Divination and Divine Gold
Now, here's some familiar words, divine, divine love, diviner, they must all come from the same root, mustn't they?
What is the connection between the diviner who divines water, or metal and divine love or the divine, what is the connection?
Well, here it is. Let's take a diviner, the diviner walks over the face of the earth, and whether you believe it or not, divines, psychically, where there is water in the earth, or metal. He or she has this psychic power of divination in that sense, of divining.
Then there's another diviner, which is called divination, and divination is the divining of the future. That is the seeing of the future, isn't it? And it also refers to the finding of secret knowledge. So you can see that in both cases, the physical diviner and the active divination are both connected, aren't they, although their applications are different.
And then we have the divine, and divine love.
Now I'm going to ask you now to divine yourself, and then you're going to understand what the word means. So here's the question – Do you have any love in you? Divine yourself.
Do you have any gratitude in you? Divine yourself, feel yourself. Feel it now.
Is there any gratitude in you for anything that you have ever received? Is there any gratitude in you to the Master? Is there any gratitude in you for this beautiful life? But you can't remember this gratitude. You've got to feel it now.
Is there any gratitude in you for the love that you have received all your life, the whole lot of it together? Can you feel that now? That is divining.
Now, when you feel the gratitude, the love for what you have received, you divine yourself and just like the water diviner or the metal diviner, let's take the metal diviner, you divine the divine gold. For I tell you that divine love is this divine gold, where I know within my being, I love. I have divined my own love.
That is the divine action of finding God. That is the ultimate action of divination. There is no need here, as the psychic needs to know the future, for I had divined the gold, the glory of being. Now I have found my own gratitude, my own love.
Is that fair enough? True?
