God is Free

 I want you to be happy

 

You’re a parent or a child?

 

What is a parent’s greatest wish for their children?

 

To be happy?

 

Everybody wants their children to be happy.

 

If God is,

God is our creator.

God is our Father, our Mother.

 

Thus,

What God wishes most is for us to be happy.

 

As God is great and perfect,

God has planted happiness in the very core of our being.

 

In our mind, in our heart and in our body.

 

God’s happiness has a name:

Love.

 

 *

Omniscience

 

Imagine knowing everything.

 

Knowing all, everything,

all at once.

 

Never

will we be able to answer all questions

and know everything at once.

 

We may never be able to reach that state of consciousness,

that state of grace.

 

God alone has this ineffable and invincible power

to know everything all at once.

 

Never

could we be God.

 

And yet,

for all eternity, forever and ever can we get closer to it.

 

Here and in the afterlife, on Earth and in the universe,

the eternal and the infinite are reconciled now and for all eternity.

 

You only have to see it to find out.

 

The Vision is idyllic. The Vision is heavenly.

The invincible

 

If God exists,

God is perfect and invincible.

                                                                             

Capable of everything, infinite, perfect and invincible,

God needs nothing to exist.

 

God doesn’t need the help of anything or anyone.

 

So God cannot be a slave.

 

If God is perfect, almighty and invincible,

– and God is perfect, almighty and invincible -,

then God is free.

 

If God is infinite,

God is free.

 

It is the very nature of infinity.

It cannot be otherwise.

 

God wants us in his image,

we are told.

 

Therefore,

if God were a tyrant,

what would prevent him from descending to Earth to behave as such

and make us his slaves?

 

Truth be told,

behaving like a tyrant is an admission of non divinity,

of weakness, limitations and frustrations

because indeed only those who lack the cognitive and spiritual capacities

necessary to analyze, decide and act

in wisdom, consultation and conciliation

are forced to resort to force, terror and violence

to make others bend to their will,

which is in no way related

to any divine will whatsoever.

 

Thus,

being a tyrant is an admission of weakness,

 an admission of defense, of deficiency, of frustration and ineffectiveness.

 

Even a symptom of mental illness, pure and simple.

 

Moreover,

if one cannot exercise any power if one has no one to exercise it on,

so any tyrant is necessarily a slave to himself

as well as a slave to his own slaves

 depending as much on his power

as on those over whom he exerts his domination.

 

Who could, who would dare

to say such a thing about the Divinity?

 

God cannot be a tyrant.

It is impossible.

 

If God is the perfect Spirit,

then God is free.

 

Better still,

he is its incarnation, pure and simple.

 

If God is freedom, if God is the free spirit,

then God desires, God demands freedom of the spirit,

God wants freedom of conscience.

 

Freedom.

 

Free means both unconstrained, independent

and gratis, free of charge.

 

Is there anything more wonderful?

 

Freedom is free.

It’s there, it exists,

within everyone’s reach.

 

Just look and marvel at it.

 

*

Love

 

Beyond power and wealth,

isn’t love all that keeps us alive?

 

Isn’t love the reason why

we struggle to survive every day of our lives,

all of them without exception,

even if sometimes we get lost

in this struggle which no one really understands?

 

How could God not be love

if love is the most wonderful feeling we are given to feel?

 

How could God not reveal Himself

in what is most marvelous and magnificent?

 

*

God is Joy, God is Love.

 

If God is God,

God is absolute, God is perfect.

 

If God is perfect and absolute,

then God is what is best and most wonderful.

 

What is better,

more magical and marvelous for any being

than Love and the joy of loving?

 

Thus,

how can we think, how can we dare to think

that God is not the incarnation of what is best,

most magical, most marvelous

that it is given to anyone who is and lives

 to conceive and to feel?

 

If God is,

God is Love.

 

Since Love is necessarily heartfelt and genuine,

Love is free.

 

Love is Freedom.

 

No one can be forced to love,

that’s impossible.

 

We cannot force anyone to love us,

let alone love us with true and genuine, pure and free love.

