"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
This is not only scripture. It is song, vibration, energy. It is the unveiling of divine light through the medium of human life.
In traditional theology, this passage has been read to affirm Jesus' divinity in metaphysical terms. But from a mystical perspective, the focus shifts. We do not fixate on essence, but on expression. The Word is God's breath made audible. The Word becoming flesh is not God turning into a man, but God's presence overflowing into a life so surrendered that it shines fully.
Jesus becomes the mirror, not the exception. He reveals not what God became, but what humanity is meant to be: vessels of light.
"To all who received him... he gave power to become children of God." (John 1:12)
This is not about exclusive salvation. It is about universal invitation.
We become children of God when the same Spirit that breathed life into Jesus breathes through us. This is resurrection not of doctrine, but of being. It is the Spirit rising daily within us to awaken love, humility, and light.
In Jesus washing feet, in Jesus forgiving enemies, in Jesus walking with the forgotten, we see divinity kneeling. We see power laid down. This is the culture of heaven: the last shall be first.
Mysticism does not deny the transcendence of God. It reveals that the transcendent One bends low in love. The Word does not boast, it bows.
And so shall we, if we are to walk the way of reconciliation.
