Knowing ourselves by growing in expressing ourselves
The human expression of Jesus was extreme. The Psalms teach how radical grace really is by teaching us the height of our expressions cannot even come close to this description of Christ expression. When Christ expressed His joy, anger, and cries , He understood the importance of His expression on the level of eternity. When we express His strong cries we are consumed.

Our human expressions are how we understand reality. Christ human expressions are the total real reality of the only real man. Our human expressions are almost insignificant compared to Christ. The Psalms describe the life of the inward desire in how much reality we have in our human expressions. These expressions are not just outward responses on the level that we experience in our connection to creation but they are the inward reality that makes up our disposition. We can say that the closer we are to Christ expression determines the kind of inward experience as an inward expression. It is described in the words" bowels of compassion." The inward compassion affects the physical organs. This is what the scripture calls receiving eternal life. Eternal life is the quality of life that we experience.

Our reception of eternal life is not just from our performance in the christian life. In fact we are performing on the standard of the quality of eternal life that we are receiving. The quality of eternal life that Christ experienced on this earth was in total oneness with all of creation in the human expression on an eternal level. When we pray and meditate on these expressions our souls are enlarged. This enlargement is both from the positive breathing in of the human expression and the breathing out of the negative human expression. We receive the nature of Christ..love , joy, peace. etc in mirroring His human expression. When we express the human expression in the Psalms we are experiencing the weight of Christ expression.The bible calls this the weight of glory. This is why these expressions enlarge our souls. We are being loved beyond our definition of the reality of love. Not as a description of eternal love but as eternal love meets the human expression of love.
