Moving the world from within

What were a God who only gave the world a push from without, 

or let it spin around His finger? 

I look for a God who moves the world from within, 

who fosters nature in Himself, Himself in nature; 

so that naught of all that lives and moves and has its being in Him ever forgets His force or His spirit.
- JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

"Phoœmion"

This gorgeous quote 

points to 

the Unique Self,

as coined and articulated by Gafni

...In which the animating Eros of all-that-is 

the ecstatic evolutionary impulse 

 urgently seeks 

to live in you, as you, and through you

~ Unique Self ~

the unique individualized expression of essence that is
God/Source/Spirit

having a
You

experience

as above

so below

as 

within

so 

without

...

What were a God who only gave the world a push from without, or let it spin around His finger? I look for a God who moves the world from within, who fosters nature in Himself, Himself in nature; so that naught of all that lives and moves and has its being in Him ever forgets His force or His spirit.
