Be doers of the word, and not hearers only - (Js 1:22)
I make my life a living prayer
One type of dualism holds that heaven and earth are separate realms. But God is Oneness. He cannot be divided along any lines. For us His kingdom includes spirit, mind, feelings, body and affairs. The Master's affirmation "Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven" means that we express God in All aspects of our being.
Yes, we need to release God from our spiritual core into our minds and hearts. But our purpose is not complete until we release Him too into our physical bodies and material affairs. The tree is known by its fruits - of which others may partake. Our inner life is revealed to others by our visible appearance and the things we say and do. We share ourselves physically and materially with others.
Contemplation of God can become a trap which prevents your fulfilment. Make of your life a living prayer, which demonstrates here and now - in this time and in this world.
