God the Mysterious...

We all live our lives based upon our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Through these experiences we all tend to develop a “philosophy” about the world in which we live. Depending upon the lens through which we view the world, our philosophy is strengthened or weakened daily based upon our limited and biased judgments.

Of course no mere mortal is capable of truly objectively seeing the world in its totality and we are even less capable of seeing the entire universe. If we were able to do this imagine our drastically different our opinions would be about this creation. Imagine if we knew with proven certainty that other planets inhabited life forms and they visited us here on earth. Imagine if we knew exactly where the people who have died and left our lives are now. Imagine if we could prove that there was or wasn’t a God…

If tested, most people would have to acknowledge that their belief systems, and thus the way they live their lives, is not infallible. Most, if they were honest, would have to acknowledge that they don’t have proof that their beliefs are unquestionable but rather a conviction of faith . Some atheists, regardless of how many “correlations” that this universe may have been created by an intelligent creator, would deny continue to deny the existence of a god. Likewise, many people of faith , regardless of how much “science” one may produce will never accept the idea that there is no God.

Of course, this debate has been going on since time immemorial. If there truly is a God why wouldn’t he or she reveal his or her self to put an end once and for all to this issue? But what if this is part of the plan? What if God chooses to remain unrecognizable by design? What if this creation simply doesn’t serve its purpose if God made him or her self obvious?

Yet there are many ancient teachings that state this is exactly part of the Creator’s plan. In fact, they go one step further suggesting that the only way God gets to experience his creation and all of its wonders is through the spell of “delusion” that is cast over all of his creations. The whole purpose of life is for God to experience all the things of his/her own nature by being many things and yet in spite of all the “many” things Spirit may experience none of them supersede Spirit’s Oneness.

Deductive reasoning would lead us to conclude that it is highly unlikely that the universe in all of its organized functioning and harmonious workings would’ve simply evolved without a “guiding hand.” Some quantum physicists say the likelihood of this would be equivalent to throwing a bunch of paint cans into the wind stream of a Boeing 747 and producing the Mona Lisa. No matter how many times you attempt this, this would just never happen! Without an “intelligent” life force at play, how do we explain a fertilized egg becoming a human being? How do random cells multiply to become specialized blood cells, skin, skeletal, muscular, brain and so forth? If the planets, stars, moons and solar systems are apparently unintelligent then where do all lifeforms from amoeba to plants, animals and human beings gain their intelligence or even their sense of consciousness?

As we each “individually” spiritually evolve we begin to turn inwards to find these answers for ourselves. Each of us have been sent out into creation to experience life with the ultimate goal of returning “home” to our rightful place in Spirit beyond creation. This will become more evident in due time but there are many forerunners who have already shown where the rest of us are heading. Awakened souls like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and many more have already shown the potential of the soul that has become one with the creative God. God is the subtlest “thing” in the entire universe and yet is the sole initiator in all of the cosmos. When the individual is determined to find the Truth then the time comes when there will be no more mysteries.
