Compassion is the door through which love can flow. It is that initial identification, that initial impulse to love, that opens the door to all love and all understanding. Once there is compassion for another, there soon develops understanding, and once there is understanding, it soon ripens into love. - Ham

Union with God is, in the eternal scale of things, an event just now at your fingertips. At least this is true subsequent to making the supreme decision regarding your relationship with God and the service of his love. With this decision behind you though, there is a whole new array of adjustments to be made. These are numerous, and, in a sense is like this: prior to your supreme choice your spiritual progress is like a jigsaw puzzle where all the parts are still in the box and all the potential is there for attainment. Your supreme decision is equivalent to spilling the pieces out onto the table.
Now begins a great process of assembly. Yet, without opening the box, none of the adjustments could be made. To have lifted the lid is the most important thing and begins the inevitable attainment of union, that of assembling, perceiving, and in this case, becoming that big picture. This is an event of eternal consequence, and its time orientation is insignificant relative to the eternal ramifications. Diligent and careful work in cooperation with God brings the event nearer at hand. Your hankering for this will in no way bring you any closer to the event itself, but your alignment with truth, your love for beauty, and your living goodness will go further in bringing about this event than merely wanting it.
The assembly of this puzzle has many events of enjoyment as you begin to discern fragments of this picture you are becoming, and clarity begins to dawn on you as to how it is going to emerge. These epiphanies are multiple and quite fulfilling. Emergence of the actual picture signals completion.
Afterwards, you will be faced with a completely new horizon, one that you are more greatly endowed with divine power to attain, but one that, though rising out of your past experience, is now based upon an entirely new reality, your union with God. This could be likened to returning to the store and walking aisles in search for which of the many greater and more complex puzzles you will open next. Seeking God before this union is a different undertaking than it will be afterwards. Then you will note that the undertaking stretches over far, far greater periods of time than the one prior to union. This is why I tell you it is now at your fingertips. - Lantarnek