 

Likewise,

we cannot force anyone to be happy or content.

 

For Love to be, and to be pure,

Love must be heartfelt, genuine

and therefore free.

 

Like God,

love is the expression of freedom

in its purest, grandest, most wonderful form.

 

More than freedom,

love is self-realization, and the realization of the other,

a reward offered to us by our own existence.

 

You can force someone to fear you,

but you cannot force anyone to love against their will.

 

Thus,

if God is Love,

God is Freedom.

 

And vice versa.

 

If God is Freedom,

God is Love.

 

The same goes for happiness.

 

If God is Joy,

God is Freedom.

 

If God is Freedom,

God is Joy.

 

God is pure, God is absolute and infinite.

 

God is Love, Joy and Freedom.

 

Or God is not God.

 

There’s nothing stronger than that.

 

Thus,

God is incompatible with submission.

God is incompatible with tyranny.

 

It is impossible.

 

God is the absolute opposite of tyranny.

 

Can’t you see?

 

It’s so obvious.

It’s as clear as pure, peaceful water.

 

*

Love light.

 

Light makes visible that which is not light.

 

Light illuminates.

 

When light shines,

it touches everything and everyone

without discrimination.

 

Light is visible.

 

Light is vital.

 

Still,

you can’t grasp light with your hands.

 

Light is what it is.

 

You can’t cheat with light,

you can’t cheat with the real world,

you can’t cheat with what is, what you feel.

 

The same goes for love.

 

Because one cannot love anyone against their will,

because you cannot manufacture love,

love is or love is not.

 

If Love is to be sincere and heartfelt,

then Love is Freedom.

 

The arguments that go in this direction

are too numerous to count.

 

If God is, God is invincible.

If God is, God is freedom.

If God is, God is love.

 

*

Divine non-intervention.

 

That is why God leaves us alone and does not intervene

to stop those who act badly and destroy God’s creation, God’s creations.

 

Because we are free to love to see the light, to enjoy and blossom,

or to hate, to condemn to hell on this Earth,

to hate, to sink, to curse, to suffer.

 

God leaves us free to decide for ourselves,

to decide to destroy and harm God’s work,

or to cherish and protect it.

 

Free to go towards love or towards hate.

 

Free to see or not to see

the wonders of Creation:

 

Galaxies, stars, planets, love, others, oneself,

life, the infinite, the eternal…

 

Without deep adherence,

nothing exists.

 

What we call faith is an act of love.

 

Love is an assertion of freedom.

So is faith.

 

God is genuine.

God is consciousness.

God is wisdom.

God is everything.

God is harmony and freedom.

 

God, if God exists,

will never force mankind to understand or love God.

 

For if God exists,

God knows that.

 

God therefore leaves us the choice

either to hate and destroy each other

out of greed, domination, hatred, ignorance, submission and violence,

or to live with intelligence in peace, harmony, wisdom, freedom,

greatness, humility and bliss.

 

God gives us the chance to choose

the way of wisdom, love and salvation, understanding and intelligence,

or not.

 

The chance to open your eyes, to see the light and to love in wonderment,

or not.

 

What the Divine offers us is the freedom to choose

life, love, wisdom, intelligence, harmony and bliss,

to open our eyes on to the infinite.

 

Nothing else.

 

And yet, infinity is everything, isn’t it?

Even nothing. Even nothingness.

Especially nothingness.

 

So what God offers us is certainly not the freedom

to abuse, manipulate, steal, tyrannize, injure, or kill innocent people,

to put others through hell,

and above all to put oneself through hell.

 

Destroying life

is slaughtering, ransacking, harming, trashing the divine work,

no more and no less.

 

What is your choice?

*

Proselytizing tyranny and almightiness is paradoxical in the eyes of God.

 

Once again,

if God wanted us to impose our belief in Him on others, ,

then what would prevent him from coming down to earth

to accomplish his own will?

Is God invincible and all-powerful or not?

