| If The Creator and the creation are one, then the world is not malicious at all. In fact I am not seperate from the world, but one with it. When i look at the world, the world looks at itself through my eyes. The only difference between a human being and the world around him/her is that humans have a better focussed consciousness, in the same way a convex lens focuses the ubiquitous sun rays. Yet the majority of sunlight, by far does NOT fall on the lens. I like to believe that there is a diffuse sentience in the universe, which is FAR greater than my consciousness. Perhaps if I listen carefully, I can hear its voice speak to me? The universe is a good place, if I feel alone and seperated, it is because my finite mind cannot begin to comprehend the infinite. A curtain seperates me and the world I belong to, a veil that hides my connection to it. If the world is benign, how come there are bad things and people in it? The answer is, I don't know. I suspect that good and bad is not something inherent to things, but it is a result of my limited perception. What appears to be evil maybe just something I dont fully understand . Perhaps it is like death. I was terrified of death when I was younger, because it meant the cessation of this conscious being. Today I believe that death gives meaning to life, and that life and death are intricately connected to each other. Without death, life as we know it wouldn't exist. And death is perhaps a going back to the larger more diffuse sentience from where I have come? Perhaps conscious life is like a raindrop that is seperated from the ocean from where it came, and is now flowing back down to the ocean? | |
