– Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Practicing the art of quieting my mind and being completely present in the moment has become one of my favorite things to do. The space that fills the "empty spaces" takes on almost a solid quality. The spaces in between become of substance and alive.
That solid, substantial, alive emptiness is God.
Maybe I'm crazy, but that's how I feel when I sit and become completely present with It. And all things manifest come from the emptiness, right? I mean, all THINGS began as NoTHINGS didn't they?
And scientists say that proportionately speaking, the distance between the atoms in our bodies is comparable to the distance between the stars and galaxies. So I've come to think of God and the consciousness that exists in the spaces in between. The intelligence responsible for pulling the pieces into an ordered form that I recognize, and holding it there.
A sock is a sock because the atoms and particles are all pulled together in THAT specific pattern and are held there, in suspended animation so that I may observe a sock with my sensory perceptions.
What is it in the space that tells the pieces where to go and stay?
But the funny thing is, the deeper into things scientists go; The tinier the particle, the more space they find inside.
So this has become my understanding of God. God is in all things to the deepest extent, and yet all things are IN God at the very same time. And I've formed this conclusion by sitting in complete silence and observing and occasionally contemplating the space in between.
And if at the root of my nature, my consciousness, my soul, I too am that space, that pulsing, aware, divine space, then I have much more control than I can realize.
I believe the true purpose of all things is to bring me closer to realizing. To compel me to contemplate the Space until I Am.
Seems logical to me that once that point is reached, things lose their purpose and meaning beyond pleasure and happiness. Once you've suffered enough to go into the Space, you realize that, only that could be the purpose.
I don't know how you found me...but I'm glad you did. You will be added to one of my favorite reads.
