Michah: " for I am merely human and would not recognise divinity anyway......"
I don't know you well nor do I even presume to understand the point of view from which you are experiencing your spirituality, but the quote above really confuses me.
It's really not necessary for you to respond to my query, but it seems to me that throughout history, no matter which one of the major religions of the world one might identify with, or even if one chooses a spiritual life of less restrictive definition, it is not God's nature to hide Himself/Herself from us. Indeed, the God I know and love wants us to know Him intimately.
Like I said, it is only an impression that is puzzling to me. I am glad that your elder or priest was able to put some of your angst to rest.
