If you read any bible
from any old tradition
you will find there the saying,
No one can see God and live.
For the One seeing God is
but God seeing Self, writ large,
so Self seeing God is not
our ego self: that must wane.
Thus mindful, Meister Eckhart
did well say, the eye by which
God sees us, is the same eye
by which we (rightly) see God.
After him, Brother Lawrence
practiced presence of God by
living in the world as if
but he and God existed.
Living otherwise is sin,
as if everything were both
distinct: individual,
and discrete, separated.
But the old traditions teach
that our distinction is our
unique view, while our being’s
inseparable from God.
