Where is God?
The intricacies of flowers, the breathing cycle of all that is, from birth to death, the unseen hand of magnetism, the flight of birds, the schooling of fish, the spiraling of stars -- in the same measurable format as a snail shell-- of light, traveling from a source long gone--evolving forms of life-- all created, throughout all of all, from the same 94 elements...each creation from the reformation of what went before. Whether it is a solar system, or a dung beetle colony, the rules of God, the unknowable TAO, are clear-- and they are random; neither good nor bad-- which are ideas from our curse from the "tree of knowledge" -- we are created from a repurposing of the same basic elements that have always been, originating, during this iteration, from the stars.
Spend an hour on any good astronomy site, with Hubble photos and photos of entire galaxies, millions of them, disappearing into the unknowable...so vast that the things we see ceased to exist millions of years ago, and we are just seeing the light TRAVELLING to us, left from them--- billions of stars like our Sun. Gazillions of solar systems, black holes, gaseous planets...and after an hour, one can understand that which cannot be named.
The TAO, the unknowable infinity without time or constraints of dimension. Once digested, it becomes clear we are insignificant , out of our control and simply a speck and part of the ever reinvented flow of all things.... -- this contemplation teaches us that this vastness we cannot know, is God...and we must surrender to the fact of its flow-- because we have nothing to do with it-- as a separate entity- we ARE it, it is us... And all things are somehow connected.
We also have to gulp in apprehension, as we realize it is all neither good, nor bad. Those are human concepts. Outside of the crap we spew at each other, everything is balanced, neutral and flowing without prejudice.
