Looking for "G"

The Gee-whiz Factor

Everyone wonders about the basis of existence and the unanswerable questions: "Who am I, where did I come from and where am I going..."

The fact that religion hasn't tempered the need to know the truth of these questions only reinforces the gaps between believers and those who seek solace in the material world.

Long ago, our African ancestors believed that all things, living or not have consciousness in the form of a soul. This animism created a natural bond among people and their spirit world.

Then, there's the zenith of the Zen approach which centers on the inner connection of all living things through quiet reflection, negating the need to have a single figurehead like a "Deity" for guidance.

Yet, fast forward to the New Age and the 21 century and most of us are still not sure about the big "G". There's diminishing returns on the image of an avenging god, taking bets on who wins and loses, especially when the money changers have "Madoff" long ago with your life savings!

So where does an inquisitive person go to find G?

Well, you could go to the mountain top, or to the nearby groves of trees. You could go to the horse stables or perhaps, swim out to the center of a lake and wait. You could lay down on the ground at night and gaze up at the stars,.....

Or, you could just be still and know you are WHO you have been looking for.

Really?

Really!

Gee-whiz....that was easy!

Love and peace in our lifetime
