They Deny God but They’re Inside It
You are made of pure consciousness, and you’re in the ocean of it.
It makes me laugh when people say they don’t believe in any spirituality. They take pride in denying the meaning of anything. They say that you’re delusional for believing in any type of God or any intelligence greater than yourself. I see them saying it and it’s uncomfortable to hear at times because I can almost hear the greater mind that we exist within groaning. But usually, it’s also funny. Who doesn’t love a little irony?
I am going to use the word “God” in what follows, but this is not my usual writing style. Know that when I say “God” I mean a great mind — a powerful consciousness. I am really talking about the universe here.
You’re a divine being and you’re allowed to say that you’re not if you want to. But you’re in it. As Alan Watts once spoke about a fish who found the sea, you are in a vast ocean of consciousness. You can’t step outside this ocean to see it for what it is because you’re inside it and you always will be. So, it’s like a fish denying the existence of the ocean.
You are constantly being guided and moved by the great consciousness you inhabit and embody. When you deny it exists, it’s kind of hilarious. But it’s also sad. You’re just struggling against yourself.
