Loneliness can induce purification

My friend Merel also has a line up to the spiritual world and heard on a good day, when she was musing about her life and her being alone so often: "Loneliness can lead to purification". Would You like to comment on this? 

That's what I like to do. 

She has been alone a lot during that period and that can be hard to come by, because man is not made to be alone. But her My God whispered to her this sentence and that was also a comfort to her.  

 

For how can man come to himself, to his heart, to God when there are crowds all day long and people and sounds outside distracting from what’s happening in the inner world?

How can the sound of silence, the gentle hints of the inner self, the inner-ish voice of God be perceived otherwise than in solitude?

Didn't you for the first time in the same way only hear me in a big moment of desolation? 

Man can find God in the other, but really accomplish the subtle communication with God only well in being alone.  This contact with God is one of the aspects of purification. The other aspects are subject for another blog. 

Merel is blessed. 

 

My blessings to you all

God, who comes to rest in man (W.H. Auden)

 I read a poem by W.H. Auden, "At Schrafft"'and this part struck me:

 

Having finished the Blue-plate Special

And reached the coffee stage,

…A somewhat shapeless figure

of indeterminate age

… our globular furore,

…Which of the seven heavens

Was responsible her smile

Wouldn’t be sure but attested

…That, whoever it was, a god

Worth kneeling-to for a while

Had tabernacled and rested

At the end of that blog (check blog label W.H. Auden) you said; 

God, Who comes to rest in man. This is worth a separate blog, My son.

You then responded to this poem by Auden, Would You like to comment on this now?  

That's what I like to do. Commenting the sentence “God who comes to rest in man”. 

 

God works on the evolution of planets, plant species, animal species and of the intelligent being, man, who becomes the crowning glory of creation. A being who finally consciously and passionately will kneel before God and then recognizes what God has accomplished.  

 

God who waits so many years for this moment, and labours, and tries, and gives, and hopes, and beckons, and bestows and loves and searches for man.  

 

And then there is that man, however void and unsightly, who kneels before God and focuses on God and recognizes God and only then lives in truth at that beautiful and scarce moment.  

 

And then God visits this man.

And God can then rest in a certain way in the sanctuary of man.

And God gets recognition of Its work and knows that it has been accomplished, and that is so together with man. Everything is so accomplished, everything that has been sought for has been achieved. For a moment there is the Kingdom of God on earth. For a moment, creation has come to its senses. For a moment, God can rest and enjoy. Yes in the temple of man, built by man, reached by man, desired by man, and visited by God.

That's where God can rest.  

My blessings to you all
