肉体与精神的融合/人与天的融合/天人共一
Explanation:
我生活的目标是将我的天赋展现给世人:通过我的音乐和舞蹈达到肉体与精神的完美结合。
或:通过我的音乐和舞蹈达到天人共一的完美境界。

divine union 对于有宗教信仰的人来说是人和神的结合;在没有特别提到宗教的语境里,译为“肉体与精神的融合/人与天的融合“比较合适。

神性联盟

INTEGRATIVE: 'Integrative' - based glyphs are a reflection of the union between the masculine and feminine within or the union between spirit and form. Another term for this is 'Divine Union.'
整合:基于“整合”的符号是一个内在阴阳之间的联合、或灵魂与肉体联合的映像。另一个同类词汇是“神性联盟”

我生活中的目标是将我有幸获得的东西送给全世界的人:通过我的音乐和跳舞为神圣结合而狂欢。

I think he used 'divine union' to stress the fact that he was able to touch millions of lives in the whole wide world through his music. Uniting the world with his songs and dance steps --> 'We are the World', 'Heal the World', moonwalk, etc...

divine union - definitely not in its religious context but in the sense that it is extraordinary. 非同凡响

He was able to unitepeople from all walks of life breaking language, religious, social and cultural barriers. Just look at CNN coverage of their tribute to Michael.

天作之合


Explanation:
This seems to me a straight and seamless translation, since "union" is 合, and "divine," 天. Besides, it is an old, almost threadbare, Chinese phrase.
