I love the title of this, Mark. It goes to the heart of the matter. My own heart! I like to think of God as a big inclusive soup of which we are all part—whether most present as vegetal, physical, or mental ingredients. It’s all a matter of spiritual energy in varying degrees of manifestation and density. The challenge, I think, is a mindful choice not to OTHER God but participate in the glorious meal of life.
“In other words, the crazy visions in Ezekiel, in Daniel, and in Revelation are about, among other things, what is happening between Christ and the soul.” Fascinating and I think you’re on to something here. Reminds me of St. Teresa of Avila’s soul work in The Castle…Your study of archetypes seem to be a means, a way, the Spirit of God would connect us all and help us discern the deeper meanings in our Spirit-filled selves. Fascinatingly wise and brave to share these perspectives AND much appreciated.

Beautifully put, Holly!

So glad to hear that this work is resonating with you, Ashley! Thank you for reading.
Mark, I wonder if Jesus, in using "Ben", was trying to tell us that he is what descendents/progeny of Homo sapiens could become?

Love this, Jock - yes!
