Musings about godliness

There seems to be existential godliness in relationships. Relationship to self, to others, and to nature. Although the relationship to nature is an awe inspiring, humbling and all engaging affair, there is little power in the single human to alter his position in relation to it. You cannot make a mountain, you cannot stop a raging river, you cannot move the stars (yet). But it is in the relationship towards another human being where the magic happens. When you are present and connected creative energy flows. New attitudes are born, potential is revealed, limits are shifted. God is present. And this presence and connection is born out of a relationship with self. When choice in relation to the Wholly Other finds its meaning and place you know God is near. From this vantage point dependence seems godly and self-assuredness seems vain.

The bluntness of reality

"Facing the bluntness of reality is the highest form of sanity and enlightened vision....Devotion proceeds through various stages of unmasking until we reach the point of seeing the world directly and simply without imposing our fabrications....There may be a sense of being lost or exposed, a sense of vulnerability. That is simply a sign that ego is losing its grip on its territory; it is not a threat."
- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

All things known

Maybe there is more to the senses, more than the observable. Maybe there is life between the spaces. Maybe it is there that God lives. Maybe we are closer than we think - to each other, to ultimate knowing. I don't know how but I know I'm here and I might have been here before. I wish to explore the limits, find resonating truth...maybe you wish to join me.
