First note. Might as well go big. We have always asked the same questions and they're good questions because the answers aren't knowable. Why all this, what is all this. These questions logically lead to positing on the origin of things. Here's my take. And this is just for fun, just what makes sense to me, what works for me.

The cause of the observable, I will call God for ease of conversation. I do not see it as a he or a she or anthropomorphic in any way. It seems obvious to me that putting a face (or arms, legs, preferences, pronouns) to the origin is just our animal hubris filtering the cosmic scope through our lens. That's not big enough for me. That doesn't work. It needs to be too large for an understandable idea. So I will say It is both everything and nothing.

I propose there is an energy screen, on one side nothingness, the other side, here, awareness. God encompasses the extant and non-extant sides. When nothing is pushed through the screen we get the universe.

I like the Dao. That makes sense to me. I cannot truck something that must be asked for love, begged for favor, performed for or earned. Because that's not love. I believe in love and light and a positive force because those must be. Nothingness, before form or color, becomes force and light and that is love.

This origin could be a race of beings, the universe their terrarium. It could be a kid. It could be higher dimensions. I think probably it takes all these forms with its infinite iterations. For fun, I think God plays a game. The game is: push through the field from nothing to something and see if this is an iteration where God remembers it is God or if it's one of the times where God thinks it's something else, separate.

I think my job is to be amazed and the definition of God is mystery. I think all is one; wrinkles in a blanket look across the valley and think they are separate from that wrinkle over there. I am God-part like a star or a bug or a human or trash or gold.

I like the practice of doing nothing with purpose, letting things be exactly as they are and in so doing obtaining and doing all things.

I like the idea that to wrap my arms around the universe I must zoom inward not out.

I think the grand unifying theory of physics that aligns micro and macro systems is spiritual in nature. I think string theory is getting close to being a spiritual theory.

I think ultimately it is pointless and I think that is very good news. I think because life is not serious it is time to be kind and see what I can add to it. I don't think this means I shouldn't be angry or hate or kill or lust. I do not judge the human experience as wrong or right based off morals. I do not begrudge myself or anyone the full experience. I know what I prefer, kindness and love, but hate and anger are no less a part of The Way.

I like football and cooking and reading and mountains. I think we live in a strange time where truth is no longer denied us but rather buried in bullshit so maybe even harder to find.