 

So God doesn’t want us to believe in him blindly and superficially,

but to doubt, to question, to seek, to see,

to fulfill ourselves in the humanity which he willed us to be incarnated in

for us to deeply and sincerely love.

 

For belief is an obstacle to knowledge and power.

 

A madman who believes he has superhero immunity to cancer

while smoking three packs of cigarettes a day is in great danger.

 

Another who would think that God speaks to him in the night

and would ask him to exterminate or rape half of humanity

is of course a danger for all humanity and for himself first,

not to mention the opprobrium

he would bring on the name of God himself.

 

Or else whoever imagines that he can fly away just by flapping his arms

is destined to suffer serious fractures and concussions.

 

Verily,

to affirm that God wants us to impose our belief in Him on others,

is equivalent to affirming that the greatest probability is that God does not exist.

For then, being almighty,

why would he not impose his will on us himself,

he who by nature and by definition can do anything?

 

Thus,

if God exists,

then his will is that no belief be imposed on anyone

and that everyone be free

to believe, or not, to see, or not, to know, or not.

Infinity’s Children 

 

At the origin of all origins

lies the mystery of nothingness,

of nothing and everything, of this indefinable emptiness

that extends everywhere, no matter which way you look,

farther than you can imagine,

in a dimension beyond our own space-time-material dimension.

 

Infinity,

nothingness gives birth to matter, the universe,

the universes, the sun, the earth and life, all possibilities,

from the simple to the incomprehensible,

from the infinitely large to the infinitely small.

 

Infinity,

mother’s womb of the world…

 

Infinite nothingness

which will always be infinitely more immense

than the universe itself, than all the universes combined,

forever and ever.

 

How amazing.

 

From the perspective of infinity,

the universe, immeasurable to our eyes,

is in truth infinitesimal.

 

The relative distance we put between ourselves and dust mites, for example,

is nothing compared to our infinitesimal insignificance

with regard to the universe and everything beyond.

 

Like it or not,

the universe is the child of infinity.

And so is humanity.

 

How humbling, how heightening, how mind-blowing.

 

Whether God is or is not,

the question is not so much whether God is infinite,

but whether infinity is divine.

 

For the infinite and the eternal proceed from nothing

and escape from the temporal.

 

Like God.

 

Humanity now knows that Infinity exists.

 

If God is God,

God is infinite as much as infinity is Godly.

 

We are all children of infinity.

 

All species combined, we all are,

each and every one of us,

 as much as stardust,

children of infinity.

 

*

The Revolution has already begun.

 

A quiet revolution

supported by the scientific knowledge of its existence

has already begun but is not yet complete.

 

Its completion will be a miracle.

 

Understanding that infinity is divine

at least as much as divinity is infinite

is a universal conceptual breakthrough

that will revolutionize humankind.

 

It will be accomplished,

or we will die for not accomplishing it.

 

*

If God is,

then God is the Creator.

 

The infinite Divinity created us.

 

Creator by definition, and invincible in addition,

God loves us all.

 

How could it be otherwise?

 

If God is Love, God is Freedom,

and his love is divine, divine to infinity.

 

God is divine.

God is infinitely perfect.

 

What the Creator has created comes from God’s Love.

 

Think about it:

If God exists, God is the Creator.

He loves us all, without exception.

 

With the same feelings that parents have for their babies,

or an artist for his or her creations,

when something or someone hurts them or murders them,

destroys them for no reason,

they suffer very, very, very deeply.

 

In truth, if He exists,

God loves us at least as much as He loves Himself.

 

Do you realize that?

 

If God exists,

God is Infinite, God is Love, God is Freedom,

God is a blessing for Humanity.

 

Perfect Entity, Perfect Spirit, Perfect Omniscience,

whatever name you give him, or her, or them,

God is a miracle, not a nightmare!

 

If God exists,

God is a miracle,

not a curse!

 

A blessing,

not a damnation!

 

Or God isn’t God.

 

We will most likely never have absolute certainty

as to whether or not God exists.

 

Does it really matter?

