This is something if you are going to read it that I ask that you take this intellectually only, because it is safer at first to hear it this way especially if you believe in God. If you don't believe in God it might work for you too in a different way to liberate your mind like a Koan can sometimes do by breaking your mind and allowing enlightenment.
Here it is:
"Did you Invent God or did God invent you?"
My heart can be at peace in the middle of this koan simply because I always experience the universe as a paradox or as an infinite sea of paradoxes.
For example, imagine you have been raised in a cave and never seen the physical sun ever. Then one day you go out of your dark cave and you see the sun for the first time. Since you have never seen the sun you have no name for the sun either yet.
Then you walk out into the sun and you see both the sun and the world around you for the very first time. So, think about it: "Did you invent the name "Sun" because it hadn't been named by you before or did the sun invent your sight that you had never had use of before this moment of being in the sun?"
Maybe Both are true at the same time.
Or maybe you might have another thought about all this entirely.
Or maybe you just got enlightened by experiencing this Koan deeply enough to see the universe as the paradox or infinite series of paradoxes that it actually is. And maybe that's a good thing.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
