence opens us up to the greater expanse of who God is and who you are within the Divine.
Learning to commune with the Divine as the Divine communes with us.
