Embodying

Zen Baptist Sunday Sermon: I regard myself as an embodying of the Cosmos. And you as well. When we use the word "God" as a name and sound to represent the Source of this continuous unfolding of the Cosmos, we are embodyings of God. This is no new news amongst many religions or spiritual paths. Jesus himself said "You are gods." Some of us act as if we are IPBs (Isolated Protoplasmic Blobs), dancing around and shaking our fists at It All. But that is just another embodying of the Cosmos, of God. Alan Watts said that we are nerve endings of God. Some of us have a lot of nerve. That's okay. I think Jesus in his time on earth loved them best. They were just entangled in their birth caul.
