I do believe, I believe that they’re staring right at this screen.
I believe that they’re writing these words, and they are interpreting them in the head of the eyes of the reader.
There is no reason for god to exist anywhere ‘outside’ of ‘all there is’, or in a metaphysical heaven or home of sorts, when he can exist inside all of us.
When I find that there is divinity in all of us, and in all that’s around me, I stop searching any further, and start loving, start cherishing, start embracing.
God for me, is just a personification of the universe, it’s just a perspective, a belief, faith as they say. I am aware of it, yet I choose to adopt this story that I’ve told myself, because it helps me have a better life experience.
The universe doesn’t have a right or wrong or a good or bad, there are no directions in our world, only perspectives. There is no ‘truth’ or ‘reality’, all is just a mirage made by our minds.
And if that’s the case, it really doesn’t matter then what the ‘truth’ is, or if ‘god’ really really is a ‘person’ that exists.
It’s just a choice I make between two options:
-
Say that the universe is pure chaos and we’re all one probability in millions more and nothing is in our control since it’s all a cosmic domino that’s falling without any of our free will, since the creation of the universe.
Yeah great, that sounds scientific, but that doesn’t really help me live a better life, which for me, is kind of the point now. -
Personify the universe into this all encompassing being, a.k.a GOD. And then use the tendencies of human people to explain the chaos we observe in the universe, to give a story to it.
- Stories like: This happened with me because god was trying to teach me something. or God likes to surprise me this way. or much easier God is watching, they’ll take care of all their children.
- Considering that we have free will (I strongly feel like we have), This story of GOD helps us make better decisions, in the macro and also in the super micro, micro like every microsecond of our state of mind and how we interact with the world. When we do that, the infinite order side effects of that domino that we push slightly differently come back to us in the form of positive experiences (this is also our interpretation btw).
- This forms a self-fulfilling prophecy in our story of almighty god, so it keeps working for the best!
I wake up everyday and have started to choose the second perspective much more than the first one, it helps me more. I hope you choose one that helps you more.
