“How does one
seek union
with God?”
“The harder
you seek,
the more distance
you create
between
Him and you.”
“So what does
one do about
the distance?”
“Understand that
it isn’t there.”
“Does that mean
that God and I
are one?”
“Not one.
Not two.”
“How is
that possible?”
“The sun
and its light,
the ocean
and the wave,
the singer
and his song
– not one.
Not two.”
Anthony DeMello

He is saying that we are ‘aspects’ of God, not the whole of God (1), nor separate (2) from God.
We are the light(effect), God is the sun (source) …we are the wave(effect), God is the ocean(source).
