Two
dynamics are at play in the world. They both revolve around the energy to act
and to do. One dynamic has to do with faith-belief and the other with spirit.
Faith-belief
is the opposite of knowledge. It elevates uncertainty into an art form. A human
is a natural born agnostic. His awareness of his ignorance is what propels him to
gain knowledge, to learn and know about the world. But the knowledge is always
incomplete and he’s left holding the bag; a bag that he has filled with
information but a bag that remains essentially empty because it’s full of
holes. To counteract the experience of failure, he sprinkles his mind with
arrogance and calls that arrogance wisdom. He seeks superiority where none is
necessary. He grabs a pile of uncertainty and calls it certainty. But nothing
really changes.
Faith-belief
jumps in to fill the breach. He believes because he has no other recourse. He
cannot admit defeat though by admitting defeat he will find that elusive
certainty. But that’s not the kind of certainty he wants. He wants to elevate
his existence, even if it means forsaking truth and knowledge.
In
the mists of time there is chaos. There can actually be nothing else. Any order
out of chaos is tantamount to a figment of our imagination. We fight the chaos
but the end result is inevitable. All we have is faith-belief.
Unless
we dare to utilize spirit. Spirit is the coalescing of moment to moment; spirit
is the elusive now. It’s like recreating ourselves on the spot. The world
passes away but the spirit remains. Why does it remain? Because it’s not a
thing. It matters because it’s not matter. Spirit is the supreme example of
energy at work.
He
or she who has the most energy rules the world. Indeed, rules the universe.
