We Are The Universe

"The tao that can be told

is not the eternal Tao.

The name that can be named

is not the eternal Name.

The unnameable is the eternally real."

Some believe in God as a deity. Some believe there are no deities. It really doesn't matter. I don't believe in belief. God is a man made word as is deity.  Neither are right. Neither are wrong. What made us all is beyond words, beyond comprehension. IT doesn't need a label as IT just is. IT is unnameable. IT is unknowable. 

"There is a thing inherent and natural, which existed before heaven and earth. Motionless and fathomless, It stands alone and never changes; It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted. It may be regarded as the Mother of the universe. I do not know its name."

We are of the Universe. Indeed we are the Universe. Within us are the same atoms as found in the Universe. The same molecules as found in the Earth. We are one and the same thing. Haemin Sunim is his book "The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down" says this about our oneness with the Universe...

"The whole Universe is contained within an apple wedge 

within a lunch box.

Appletree, sunlight, cloud, rain, earth, air,

farmer's sweat are all in it.

Delivery truck, gas, market, money

cashier's smile are all in it.

Refrigerator, knife, cutting board,

mother's love are all in it.

Everything in the whole Universe depends

on one another.

Now think about what exists in you.

The whole universe is in us."
