Wisdom Saying
Out of this commitment, a certain flow of meaning begins. People gather around you, and a larger conversation begins to form. When you are in this state of surrender, this state of wonder, you exert an enormous attractiveness~not because you are special, but because people are attracted to authentic presence and to the unfolding of a future that is full of possibilities.
*Joseph Jaworski, Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership
Comments
The contemplative, who trusts Divine Synchronicity, or Divine Providence, lives and leads differently from most persons. She trusts the One is the Universal Presence of Intelligence. She experiences the Causative Principle as the Animating Wisdom in the fabric of existence~this Presence is Existence.
She discovers she participates, moment-by-moment, in forming the future of the cosmos. She knows she cannot create alone, for she in God is a part of all in God and God in all as Godself. She knows the future is not created for her alone. She accepts the common good is her sole good. So, she does not pray for any good for herself as an individual.
She learns that surrender in daily Pure Prayer, the Prayer of Silence, signifies surrender in all thoughts, intents, and actions to her God. Her devotion to God is not just a spiritual practice for her drawing her Beloved to herself. Such is means to and with the Word within and as cosmos, while this Word is other than all things~the Intimate Good and Creative Potency, a Loving Intelligence. In this Suchness inheres Possibility, perfection of possibility.
Christ is Pure Possibility, while being, at the same time, Creative Presence. For Christ is the simplicity of being and becoming, in One.
Being led by the Holy Spirit, the spiritual Christian seeks to think and act in agreement with principles of community and joint-creativity, not only with God, but with other creatures.

The very principles embodied in true religion are the principles of the universe, as a vibrant living presence, for being imbued and animated by the Word~for the being of the universe cannot be impersonal for being created by the Personal God. And Personalizing Potency personally inheres in every living thing as the Will of God, for the Word is eternally begotten of God. This Word begets all things in the overflowing Godhead.
This Will is substance and existence of all things. This Wording Word differs, however, in imparting of Potency based on capacity to receive of the creature. As the contemplative grows into God and God into her~both occurring necessarily simultaneous~Loving Capacity is imparted, and she becomes more attractive to others as a person to draw near to see the unfolding of the Christ Word in intimate union in community.
Wonderful creations can occur when persons gather in surrender and harmony of mind and heart to the Word. All the group has to do are two things: surrender together to the Word, participate together with the Potency. The Potency becomes an Intimate Word wording with and through the group.
The Potency imparts Itself, and in Itself is the potency of All-Potential. The creativity arises out of the communion of persons with persons and with God as Person.
Suggested Reflection
