Union with God – Christine Valters Paintner

“For John of the Cross, the spiritual life is not about getting closer to God. Instead, it is a journey of consciousness. We realize union with God, we don’t acquire it or receive it. It is something we already possess, but we need to let go of everything that keeps us from seeing this reality.”
