This new excitement in me all began when I was given a book, titled Jesus Wisdom written by, Cynthia Bourgeault. Her book talks about the part of Jesus that has never been tapped — not really — in the Western World. She parallels Jesus true character to the Old Testament wisdom Sophia.
In her book, Bourgeault introduced me to the relationship between faith and quantum physic’s and God. The theory is called “Planck’s Constant.” (pl.107) If you are interested in what “Planck’s Constant” is you are free to research it for yourself.
Then I bought a book she referenced, by Bruno Barnhart, who put into my brain something that I have known for a long time; but had not fully formulated or named: the “fourth.” The fourth that belongs to the Trinity of God. The human part of the circle in relationship to the three.
The fourth completes the circle to make a whole relationship.
Barnhart writes: “The trinitarian image opens to gather into itself the Fourth, which we are. In Jesus we are invited to enter into the communion of the Three. As we do so, we compete the quaternary. The New Testament speaks of our divination, and its revelation is both unitive and quaternary. These two aspects are inseparable; wholeness is one and four.” (p.149 Second Simplicity)
'Inseparable."
Then Barnhart used a term — in relation to the Fourth —that went bing-bong, ding-dong, knock-knock in my mind.
The term was “resonance”
“Resonance itself, imagined s participation in a field of energy…”(p.149)
Reading that little line sent my mind into a million directions.
Of course first I looked up the word resonance; which gave me all kinds of terms to look up and think about.
I’ll give you the second beginning to my thinking: A resonance — vibration — is seemingly silent communication going on in the air, in space.
Resonance, going on between our body workings.
Going on in nature.
Going on in electricity,
Going on in the sounds we hear,
Going on in the play of lights we see.
I called it the invisible miracle.
Truly a God Given Miracle for all who believe — or even who want to believe.
We have all been given a precious gift -- The Holy Spirit.
We know, about this gift, but somehow we can’t comprehend how it all works for us in this very physical and logically intellectual world.
However, now that I have been given a name for something I have had faith in for so long. The name is resonance, energy, a flow of silence waves that move about, and within us; that unless we stop and listen evades our cognitive mind.
More to come.
