Divine Definitions: (1) The Creator and Supreme being; (2) The pre-personal, personal, and super-personal aspects of God; (3) Characterized by the quality of unity—actual or potential—on all levels of reality: existential and actualizing; (4) Integrated in and through all reality; (5) Absolute perfection

Comment: Deity, the person of God, is the human goal. The embodiment of value/virtue within our minds, hearts and soul (the very fabric of our being) is the route to moving in His direction.

Divine

Human Definitions: (1) excellent in the highest degree; extraordinary; superb; supremely good; heavenly; (2) relating to or proceeding directly from God; heavenly-minded

Metaphor: Weaving includes both the warp and the woof (weft). The vertical is the warp. It is what gives the fabric its initial strength. The woof (weft) are the horizontal threads. If we think of the final cloth as an intertwining of the divine (warp) in partnership with the human (woof), we are shaping a unique and interactive positive life.
       Reducing God to an exclusive Absolute separates the Divine Person to an infinite distance. Evaluating God as an inclusive Absolute allows for the most intimate and best friendship.

Quotes:
• Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known. —  Blaise Pascal (1623–1662) French polymath [five disciplines]
• The greatest error of a man is to think that he is weak by nature, evil by nature. Every man is divine and strong in his real nature. What are weak and evil are his habits, his desires and thoughts, but not himself. — Ramana Maharshi [born Venkataraman Iyer] (1879-1950) Indian Hindu sage
     Note: Each human is made up of a body, a mind, a personality (with freewill), a soul, and a Spirit. All of which are created by, or come from, the Divine.

Prayers:
• Divine Wisdom, reveal Your great good.
• Divine Silliness, grant me the spirit to understand things in the light of humor.
• Divine Clarity, open my mind to Your pure view.
     Note: The word ‘divine’ can be put in front of any of the qualities (or combination of qualities), depending upon which divine aspects you are striving for, and wish to invoke.

Symbol: the meteorite [any object falling from heaven is considered a sacred symbol]
