You can remember how to open your eyes to the Miracle of Existence

[Scholar]

There is a reason why more primitive societies are more spiritual, why they tend to easily fall into delusions of mystical and magical thinking. It is for one simple reason:

Before you come to understand the world, the miracle of existence is obvious to you. There is no question that all of this is utterly miraculous. Only through understanding can you come to take all of this for granted and come so out of touch with the clear impossibility of that which is right before your eyes. The gift of existence, trivialized to nothing but abstract ideas. To understand is to demystify, and to demystify is to become blind to the obvious.

 

To a child, Santa Clause is a possibility, precisely because the child can see that anything indeed is possible. The very substance of that which he experiences, to the child, is so foreign, so strange, so impossible that it can only be a miracle, it can only be magical, it can only be mysterious. But as the child grows, it starts to become blind and loses it's clarity. Instead, it can only see it's understanding, blind to that which is right infront of the childs eyes.

 

 

There is no reason to this, no understanding, no intelligence. It is beyond all of this, and all of this can only exist because of the miracle of existence. This actuality is so fundamentally clear that to believe otherwise is in and of itself it's own miracle.

 

If you could only open your eyes and see the miracle of existence, your seeking would be recontextualized. You would stop seeking Truth, and you would see that Truth is Creation itself, that there is no reason, no ground to it. That the substance of Truth is miracle, mystery. There is nothing to unveil, the very process of unveiling is it's own kind of Creation, it's own form of miracle. Nothing is ever unveiled, discovered or understood.

 

The ordinary has always been that which you seek, you merely forgot that it is a miracle. There is no need to seek the extraordinary, you simply have to open your eyes to the ordinary. To open your eyes, as they have been when you were born. To unlearn your blindness.
