Keeping It Real

Nature is full of the supernatural. It’s built on the tree of life. Life is a mystery that inhabits physical matter but originates and flows from beyond it. Scientists can explain how living organisms function, but not what life is or how it came to exist.

To ignore the supernatural nature of life is to deny the astonishing differences between organic and inorganic matter. It is to pretend that all life, including human life, consists merely of mechanical mechanisms and digital processors. It is to believe that both basic and brilliant brains are nothing but bots, and that human consciousness is only a matter-made mirage.

If nothing exists but energy and matter, then nothing truly matters. Human understanding, consciousness, ideals, inspirations, and insights are just illusions. However, if there isn’t anything outside of nature to animate it, how can I be writing this, and you be reading it?

Listen to the loudness of life! Look at its luscious beauty. Let it launch you into a lifestyle of awe, amazement, and appreciation. Open up and begin to experience the astounding reality of compassion, kindness, and heart-connection. Step boldly beyond any bias that perhaps is blocking your perception of the supernatural.

If life's only natural,
A product of time and chance,
Why do we think it matters?