 

While we will never be 100% sure whether God exists or not,

does this question really need an answer?

 

The question is,

 if God exists, who is God?

 

The answer is almighty clear.

 

If God exists, God is infinite.

 

God is necessarily, undeniably the Infinite.

The infinite is everything. The infinite is everywhere.

 

If God exists,

God exists in all that God has created,

one and multiple to infinity.

 

As an artist reveals him or herself through his or her work of art,

as an artist opens a door and enlightens

his or her own mind, feelings and deepest being when he or she creates,

the universe is a masterpiece

with infinite forms, dynamics and possibilities

through which God offers us the gift of seeing His or Her Beauty,

the beauty of the universe, which is the same thing.

 

Infinity is a revelation,

infinity is a revolution,

a major evolution in human consciousness.

 

As there are no limits to the universe, or the ‘multiverse’,

there are no limits to God.

 

If God exists, God is perfection.

If God exists, God is everything, God is infinite.

 

If God is infinite,

God is everything.

 

Infinity, like God,

is thus incarnated in the absolute and the eternal,

but also in that which is relative and with limits,

in all that which is human non-human.

 

The infinite is thus incarnated in everything that exists,

big or small, human or not, from the insect to the sun,

in everything that is, was and will be.

 

*

Miracle

 

We’re looking for miracles,

when there are miracles within us

that outshine and will outshine all others,

until the end of time, to the endless ending of eternity,

forever and ever.

 

The miracle of life.

The miracle of consciousness.

The miracle of love.

 

*

Life harmony, divine harmony.

 

God is everything.

God is absolute,

God is incomprehensible.

 

Being everything,

infinity reveals itself in everything.

 

If God exists and all that exists is God’s creation,

if life is a miracle of balances and harmonies,

then God is a miracle of balances and harmonies.

 

Why do you think God created the universe?

 

To see it transformed into a nightmarish hell of chaos,

suffering, torture, tragedy, violence, gratuitous cruelty and all kinds of aberrations,

each more inhuman and unjust than the next?

 

Or to see it evolve into a human garden,

harmonious, fertile, simple, open, full of wisdom, justice, mutual aid and understanding?

 

What invincible and almighty, all-knowing and loving Deity

could have created a miracle to turn it into a curse?

 

Open your mind, open your eyes, open your heart.

 

God is the universe,

all that it contains and all that is beyond,

endless and boundless infinities..

 

God is Harmony, God is Freedom.

God is Harmony of freedoms,

God is freedom of harmonies.

 

*

The origins

 

From nothing and nowhere,

from the depths of infinity

and beyond all that can be imagined,

the universe was created.

 

A miraculous harmony gives birth to life and Consciousness.

 

A harmony as beautiful as life is a miracle.

 

Life,

the most precious creation in the eyes of the Divine.

 

See with the eye of your mind the infinity of all things.

 

The universality of infinity is a very strange thing.

 

It is at the same time one and inaccessible,

invisible to the senses alone and yet contained in everything,

from the particles of your own heart and everything else at the same time,

from quarks, atoms, to plants, to their sap, to our blood,

from matter to living beings, insects, animals, human beings,

galaxies, the universe, the infinite, infinities,

both within and beyond our universe.

 

Whatever our religions or beliefs,

our class, our profession, our status, our identity, our culture, our nation,

whoever we are, we all live on the same planet Earth,

in the same galaxy, in the same cosmos,

we are all governed by the same physical and metaphysical laws,

we are all in the same fabric of infinities

which intersect and intertwine in a dynamic, interdimensional way,

from the infinitely small to the infinitely large, and everything in between,

harmonious even in opposites, from quantum to cosmic scales…

 

…It is a miracle that defies imagination.

 

The potentials of life and the living are as infinite as God,

one and multiple at the same time, infinitely diverse.

 

It is only through the mind, only through consciousness

 that we can apprehend, feel and visualize infinities of infinities.

 

If the mind alone can see an infinite divinity and/or a divine infinity,

then God can only be seen with the eye of the mind.

