MORE ABOUT THE INTERFACE

The Divine Interface with the external world, the linear world of time and space, requires clear, understandable and honest words from the internal Child-heart of us to the external Child-heart of us! This interface is the “rest of the transaction” and constitutes a great portion of what is meant by “Give to God that which is God's,” a major part of the Equation of Life. The Equation, remember, is the Child's way to live in this apparent world, and is something that metaphysics hasn't had much to say about, concerned as it is with the way to think.

I know a lady who has seen much Light, but has withdrawn from the world into metaphysical or mystical seclusion. She is terribly depressed, wondering what has happened to the Truth that meant so much to her in earlier years. She has struggled for the Truth so earnestly. The lady's friends have tried to prevail on her to tell others of her insights, but she is deeply engrossed in a listening attitude, searching the heart of herself for new ideas and more light—nothing comes as it did before and she wonders why.

The glimpses the lady has been blessed to receive stop right at the edge of tangibility and go no further. Her Light is ready to break out onto the tangible world scene like an electric idea, but her silence is deadening. Now she wonders why her experience is going as it is, filled with anxiety, stress and depression. She writes to me, “How can this be? Is this justice? I have devoted my entire life to the study of Truth, and for all appearance and feelings in me, it is as if the Truth were dead.”

Our transaction in the tangible world isn't finished until we have given our Glimpses to the subjective world in our hands. These Glimpses are the “talent” that must not be left buried but put to work in the world of images upon images, “lest the little we have is taken from us.” This is a large part of the simple and wonderful Equation. What was the parable of the talents if not a statement that the Light is to be put to work in the world?

WE PASS THE LIGHT ALONG WITH OUR WORDS

Certainly it is marvelous to sit back and bask in the Light; often it seems an interruption to complete the transaction by taking the time to tell of it to an acquaintance or a new friend.

Furthermore, articulating the Truth isn't always easy. We quickly learn that even the best statement is not the Truth itself. But listen: words are our primary interface with “people.” This is why our spiritual development isn't finished in “time” until we pass along the Light that has already come to us—which is to tell others of our own hard-earned insights in honest, simple terms. Isn't this what was originally meant by “taking the gospel to all the world”?

If we are to see our world come to perceive the Truth, we commence jotting our insights onto the backs of envelopes until we are able to put them into a simple, helpful comment that can be understood by others. We are not finished with the bits and glimmers of Light until we've done this. We “tell,” clearly and simply—even if with no more than a clap of the hands in gladness or a smile to a stranger. Then we are able to “look out” and see the response in the external world, and the world is blessed. That response is often the very demonstration of God's love the seeker is looking for.
