The Allness of God...

"I and my Father are one and ALL that the Father hath IS mine"

All -- all of thy presence, all of thy love, all of thy wisdom, all
of thy grace -- not just a tiny bit of it, all of it!

From the Art of Meditation: p. 21

"Any meditation that has within itself a single trace of a desire to
get something from God or to acquire something through God is no
longer meditation. Good is to be REALIZED, yes, but not to be
achieved: the infinity of good is already where I am; the kingdom of
God is within me. Locked up inside of our being is the presence and
power of God, the whole of the Godhead, just as perfume is locked up
in a flower. As the flower opens the perfume or the fragrance
escapes. Everyone has the allness of the Godhead locked up within
his own being--not just a part of it. God cannot be divided; God is
indivisible. God is infinite but God is indivisible. The allness of
God is in one tiny leaf--in every leaf: the allness of God is in
every individual on the face of the globe. Were this not true, there
would have been less of God on earth when the population was only 10
per cent of what it is today, and by the same token, there would be
twice as much of God on earth when the population is double. No,
there was just as much of God in the world a million years ago as
there will be a million years hence. THE INFINITE ALLNESS OF GOD IS
WHEREVER ONE INDIVIDUAL IS. That is why it is said that one Christ
Jesus can lead a million people into heaven, because one Christ Jesus
is the infinite individual Son of God and shows forth all that God
is. "Son, thou art ever with me and all that I have is thine" is not
addressed to a group but to an individual. God in Its infinite
allness, is embodied in the Son of God, in whom is our spiritual
identity. As we learn to turn within and let this imprisoned perfume
escape-this activity of the Christ, this beauty of God-then does it
come into visible being.

I once read somewhere that the original meaning of INDIVIDUAL
is "unable to be divided."