 

If the infinity of God can only be seen through the spirit,

or I might even say through the grace of the spirit,

to use brute and brutal force to impose your own idea of God upon others

is to do the opposite of God’s will.

 

God is Love and Spirit,

Love and Spirit are accessible to the human spirit

only through its most sincere and authentic adherence.

 

Thus,

to kill, even in the name of God, the spirit,

whoever God may be, is a crime in the eyes of God.

 

And probably even more.

 

Only to a mind,

a form of consciousness,

the infinite is unveiled.

 

Except for God,

biological life is necessary for the emergence of the mind,

prerequisite to see the infinite.

 

If God exists,

God is the creator.

 

God is Life as much as Life is God.

And Life is what is most precious to God.

 

Thus,

to kill, and what’s more, kill innocent people,

is a crime in the eyes of God.

 

Participating in God’s Spirit and creation

is done in and through authenticity, sincerity, love, intelligence,

humility, greatness and freedom,

freedom to see and learn,

freedom to be filled with joy by the wonders of this world,

by and for oneself, by and for others,

freedom to be blessed with the gift of existing

and to see the miracles of Life, Love and Creation

that expand to infinity and reach into eternity,

from the infinitesimal to the infinite,

in the simple and sublime consciousness

of wisdom, greatness, courage, beauty, wonderment,

the infinity of possibilities

 of the divine Work.

 

And by no means the other way around.

 

God didn’t give birth to the universe to create hell.

That’s clear.

 

God gives us life.

 

We do what we do with it.

 

There’s nothing God wants more than our liberation.

Our joy to live, to see, to love, to feel.

 

All God wants is to set us free.

 

As nothingness was freed from darkness

by an incomprehensible and eminently superior work,

all that God wishes is to free us from the shadows

by shining light.

 

*

The time has come

 

If God exists, God cannot but be infinite.

If God exists, God cannot but be perfect and invincible.

If God exists, God cannot but be love.

If God exists, God cannot but be freedom.

 

The historical time has come

to become aware of it, and to become aware of it together.

 

Humanity is ripe for that.

 

*

* * *

*

 

As soon as you believe in something

that cannot be proven,

a line has been crossed:

 

You can believe in everything and anything.

 

Insanity

has already taken possession of your mind.

 

*

Doubt as a principle of certainty

 

Whether in the so-called hard sciences or the humanities,

from mathematics to philosophy, from humanism to robotics,

from economics to astrophysics,

from having to being, from the material to the spiritual,

from religion to politics, from ecology to life,

from the world to oneself and from oneself to the world,

doubt is, and must be, the primary scientific foundation.

 

This principle of the scientific method,

 enunciated by Descartes,

is what has made possible the development of science

and, to a certain degree, the sociological, political and human progress

that humanity in general, and the West in particular,

has known since the Renaissance in the sixteenth century.

 

If I think there’s a snake in front of me,

when what’s in front of me is actually a rope,

and that I refuse to reason with myself, to doubt my perception, my original idea,

 that I refuse to look twice before I rule, before I judge and convict,

by stubbornly clinging to my blind faith

that what’s before me is a snake and not just a rope,

then I will never be able to see that what I believe to be a serpent

is in reality a mere rope,

then I will never be able to attain to the simple and luminous truth.

 

This is the analogy often used by Buddhists

to demonstrate the absurdity of mental illusion.

 

Religious belief,

when blindly adhered to,

is also an illusion.

 

It is all the more dangerous

in that one can make an almighty God say what one wants,

and turn a God of peace and mercy into a God of war and madness,

a God of hatred and violence, an arbitrary God, a tyrant God,

that can serve one’s selfish and personal desires.

 

God cannot be a tyrant.

Let alone a slave to anyone.

 

It is impossible.

 

Any almighty entity is invincible.

 

Almighty and invincible,

God is free.

 

Necessarily.

 

By definition,

freedom is the opposite of tyranny.

 

Likewise,

blind belief is the opposite of freedom.

