The Ultimate Awesome

"It is better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out."

-- Neem Karoli Baba

I don't care if you're Einstein or Stephen Hawking, or the recipient of a MacArthur genius award, you're not going to be able to figure it all out. It just ain't going to happen -- no way, no how.

So why spin your cognitive wheels in the primordial mud of existence? Why spend you're entire life trying to explain the unexplainable. Yo, there Sisyphus, just let that friggin rock go already!

Rational thought cannot explain reality. Intuition, however, can grasp what discursive thinking cannot. You can intuit the true nature of existence. And through intuition you can know and "see" God in everything.

It ain't easy. It's like looking through a pair of binoculars that keep slipping out of focus. But with practice your seeing can become more consistent. And by practice I don't mean "trying," I mean being. Being present to reality. Getting out of your thoughts, out of your emotions and, right here, right now, taking perception to a deeper level.

When it all clicks, it's amazing! God is everywhere, in everything. It's not a concept, it's an experience of the highest order, a knowing of the deepest degree, the ultimate awesome. God everywhere, in everyone, in everything -- what could be more obvious?

You may not be prone to trying to figure out the ultimate nature of existence. I bet, however, that you vex yourself unnecessarily trying to figure out why your partner does what he or she does, why your teenager is acting like that, or why your coworkers seems so clueless and lame. Forget about it! Instead, use a different part of your mind, and see God in each and every one.

God in disguise, God in drag. Behind each and every mask, behind personas one and all, hell, in personas one and all, lurks The Divine. Everyday our joyous task is the same -- see! Simply see.
