There is no god

[melanie]

I have no dreams
I have no plans for a future,I don't have a future
I don't have regrets from a past, I don't have a past
I have no ego,
I respond to the evolutionary impulse of the universe,
I am you but you are blind to this beauty of existence
you are blinded not because you don't have eyes but because you have them
close your eyes,trust this darkness of 'not knowing',
breathe it, try not to understand and 'just be'
fragrance, hues, beauty emerge out of this 'being-ness'
then you'll see .. this universe
god fooled herself,just to enjoy this play of 'you' and 'me' 'past' and 'future' - all dualities

'' What you are looking at is what is looking ''

The truth of reality is that nothing exists outside of awareness.
Nothing actually exists without awareness' ability to apprehend itself.
This Void is the ultimate horror for the ego.
A delicious, awesome, overwhelming horror that no ego can withstand.

GOD IS A CONCEPT - - - A CONCEPT IS GOD


ALL THINGS in this temporal world arise and fall away, it is constantly changing,
as appearances appearing in THAT which is beyond all appearances,
It is here and only here where Y(our) permanent home resides... aka (NO-THINGNESS) and (CHANGELESSNESS)

Conditions are impermanent,subject to rise and fall.
Having arisen they cease - their stilling is bliss.

In truth there's no self anywhere to be found,
there are only "phenomenon" "nature" and "characteristics" continually arising and passing away, as is their nature.
Every single moment we're undergoing birth and death.

As soon as we're born, we're dead.
Our birth and death are just one thing.
If there was no birth there would be no death.
Can't have one without the other.

This is the way things are.

There can be no net change to All That Is.

The conservation of energy principle shows us that.

When the creation was new and all the stars shone in their first
splendor, the gods held their assembly in the sky and sang
`Oh, the picture of perfection! the joy unalloyed!'

But one cried of a sudden
---`It seems that somewhere there is a break in the chain of light
and one of the stars has been lost.'

The golden string of their harp snapped,
their song stopped, and they cried in dismay
---`Yes, that lost star was the best,
she was the glory of all heavens!'

From that day the search is unceasing for her,
and the cry goes on from one to the other
that in her the world has lost its one joy!

Only in the deepest silence of night the stars smile
and whisper among themselves
---`Vain is this seeking! unbroken perfection is over all!'

God, by any other name is still, God.
Other names:

Brahman
No thing
Void
Abyss
Silence
ONE
The Whole

All are ineffable and unknowable.
Labels only point to their ISness.
God has many names but here is only one God.
God is nothing and yet it is everything, a mystery, and baffles the seemingly smartest/knowing minds.

"Look at what is living/LIFE," indeed.
All thing living is
the living God. (not some anthropomorphic projection of a white haired bearded dude sitting on a cloud, in a place called heaven....
but rather right here, and now, as you, me and all.

A rose, by any other name...is still a rose.

"Every rose has it's thorn.
Just like every night has it's dawn."

It is not that the All came from Nothing;
Its is that the All is Nothing.

There are times when we have nothing tangible to cling to, and it is only that which we may find within ourselves that is able to sustain us through times of difficulty.