 

Whether religious or otherwise,

 a blind belief is characteristic of the darkest of deviations,

 all the more unjust and tyrannical

as the number of those who are swept away

by the monstrous, inhuman, tyrannical deviation increases.

 

As soon as it becomes tyrannical,

belief becomes a deviant and demented, inhuman dogma.

 

The fact that a man tells you a gun to your head

that an alien has asked him to kill you

because you do not believe as he does in the alien in question

will immediately make you aware

of that man’s blind madness.

 

In the case of a monotheistic religion,

God is absolute.

 

It is this absolute and all-powerful, invincible character

which, paradoxically to the magic of the idea

of an absolute and absolutely benevolent God

makes religions extremely dangerous and fratricidal.

 

When in the minds of men,

God becomes intransigent, negative, murderous, and destructive,

then all crimes are possible, even the most abject ones.

 

If it is the almighty God who says so,

what can you answer?

 

Thus,

all the criticisms or limits

posed to religious dogma and religious dogmatists

become dangerous obstacles

that the tyrants of dogma must eliminate

by all possible means, even murder.

 

On September 12, 2016 in France,

a 26-year-old man kills his own mother

because she did not want him to go to Syria to fight the Jihad.

 

His own mother!

 

Is there anything else than a demon to kill his own mother,

to be so cruel, blind and stubborn?

 

Thus,

to tame the religious fact,

one must understand what state of mind

grips the dogmatic and tyrannical fanatic

and grasp how it works.

 

It is necessary to understand

what is going on in the mind of those

who believe that they are invested with the power of life and death over others

that they believe God gives them.

 

To understand that,

we must also understand the power of God.

 

God cannot be unjust.

It is impossible.

 

No God gives, has given or will ever give

the power to kill or torture innocent people.

 

Alas,

fanatics sometimes believe the opposite.

 

Because in one way or another,

it suits them

because it allows them to avoid having to face themselves.

 

The more disordered our lives are,

the more difficult it is for us to confront ourselves, to cope,

 the more difficult it is to avoid falling

into a sectarian, closed, evil and malevolent aberration,

because then sectarian dogma offers us ready-made theoretical reasons

for not having to face our own fate

 and for shifting the responsibility for the whole world’s misery,

including our own,

onto others.

 

Whether religious, political or even cultural,

the temptation to adhere to sectarian ideology

is all the stronger the more widespread it is in the community.

 

The pressure of numbers becoming the law,

the dynamics of mimicry and contagion of aberrations

spread like a virus

among humans in contact with this community,

which cuts itself off from the universal,

therefore from other human beings,

therefore from God and infinity itself.

 

This community and the people who make it up

therefore nourish resentment and hatred towards the Other,

whom they tend to blame for all the evils that overwhelm them

without any further need to question themselves

since the culprit has already been found guilty.

 

This is the simple and, nowadays well-understood tendency of scapegoating.

 

It goes without saying that the inhuman and tyrannical drift

 is even more pronounced

when this divisive, anti-universal and condemning ideology

is at the same time religious, political and cultural.

 

As we have said,

this is true for all ideologies

with dogmatic, tyrannical, liberticidal tendencies,

be they religious, political, economic and so on….

 

*

Doubt as a principle of certainty

(continued)

 

Before certainty

comes doubt, questioning.

 

Certainty

proceeds from doubt, from questioning,

from the awakening of consciousness.

 

Necessarily.

 

Since to certainty the prerequisite is doubt,

deep, sincere and authentic questioning is the indispensable prerequisite

 for any genuine knowledge and true love of the Divine.

 

The absolutism of one perfect and unique God is problematic

 as soon as it is set up as an absolute ideal

to which one would have to devote a forced and blind belief

next to which no human or living being

bears any comparison, any mercy, any compassion.

 

You can always condition someone,

and you can always condition yourself

 that cholera is a sexually transmitted disease

 and is not caused by the contamination of the water we drink

 and thus prohibit all sexual intercourse,

but there’s no way it’s going to stop the progression of the disease,

since that is not the truth.

