It is True

I suppose one has only to get past oneself to understand that God is real and true. I did while spending almost four years on this world’s oceans. The Navy did not have this in mind for us but it is true that being out of sight of land, of comfort and surety, that one is forced to reconcile one’s mind when trying to look beyond our eathly existence. We were not designed, I use that word loosely, to be at sea. When one sees naught but the horizon for months on end one begins to muse as to what else there may be, unseen. Were a person born on the ocean, in one type of conveyance or other, one might begin to question why we had feet instead of fins. Why do we breathe air instead of oxygen passed through gills? Or, in my case, how come I am on top of the sea when all the action is under the sea? Why in the heck is there life in water in the first place? And why is this water not fit to drink?

The first thing to try to wrap one’s head around is that, as far as we currently understand, the rest of the planets are lifeless. Oh, there are scientists who analyze light spectrums and try to tell us that there is life on other planets, in ours and other galaxies. What they are telling us, in truth, is that our “knowledge” of the light spectrum dictates that other light spectrums indicate the chemical balance that is good for our type of life out there. Well, do we take their word for this?

One first has to understand that our knowledge, every speck of it, is biased to what the Earth allows us to understand. All the conjecture pointed toward space is just that, conjecture. It is fun to consider but holds no proof. Math assumes what we know of math on Earth . . . only. We may not even have an inkling of what math is out beyond our ability to properly reason. Who told anyone that the universe is static when it comes to dimensions, mathematics, or life?

Looked at this way we understand that we make too many assumptions concerning us and what we think we know. At the same time, so many reject God due to what we think we know. God is not a scientific discussion nor is He visible to any of us. All we can do is stay within ourselves and wonder why we are here in the first place and, then, why we have such a pencant for killing one anoher. Once in that mind set is a good time to reconsider that there is more in the invisble spectrum than can ever be met by our eyes. It is good to do this with our eyes open and our brains silent for a time. It is in silence that God can come to you, if asked to. He is patient with us but not indefinitely as things here are in flux. If you’re looking for love you already have it, so open your brain to the unseen reality of life.
