carrying the water bucket for the Teem

The form one adopts to seek the Divine is the form in which the Divine appears.

Though the form may be thought to be necessary, and in some sense is, the form is both inclusive and exclusive. One has to be careful or one can get snug and smug in the form and think that Truth exists nowhere else.

When we follow the profane (pro, outside; fanum, the temple), when we adopt the form of deliberately living outside the temple of the Divine, the profane is the only form in which for us the Divine appears.

Every form in which we seek the Divine is the form in which the Divine appears. There is no water outside our cup. Or so we think. And so we experience. Adopting a form has both blessings and limitations.

The anti-form is also a form.

Every form in which we seek the Divine is the form in which the Divine appears. God appears according to our carrying capacity.
