Response to a person who feels separated from the Divine

You know you're not separated, yet it's in our spiritual DNA to maintain a deep longing for a greater sense of Presence and relationship to the Divine.

I don't remember the analogy C.S. Lewis used, but he described that if a person is made to "need" something, that in itself proves that the needed object really does exist. For example, a sailboat proves that wind with which to power it exists. A bicycle is evidence that riders exist, and so on.


Our need for a sense of non-separation, indicates the existence of non-separation. Awareness of non-separation grows, not unlike a mustard seed that becomes something vast and undeniable.


A longing for a deeper relationship to the Divine, can also be a Source of comfort, as it indicates that additional spiritual growth is coming, and that the Divine Manifestation we are evolving toward, already knows us, even if we've yet to know It.
