So It's been a little while since I posted on these forums but I have been continuing my practice.
Yesterday I was doing my normal ritual worship and meditation. I offered a banana to Ma Kali then bowed down so my head touched the floor. When my head touched the floor I was immediately filled with images of stars and galaxies spread across what appeared to be infinite space. The vacuum of space was filled with billions of stars and I saw them all burning. They were burning out in patterns that seemed semi random and went on and on. Stars exploded and the life on various planets shifted and changed over generations. I saw how they were all connected and that no one thing was out of place.
Then I saw all the way down to waves and particles, how they were all part of God's infinite being and the pattern of reality. They all spun together and I saw that existence itself was all one. It was very weird but also very thrilling. Then I saw displays of sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction, how all the good and the bad seemed to fall under one thing called being and neither seemed good nor bad.
After all this I walked around in ecstasy for awhile. It was funny cause a coworker made a joke about drugs cause I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. I was so comfortable and felt so good just existing.
As time has gone on I have continued to think about all this and the thing that has occurred to me is that it's all part of the same mechanism. It's very hard to put all this into words but it seems to me that everything from the greatest good to the greatest evil has it's place. It's all small when it's by itself but has a part to play when we look at it from the outside.
Atheists, Theists, Pantheists, and deists all have some part to play in it. The atheists are just one perspective in a vast ever growing ocean of perspective. Even if all life was destroyed there would still be this great game being played out with God or whatever we want to call it smiling and dancing in the middle. Every cruelty and every bit of generosity has it's place within it somehow. It is the nature of things for the generous to sometimes win and the cruel to sometimes win. When you look at it with the right eyes you can look at both with joy and love.
I don't know, maybe this means nothing to a lot of you but it sure felt pretty meaningful to me. I just wanted to share that and I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I don't care what your religion or political beliefs are I just hope you are all getting some peace and time to reflect. The journey will continue even if we don't want it to.
Every death is just another step, every new life another cog. They form together to create a beautiful machine that is always turning and always praising the name of God even when it denies God's existence. I think it would praise something if you didn't believe in God I am just not sure what it would be called. Is pretty neat.
