One day sitting outside on my porch
I thought about God and my relationship to it, when I heard "I am closer than
you think".
My first reaction was : Of course you are...everyone knows that, but I heard nothing in reply. So I thought about what I heard. Closer than I think. What is closer than I think? What is closer than thinking? Closer than thought? Then it dawned on me: My very being...before thought!
I understood! Like a veil being lifted. I saw and knew the Truth. Thought is what keeps us from being One. In the silence of my mind I AM One...with God and All. It is the only "place" we can all be together as One.
That is why Jesus said before you were I am. Before you are anything...this or that...a mother, a father, a human being, an age, a title, your job and so on you were already. Because you are the I am of your being...being nothing in particular yet at the same time all that IS.
