a splinter in your mind xxi

If a team of the best doctors assembled around you in an operating room with the best equipment with the objective of finding 'you'...where would they find 'you'? What part of your body would they need to open up to find you? If they cut open the heart muscle would they find you there? If they dissected the brain organ would they find you?

If a team of the best psychologist and psychiatrist assembled with the same objective, where would they find 'you'?

Where, what, who are 'you'?

Can 'you' be killed?

Were 'you' born or have 'you' always existed?

What are 'you' made of?

Chasing after the wind

Ever find yourself chasing after some particular circumstance or set of circumstances? Why do we do that? Do circumstances produce what we're all seeking? Will the American, African, Christian dream satisfy your true desires?

What are you truly seeking? What do you really desire?

When visiting the cereal aisle, you're seeking fuel for your body or container. What are the cereal companies selling?

Fun, Excitement, Incredible taste, Pleasure, Safety, Ease, Time, Health.

The same thing happens in every aspect of life and it's easy to forget about or distracted from why we are in the cereal aisle.

allness

If God is all, all is a manifestation or expression of God. So...the below aren't individually the totality of God but they are cells of the body of God, expressions of the totality of God....so...

I eat God.
I breath God.
I poop God.
Snot is God.
Eye poop is God.
Light is God.
Darkness is God.
Spiders are God.
Rhinoceros' are God.
The bug on the blade of grass growing out the rock outcropping high in the Himalaya's is God.
Fungus is God.
Lantern fish are God.
Sharks are God.
Polar bears are God.
Bats are God.
Fire is God.
Cold is God.
Volcano's are God.
Earthquakes are God.
All that is natural is God...that begs the question...what of the unnatural?

Are pencils (any creation of mankind) manifestations of God or are they manifestations of the absence of God? Do mankind's creations seek to fill mankind's perceived lack?

What would our existence be like if none of mankind's creations existed?

What of evil? Is it a manifestation of God or is it a manifestation of mankind? Is it a manifestation of God or the absence of God?
