On Divine Joy

It is from our formed interaction with our environment, that our existential experience is derived. Such interaction and consequential experience is interpreted as our perceived reality. Wherefrom such experience is to be understood relative to self, we evaluate such experience in terms of past experience, preconceived expectations, concepts, beliefs, attitudes, wants, and desires. From such evaluation, our experience becomes valenced. That is, we determine if an experience is positive, negative, liked, disliked, wanted, unwanted, warranted, unwarranted, etc. How is it that we have the breadth and depth of insight, oversight, hindsight, and foresight sufficient to make such determinations? In most cases, we have yet to develop such a piercing eye and sight. We do however, determine for ourselves, from an immediate experience, whether we are experiencing joy or otherwise.

Wherefrom we derive joy in our interaction with our environment to include others, we will always have valenced experience. Wherein we derive joy from God, in God, and with God, we will experience such joy within thereby supplanting the normalized and habitual interpretation and evaluation we have thus relied upon to determine the degree of joy to be experienced. Insofar as God is our Joy, we remain steadfast and victorious against our primary nemesis, self. We should strive to replace experiential joy with the highest form, Divine Joy. This does not preclude our enjoyment of life; rather, in our experience of it, we will be experiencing God in all things as Joy. Hence, it is with and in God's presence with all things that we derive Divine Joy. Further, in Divine Joy, we shall experience in all things and among everything, God's omnipresence.

If asked, does not then the experience of such Divine Joy promote positive valance, a human psychological affinity? I would respond in kind, in the psychological sense, it would and it does. However, as Divine Joy is without specific context in the phenomenological world, its experience is not derived by our interpretations of the world; rather, such joy is derived from our experience of the world in God. Therefore, in all things and all experiences, we are with Divine Joy. Those moments wherein we would likely experience phenomenological duress are a test. To fail such tests and experience duress would reveal a reliance on the mind and our psyche to evaluate our world. To pass is to experience the blessing of Joy as a Divine gift, to realize God's omnipresence rather than to know it. In such realization, we find our Self, the Divine Condition, rather than self, the human condition. Anáma-Rúpam. Ω

Convocation: I dedicate all that I am as reflected in this website to Self-realization, transformation, the spirit, divining the spirit, spirituality, self awareness, enlightenment, Self-realization in the Divine, and the embodiment of the Divine in and through Self. Through our efforts in developing self awareness, may we achieve self-realization. In such realization, may we further embody the Divine as Self and lose self as ego. Dedication: I dedicate all that I am and this website to those before me and those inspiring me to love all creation as I love them. It is my hope that some content provided herein fosters a means to reflect upon yourself, your conditioning, your predisposition, and your mind in hopes that awareness you create prompts self-realization embodied as spiritual enlightenment in the Divine and the I of God. In that, I hope you experience spiritual transformation from self to Self; from the human condition to the Divine Condition.
