Soul Belongings: The Oasis of QFFC — AbSermoncast of Compassion, Consciousness, Joy & Sacred Fire
Sermon 57: To Know and Be Known — The Sacred Practice of Remaining Available to Another’s Revelation
We spend our lives naming one another.
The smart one.
The difficult one.
The strong one.
The caretaker.
The problem.
The provider.
The healer.
The survivor.
Some of those descriptions may be true.
But none of them are large enough to contain a human being.
In this sermon from the Quantum Fusion Fellowship of Compassion, we explore sacred witnessing—what it means to encounter another person without reducing them to their usefulness, role, history, body, productivity, relationship to us, or even our previous understanding of who they are.
Drawing from Cheers, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Office, 1 Corinthians, Emmanuel Levinas, and the wisdom of recognition without possession, we ask:
Can we allow another human being to remain a mystery without making them a stranger?
Because knowing someone is not the same as possessing complete information about them.
Love does not grant interpretive ownership.
History does not freeze identity.
And intimacy may not mean finally understanding someone.
Maybe intimacy is the willingness to keep meeting them.
Again and again.
You don’t finish knowing someone. You remain available to their revelation.
And perhaps that is what it means...
to know and be known.
