I Stare at the Face of Hopelessness and Kiss Him to Shut Him Up
Q&A on Finding Your Connection to God/Truth, Facing Hopelessness and What to Worship in Life.
(Disclaimer which I put always: I use the word “God” in this post, but feel free to switch that word out for Truth, The Universe, Creation, Consciousness, Love, A HoneyBee, Reality, Peace, etc etc etc).
Q: How do I find my own connection to God, separate from the one pushed on me?
A: I have two answers, the practical one, and the one which flows out of me.
Practical: I can not even begin to answer this for you, because to give you my answer would uphold the idea which you are trying to get away from. I can not tell you how to find God, if the God you are trying to find is the one who only exists for you, your own personal connection to God, your own love and true guiding light.
How can I tell you how to love? And how can I tell you what to love? You need to find it completely through your own inner light, which guides you to the place where he, well you know who, is awaiting you. A place where none appears.
Because God is empty, God is whatever you create for yourself. And whatever you create from your true self, is completely real, tangible, and important.
If I give you my map, it won't take you to yourself.
If I tell you to go inside to find him, but your God is standing outside in some city, waiting to cross the street, then you'll miss him completely.
And here's the answer which flows from my heart:
look to see the ways your fingers move when writing a letter. Look to see which way the trees blow in a storm. The moment which you notice something, is the moment you were given a gift. Don't waste it.
Even when the whole world’s against you, a dog will still lick your hand.
Q: What do you worship?
