The mystery of the universe is that it is mysterious.
"Mysterious" doesn't show up anywhere out there like an absolute is. Out there, there is no distinction "mysterious". "Mysterious" is a distinction wholly created by we human beings. ...The emperor has no clothes... We are the mystery makers. We declared the universe to be mysterious to keep the game interesting. Then, to keep the interesting game going, we had to forget that it was we who declared the universe to be mysterious to keep the game interesting. We have forgotten so well that it was we who declared the universe to be mysterious to keep the game interesting that the mystery we created now has a life of its own which is seen by us, its creators, as having nothing to do with us, as wholly separate and distinct from us, even as enigmatic.
We, the source, are surrounded by our own creation. We are submerged in it. We swim in it. While we resign to make believe that we are in mystery about it, we can remember any time we choose to that we created it. We can remember any time we choose to that we created the mystery to keep the game interesting. We can remember any time we choose to that we had to forget it was we who declared the universe to be mysterious to keep the interesting game going.
We are the source of our own experience. That's Enlightenment. We are the source of our own lives. That's a bigger piece to bite off. We are the source of Life Itself. That stand is not for the faint hearted.
Bird is to sky as fish is to water as human is to source. Birds' milieu is sky. Sky is so integrated into birds' lives that a bird doesn't have the distinction "sky". A bird doesn't notice sky. Fishes' milieu is water. Water is so integrated into fishes' lives that a fish doesn't have the distinction "water". A fish doesn't notice water. So it is with we humans and source. Our milieu is source. Source is so integrated into our lives that we don't have the distinction "source". We don't notice source.
Could it be that we humans not noticing source is not an accident nor a failure of intelligence but rather simply an act of intention? Could it be that every aspiration we have made significant would be completely meaningless if we were to distinguish source in our lives? Could it be that we live our entire lives in vain because we live in violation of the distinction "source"? Could it be that after all our needs for change fail to produce satisfaction, after our protect ourselves no matter what the costs are doesn't produce security, after all our holier than thou righteousness makes our world a more dangerous place than a safer place in which to live, could it be that the reason why the jury is still out on the experiment called "humankind" is because we live our lives backwards?
Could it be that we endlessly invest everything we own, trying to go towards the source and trying to accomplish the source where we aren't, rather than coming from the source where we are?
Coming from the source where we are rather than trying to go towards the source and trying to attain the source where we aren't is actually simple. What it requires is remembering that we created the mystery to keep the game interesting. What it requires is remembering that we had to forget it was we who declared the universe to be mysterious to keep the interesting game going.
And it's not that once we remember we created the mystery that the game ends. The beauty of it is, yes, that game ends but then since we are the source, we get to make up a new game to play ... over and over and over again ...
The tree leaves. The ocean waves. The universe peoples. Source sources sources...
Those are verbs, by the way.
We create reality. We are reality creating machines.
Ok, now go on and play. Enjoy!
