Every thing is a miracle that we have only scratched the most superficial surface of. Nothing is as it appears to be. We know a few details about how something works and we dismiss it. I’m talking about miraculous from a scientific point of view! Every flick of a star, every beat of your heart, the filtering of blood by your kidney to create urine, chambered of Nautilus The value adjustment that something we understand a little about is not amazing. It’s ridiculous. It’s hubris, sophomoric, from the word root wise fool.
"The worlds interpenetrate and, in fact, are one and the same."
I have found that this is a truth many do not talk about. From my tradition, I tell people that nirvana is samsara, and samsara is nirvana, but the idea of transcendence cutting through immanence is one that people love to hold on to.
I love this connection, Brian. Thank you. In kabbalistic understandings, there are four worlds, ranging from least dense (direct connection to God/ Emptiness) to most dense (materiality). The worlds overlap and the divine flow can run either direction. It all emanates from and returns to the cosmic oneness.
I like that understanding. I think the religious left needs to emphasize such concepts of the world and human anthropology more, letting people know that there are multiple streams in religious traditions.
Thank you. I’ve had my own messages come through. In dreams, “coincidences” but have struggled with the church. Needed this message this morning. Thank you

Yes, totally agreed, Miryam. The distinction between scientific and miraculous, natural and unnatural is artificial anyway. It's all natural!

Present with you in that company!
