just a thought...
but what if...
what has always been considered 'supernatural' is actually just natural occurances we have yet to understand?
i recently saw a program about Benjamin Franklin, when he discovered that lightening was a natural phenomenon, alot of people lost Faith in God. They had always viewed lightening as God's wrath and when it could be explained naturally and rationally, in their minds that could only mean that God didn't exist.
But they had put God into their own boxes, and were unable to see beyond the walls they had constructed around their beliefs.
since that day, many new discoveries have been made, we now realize that all of creation is energy particles in motion. There are worlds within worlds. Worlds invisible to the naked eye, yet we know they exist through advances in modern science.
These discoveries thrill me. I am all the more aware of the intricasies of life. The amazingly beautiful way everything is intertwined. I stand in awe!
"When a great force is liberated by the entrance of a divine being into the world arena, it must of necessity express itself through the vehicle of a human temple, and the objective expression of this force manifests itself in thoughts of different grades and degrees according to the capacity of the people. The master-teachers are the expounders of divine common sense which is the pathway to a knowledge of universal law, the result of which will be a harmonious humanity. Man confines his consciousness to this material plane. This new force will liberate him and he will become conscious of many planes and of the ultimate oneness of them all." (Abdu'l-Baha, Divine Philosophy)
Creation is too perfect, too intrinsically linked to be random. These discoveries imho just aid in my certitude that God does exist. And He loves us more that we could possibly imagine.
i am constantly humbled
I believe that God stays within the bounds of the natural laws of the universe. It seems to me that perhaps we just don't yet grasp what all of those laws are yet, and misunderstand those things that appear to be 'supernatural'.
Food for thought...