 

Likewise,

one can always condition someone to believe

that god is a yellow elephant sitting in the sky,

and even, like a child who loves his imaginary friends, to love him,

but you can never force anyone to really know him and his real will,

because that is not the truth.

 

Thus,

if doubt precedes certainty,

doubt precedes faith.

 

Thus,

if questioning precedes all certainty,

no one can know God without ever having questioned God.

 

*

An absolute God,

An absolute and absolutely perfect God.

 

God

is either an inspiration to which we can all aspire

ever more, ever more intensely, sincerely and immensely,

 

or, on the contrary,

an object of power, an instrument of submission,

 as merciless as God is absolute,

which one uses, whoever one is,

 to assert one’s selfish, self-centered, narcissistic, covetous and greedy human power.

 

All the more so since the great error of the religions of the book,

i.e. the three monotheisms that are Judaism, Christianity and Islam,

is that they depict a God who is an absolute point of reference

whose perfection is inaccessible or almost inaccessible to ordinary mortals,

next to whom every human being is an insect

that can thus be killed without any mercy.

 

As we have said,

what we do not know will always be infinitely greater

than what we know.

 

Therefore,

if God is a perfect reference, he is a direction,

never an injunction.

 

For indeed, by nature and by definition,

 even though it is certainly possible to be inspired

by the Divine and to incarnate the Divine Spirit,

no human being can be God.

 

If we are human, then we are not divine,

in any case not before we realize,

nor as much as when we have realized,

that we ‘partake’ of the divine.

 

It is so easy

when we take perfection as an absolute point of reference

to condemn to ungodliness and heresy anyone who is not perfect

while by nature and by definition no one on this Earth is perfect.

 

If He exists,

for humanity and for humans,

God is an inspiration,

not a condemnation.

 

*

Doubt as a principle of certainty

(continued)

 

The problem with an absolute God

is that there is no room for doubt.

 

However,

since certainty necessarily comes from questioning, and therefore doubt,

then doubt is the obligatory precondition for any form of freedom.

 

Thus,

doubt is the absolute prerequisite

for certainty, autonomy and freedom.

 

Thus,

if God is infinity and freedom,

if God is infinitely free,

then God leaves room for doubt.

 

For once again,

if God is Love,

God wants us to love Him and to love His work fully,

with all our hearts of hearts and with all our being,

without being blindly forced to do so.

 

This is yet another new reason why God does not intervene in our affairs.

 

It is indeed absolutely necessary, inevitable, even inescapable

for truth and certainty to be attained,

 for our conscience to grow and rise to Him,

that from the depths of ourselves, from the depths of our hearts and minds,

fully and unreservedly, we ask ourselves questions,

and therefore doubt.

 

Because what we don’t know is infinite,

the unknown is the gateway to infinity.

 

Indeed,

in front of the infinite divinity and divine infinity,

all we do not know is the window,

better, the open horizon on the infinity of possibilities.

 

Therefore,

our very ignorance is an open door to infinity

and thus God himself.

 

We would still have to be humbled

by the fact that our ignorance before Him

is indeed infinite.

 

In other words,

Socrates’s famous phrase,

“The only thing I know is that I know nothing”,

is the starting point for all real knowledge.

 

*

Metaphysics

 

Yet,

just like Infinity itself, just like God himself,

the Truth is right in front of our eyes, in us and all around us.

 

Magnificence

of metaphysical, philosophical, spiritual, scientific, empirical grace,

whatever we call the world, the manifestations of the living,

is all at once elusive, incomprehensible

 and yet offered up to consciousness,

to understanding, to intelligence and knowledge…

 

Constantly discovering

its most beautiful curves, its most beautiful features,

 which constantly and ever more magnificently reveal themselves,

amaze and enchant us…

 

…is in a way the definition of the practice of metaphysics.

 

Metaphysics as the science of what is,

and the science of what is not:

 

Science of the visible,

concrete, quantifiable, measurable, namable, identifiable, physical and astrophysical,

material reality and all their possible manifestations and interactions;

 

And science of all that is invisible,

abstract, priceless, unquantifiable, immeasurable,

all that relates to the spiritual, psychological, sociological etc.

and all their possible manifestations and interactions.

