Nature's Sublimity

Unfolding the Ageless Truths and Wonders: Time is precious, yet truth is more precious ... for truth can not only unlock the mysteries of time but of the cosmos.

Two bodies of laws govern the universe. Those commonly known as the laws of nature as determined by science, and those largely beyond the grasp of the mind referred to in physics as the sub-atomic or quantum realm, believed by some to interface the spiritual, creating in effect two "worlds" or a fourth dimension.

With everything to gain and nothing to lose: To apprehend, liberate and elevate oneself from the baser laws of nature into the over-arching laws of the finer spheres one must transcend the mind. This can be realized without great difficulty from a natural attraction, upon realizing the comprehensive benefits not only to oneself but all things, through the heart by purifying one’s motives ... or simply cultivating an affinity for all things ... not as difficult as it may seem when realizing the shared commonality, finer essence and wondrous potential. Falling in love with love; Comprehensive inclusive compassion tempered and guided by wisdom ... still the most important lesson and universal answer, ultimately decisive, and victorious.

What makes the world/universe work best as a whole is open-mindedness, tolerance, give and take ... balance, rather then extremism. Millions praise/love God, but what's decisive is why. Because of celebrity status, awe of power and as a insurance policy from an exclusive ability to grant eternal life (as if God doesn't perceive one's primary motives)? Many, or most religions would come under the above. Sadly, if Jesus returned he'd be met largely with indifference or re-crucified (even by many "Christians") for disturbing the status quo, and why philosophies/perspectives such as goodness for its own sake without expectation of reward, whose bounties can only be perceived deep within the heart, through open minded self-honesty and purification of motive have few subscribers. Many state they worship because he is God, which could turn out to be a sophisticated alien who loves to be worshipped. So what is it the truly sincere love; "His" benevolent harmonious qualities; such as compassion, kindness, wisdom, and sacrifice. Therefore it's the qualities that are of greatest value, thus placing what is of most value in proper order ... although this should not diminish our love/respect for such an entity assuming their existence, which cannot realistically be ascertained subject over the ages to exploitation, deletion, alteration or misinterpretation, but we can aspire to their benevolent qualities for their own intrinsic innate value, thereby capture the comprehensive finer spirit and purifying essence of the divine transcending faith, religion, salvation from sacrificial debt or fear of being discarded ... lest we forget Jesus' declaration; 'For ye shall do even greater things', 'the truth written in your hearts', 'the kingdom of God/heaven (or dimension?) at hand within'. Surely a Great Spirit of true compassion and purity would place aspiring to such qualities above all else, including being worshipped, demonstrative sacrificial acts, or "required" technicalities. - brad kalita
