Divine Lovers Full Movie Online
Sheron Norsworthy
As to the First, methought I had some feeling in thePassion of Christ, but yet I desired more by the grace ofGod. Methought I would have been that time with MaryMagdalene, and with other that were Christ's lovers, andtherefore I desired a bodily sight wherein I might havemore knowledge of the bodily pains of our Saviour andof the compassion of our Lady and of all His true loversthat saw, that time, His pains. For I would be one ofthem and suffer with Him. Other sight nor shewing ofGod desired I never none, till the soul were dispartedfrom the body. The cause of this petition was thatafter the shewing I should have the more true mind inthe Passion of Christ.
And all His disciples and all His true lovers sufferedpains more than their own bodily dying. For I am sureby mine own feeling that the least of them loved Himso far above himself that it passeth all that I can say.
Our Lord God shewed that a deed shall be done,and Himself shall do it, and I shall do nothing butsin, and my sin shall not hinder[1] His Goodness working.[Pg 73]And I saw that the beholding of this is a heavenly joy ina fearing soul which evermore kindly by grace desirethGod's will. This deed shall be begun here, and it shallbe worshipful to God and plenteously profitable to Hislovers in earth; and ever as we come to Heaven weshall see it in marvellous joy, and it shall last thus inworking unto the last Day; and the worship and thebliss of it shall last in Heaven afore God and all HisHoly [ones] for ever.
But "Regard" (scope of true, continuing, divine Sight, Insight,All-comprehending sight) seems more likely to be the true rendering."Long and broad" go strangely with the word, but on p. 113 thelength and breadth of the garments is interpreted immediately after thecolour of the eyes, and is said to betoken that "He hath in Him, allHeavens, and all Joy and Bliss," and indeed these words but fill outthe idea of the more frequently used "high" to signify the "enclosing"of "endless heavens:" that Sphere of "fulness" which is infinite.With this passage may be compared one below, on p. 113: "TheMerciful Beholding of His loving Cheer fulfilled all earth and descendeddown with Adam into hell, ... and thus Mercy and Pitydwelleth with mankind unto the time we come up into Heaven." Theother, the Inward, the high Beholding or Regard it not said to "fill"Heaven, but to be "full of" endless Heavens. So elsewhere it is saidthat in our Sense-soul, the lower part of human nature, God dwells, butthat our Substance, the higher part, dwells in God. (The regard of Mercyand Pity is with the Sense-soul; the high Regard of Joy and Bliss is withthe Substance.) P. 132, chap. lv.: "I saw that our Substance is in God,and also I saw that in our Sense-soul God is." lvi. p. 135:" The worshipfulCity that our Lord Jesus sitteth in, it is our Sense-part, inwhich He is enclosed; and our Nature-Substance is beclosed in Jesus,with the blessed Soul of Christ sitting in rest in the Godhead."
And in our spiritual forthbringing He useth moretenderness of keeping, without any likeness: byas much as our soul is of more price in His sight. Hekindleth our understanding, He directeth our ways, Heeaseth our conscience, He comforteth our soul, Helighteneth our heart, and giveth us, in part, knowingand believing in His blissful Godhead, with graciousmind in His sweet Manhood and His blessed Passion,with reverent marvelling in His high, overpassing Goodness;and maketh us to love all that He loveth, for Hislove, and to be well-pleased with Him and all His works.And when we fall, hastily He raiseth us by His lovelycalling[1][2] and gracious touching. And when we be[Pg 153]thus strengthened by His sweet working, then we withall our will choose Him, by His sweet grace, to be Hisservants and His lovers lastingly without end.
And for help of this, full meekly our Lord shewed thepatience that He had in His Hard Passion; and also thejoying and the satisfying that He hath of that Passion,for love. And this He shewed in example that we shouldgladly and wisely bear our pains, for that is great pleasingto Him and endless profit to us. And the cause whywe are travailed with them is for lack in knowing[1] ofLove. Though the three Persons in the Trinity[2] be alleven[3] in Itself, the soul[4] took most understanding inLove; yea, and He willeth that in all things we have ourbeholding and our enjoying in Love. And of thisknowing are we most blind. For some of us believethat God is Almighty and may do all, and that He isAll-Wisdom and can do all; but that He is All-Love andwill do all, there we stop short.[5] And this not-knowingit is, that hindereth most God's lovers, as to my sight.
I pray Almyty God that this booke com not but to the handsof them that will be his faithfull lovers, and to those that willsubmitt them to the faith of holy Church, and obey the holesomunderstondying and teching of the men that be of vertuous life,sadde Age and sound lering: ffor this Revelation is heyDivinitye and hey wisdom, wherfore it may not dwelle withhim that is thrall to synne and to the Devill.
"The power of Christian Science and divine Love is omnipotent. It is indeed adequate to unclasp the hold and to destroy disease, sin, and death" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 412). This healing thought, like many others in the Christian Science textbook, is a continuing prayer. For more than half a century I have been the recipient of numerous blessings from embracing the teachings of divine Science.
I am convinced that a strong aid to healing in both of these instances was that I had no doubt the healing would come. I shall be ever grateful for the spiritual foundation based on the Bible given me in the Christian Science Sunday School, for the support of practitioners and teachers, for class instruction, and for church activity, all of which have aided in giving me a deeper understanding of God as infinite Spirit. Daily I pray to remember Christ Jesus' teachings: "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "Your joy no man taketh from you" (16:22); also that there is but one Mind, God, the divine Mind, and that man is the reflection of this Mind.

For centuries, philosophers and writers have tried to explore divine love but found that there are some feelings that just cannot be translated into words, especially when a person moves to higher degrees of divine love.
This divine love is also the foundation of love for other creatures in the universe because the deep and profound love for humans and other creatures would not be felt by someone who does not truly love God.
They seem a bit similar, but not the same. In terms of how we interpret these two words in advanced yoga practices, the difference is in where these two experiences originate. This is the key to understanding how we use them in the lessons, and how they relate to specific practices we are doing. There is also a tie-in with the inner divine romance we have been discussing recently, and also our steps along the path to enlightenment.
I fell in love with Rumi when I was 15. My parents introduced me to him, and lines of his poetry show up in daily conversation with them. Rumi had insights about life put much more eloquently than I could have expressed myself. I have devoted myself to studying this path of Radical Love for over 35 years now, and have the great joy to share these teachings with people in both academic and communal settings. I lead spiritually oriented tours to Turkey and Morocco through Illuminated Tours. I also teach online courses on Rumi and spirituality through Illuminated Courses and courses on Islam and Islamic spirituality at Duke University.
