So another one coming up and this one is about what God is like.
I’d like to make this into a meditation and that is just to become aware of your hands right now.
If we assume that God is real they must be his design, right?
So another one is to think of the smallest forms of life right onto the biggest forms of life in physical size if we look at Planet Earth, right?
There’s like microbes and bacteria and then there’s huge elephants and whales on the opposite end of the spectrum.
So that to me is a great metaphor on God’s Majesty.
The Beauty Is Incomprehensible
In this way the beauty of the universe is really beyond all words.
How come someone could design something so magnificent?
Science can’t explain it at all so we must look into religion once more and I think that some traditions do a great job at illustrating the true nature of reality and being alive.
For example the word Shiva and Shakti mean the two sides of Reality which are Consciousness and Energy.
So there’s this thing called Consciousness which means that The Universe is literally aware of itself. Which is of course not a thing that materialist science does a good job of explaining.
Shiva Is Universal Consciousness
Shiva is the consciousness that is non-dual and present everywhere. Shiva is the consciousness that is pure bliss, called chidanandarupa. There is a line in Sanskrit which says that this blissful, innocent state of consciousness, or Shiva, can be known through forbearance and yoga, tapo-yoga-gamya.

So Shiva is really the most beautiful thing you can possibly imagine. It means everything out there is blissful Consciousness.
So saying the Universe is Shiva is like saying The Universe is God and God is this conscious entity, right?
Guess What Else Is A Conscious Entity
Well, me and you are also conscious entities and we are indeed the same conscious entity called Shiva or Shakti respectively.
So we’re all God.
