| | BY REQUEST: ON DETECTING THE *REAL* GOD
Miracles, in historical time and space, demonstrate that the
fundamental order of the universe is, by intention, oriented towards
achieving certain goals in the development human civilization by the
dissemination of certain ideas. Certainly this would be unquestionably
the case, if traveling proselytizers were impervious to poison and
harm, or if they were instantaneously transported across the vast
deserted regions of Asia, or if Biblical documents were destroyed only
to be found floating down again from heaven. But as I have already
written elsewhere, if the God of heaven and earth were ever so
Christian and efficient as only the supreme deity would be, then he
would have long ago forsook the constraints of human dissemination in
favor of inscribing directly onto the hearts and minds of men from the
womb.
The God of heaven and earth may wear a mask in the form of
Judeo-Christian theology, but that theology is not the whole and
precise truth which men know. Truth and meaning are far more expansive
than one book bound, and the God of heaven and earth is far more
horrid, loving, and sublime than what the Middle East could have ever
conceived. To detect the real God, who is not bound by books or cultures or
the parameters of intelligence, you go out into the wilderness. And you
listen. Because millions of years of evolution have inscribed into your
subconscious the full wisdom of the ages from which every scripture of
every place feeds. And that is why isolation gives way to liberation,
as spoken of so often in the metaphors of scripture.
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who
looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” – Carl Jung
