capaciousness

Consider that you are a streaming of energy outward from the Source of all things, a continuous outpouring of energy from the Wellspring. If you were capable (cap-able means having the cap-acity), if you had the capacity, you would be a radiant human unhindered by obstruction. Those who are or have such capacity are identical with the energy of the eternally giving Source. They are the transcended, the transcendent, symbolized by Elijah being caught up in the heavens by a chariot of fire and of Enoch who "walked with God and was no more."

A step down from that (and step down is appropriate language because it is similar to a transformer allowing high-voltage electricity to step down to less intensity so that it does not blow the household circuits) is your ordinary saint, who has a larger heart and greater capacity than the rest of us and shows it in his/her daily life.

Stepping the energy down even further is essential to not blow out the circuits of those of us of less and less carrying capacity. It is in this sense that we put constraints on God.

We are the ones who determine our capaciousness. We restrict ourselves. We limit our capacity. Granted that there may be limits imposed by this particular manifestation that we are, we do not know what our limits are. And we may never know, because we restrict ourselves before we are restricted. We are good at this -- this shutting ourselves down so we do not know our full capability, our carrying capacity.

What is called spiritual practice (energy training I call it) is the conscious deliberate annihilation of all obstacles that limit capacity. To put it more positively, one opens to the radiance of the Source. The universe itself seems ready and willing to cooperate in this endeavor. We conduit.
