If all we see of each other is an appearing (clothed in the universe…), what of the rest of what we see that is not attached to any (recognizable) person?
You know when you’re just zoned out and become aware that you are zoned out in the direction of a person and they think you’re looking at them?
There was a time when the mundaneness of life struck me. There came a feeling that there was more. I was losing focus on worldly matters and being pulled in the direction of God. Eventually my interest was focused on what God wanted me to know about life, especially my life.
I see the “reality” of the world around me and the extent to which I have to accept it, but I have also been enlightened by God’s words and can now realize that it was He that was waking me up and drawing me.
There surely is a difference between the world and the spirit.
Thought has it’s place in the material world. Yet even there it can harm what nature has taken so long to create. But we all have basic needs to sustain and need to see to them.
If you don’t behave yourself, I’m going to dehydrate the entire world and collapse the continents back in on themselves with my voodoo. Just waiting for the pushpins & foam tac to come in the mail.
There’s still relationism even at crossroads. What exactly does one want? If it’s where do I go to buy some carrots there’s an answer.
If it’s who am I, where do you go? You can take the nobody knows what’s good way. You only know what’s good for you. All your skill is based on that. Otherwise there’s something wrong with you. Even there it’s a muddle when you question your/other’s objectives. So it gets mixed up, figured out and mixed up again. Where does it lead?
Does it have to lead anywhere? Maybe it’s the urge to know and create a state of permanence that makes people ask lots of questions, and when we quit them, everything will be all right, as it should be. You take what comes, and no questions asked. No one is there to keep a tally. No accounts kept. And what’s wrong with that? Where is a problem there? What happens then would be none of your concern.
