Sometimes I wonder what the point is. The point of life, that is. Not really in a depressed way, but more in a philosophical way.
What are we doing here? Is each life alone, or are we all connected? Is it fate, or choice? Is there a purpose for everyone? Or are we all stumbling around with no clue? When this life ends, where does it go from there? Does every life touch another?
What force keeps us here? As human beings, I mean. As a life force.
I am not a Christian. I think that the religion answers those questions because humans need the answers to those questions to survive, because we are ones who have a fear of the unknown. I think it's a way to control people.
I do, however, believe in a higher power. I think "God" is just giving a name to something cosmic that is impossible to name. I think that cosmic power is in every one of us, in everything living. When you think about it, life in any form is amazing. The mechanics that drive us, the complexities that are required to make us alive is amazing. The fact that we have created this world with what we have is mind boggling.
I do believe in the divine, and I don't think it's in a book that was written by human hand. I think it's everywhere you see and hear and touch and smell. I think it's all around us, and something that is simply too hard to capture using stories.
I believe that God and Goddess are two halves of one whole, and I believe that all the Gods and Goddesses are different aspects of that God and Goddess. I think that it's a way to connect to the divine in a way that uses human words because that is what we know.
I believe in reincarnation. Energy cannot be destroyed, nor created. It's energy that drives life.
I think that we are all connected, and that every life touches another. Whether or not it's by fate or choice, I am still unsure.
