Grace Is God’s Continual Gravitational Pull

There was a talk about the last step being God’s step, similar to a saying in A Course in Miracles: ‘God takes the last step.’ Can you speak about this? And what is grace? Rupert says: ‘God doesn’t just do the last step. God also does the first step and all the steps in between. God’s infinite being veils itself with its own activity. And then it attracts itself back to itself. There is a wound in the heart of that separate self, the wound of separation. The longing that that apparently separate self has for happiness or enlightenment is not really anything the separate self does. It is the gravitational force that God’s infinite being exerts on its own contracted form, drawing it back into itself. So, grace is operating on us all the time – it’s the continual gravitational pull of God’s infinite being on the temporary finite self that we seem to be.’
