About this Quote

This quote by John Polkinghorne speaks with the concept of the Eastern churches that production is eventually meant to share in the life of God. This suggests that all of production, consisting of humankind, is meant to be joined with God in such a way that enables us to experience the life of divine nature. This is a concept that has actually been held by Eastern churches for centuries, and it is a pointer that we are all linked to God and that we can all experience the life of divine nature. It is a pointer that we are all part of a bigger spiritual truth and that we can all experience the pleasure and peace that originates from being connected to God. This quote is a suggestion that we can all experience the life of divine nature if we open ourselves up to it and enable ourselves to be unified with God.