 

Multifaceted reality,

if you see what I mean.

 

I’m sure you see it, too.

 

At least you can see it with me,

better even than I can.

I can see that.

 

It only takes a little to see.

 

That nothing is divine.

And yet it is nothing.

 

Does justice itself have a concrete, hard, material form,

that one can touch with one’s finger and weigh, measure, quantify?

 

Absolutely not.

 

And yet,

that does not mean that justice does not exist.

 

And yet

humanist and universal justice shows us the way.

 

It is clear and simple to understand.

 

Just turn your eyes to it.

 

*

Life is divine

 

It is a grace of the mind, intelligence and consciousness

to be aware of what is and what is not,

knowing that all that is possible is as infinitely possible

as each of the possible is infinitely improbable.

 

It is a fantastic grace.

 

Like infinity,

if grace exists,

grace is, in any case, ‘divine’.

 

Whether God is or is not,

we are talking here about the miracle of life.

 

Whether God exists or not,

God has never asked for anything and will never ask for anything,

 because, if God exists, God is perfect and needs nothing.

 

God has no need to reveal Himself to humankind,

but humanity would need to reveal itself to itself.

 

One more time,

we’ll reverse the syntax and reasoning:

 

God is not as much a miracle as the miracle of life is divine.

 

Whether God exists or not,

life is a miracle.

 

It is a fact.

 

If it is a fact that life is a miracle,

therefore, life is sacred.

 

This is enough to give life a new dimension, a miraculous dimension,

where what is and what is not are very relative values,

and where, in the absolute and at any time,

one can become the other:

 

What is may no longer be,

and what is not be born.

 

Which commands wonder and creates a state of mind

 where trust and enchantment prevail.

 

At any moment one may become the other,

at any moment what is may no longer be,

and what is not may be born.

 

The Divine is therefore probably not so much a miracle

as the miracle is divine.

 

This correspondence between the known and the unknown,

between the possible and the impossible,

the one and the multiple, the relative and the infinite,

is just magical and magnificent.

 

Whether there is a perfect God or Divinity,

in the beyond, also perfect, or not,

is an answerless question.

 

But life exists.

 

Life,

on this earth and beyond,

here and now, everywhere and always, until the end of time.

 

If you do not see properly, please look,

hear this prayer.

 

If a Deity exists,

then this is a divine prayer.

 

Look, and see,

for it is about the survival

of thousands and thousands of life forms

that are as many miracles.

 

*

To be born into this world

 

How can a world that doesn’t welcome the living

 receive newcomers?

 

When you arrive in the world

and there’s no space for everyone,

when humans and humankind, the living and the world

are excluded and rejected, ostracized and thus condemned,

when there’s only room for the one percent,

in the East and in the West,

in both the northern and southern hemispheres,

how can young people give shape to their souls

by making their dreams, and their lives and their destinies come true?

 

In the North, in the West,

jobs are scarce and the future is darkening.

 

In the East, in the South,

suffering and misery, mutual exclusion, violence and war

are already chronic.

 

How can young people get by and find hope

in a world that slams the door on them,

almost systematically and instantly,

 from the moment they are born?

 

It’s a terrible thing.

 

*

Peacefulness in the world

 

The urgency to change the world

is becoming obvious to more and more of us.

 

And yet,

changing the world does not mean making it more violent and chaotic.

 

Changing the world means pacifying it.

Making it more peaceful and in harmony.

 

If God exists, surely, that is God’s wish.

Better yet, that is his design.

 

My dear Muslim brothers and sisters,

how can some hope to impose a vision of God

while their theology is neither appeased nor reconciled?

 

And what is more through violence?

 

Violence is probably the first human problem since the dawn of time:

not only does violence exacerbate the world’s problems

 but on top of that,

we’re going astray, we’re leading all of humanity astray

from its destiny.

 

We’re turning the world away from the only monster to bring down:

the tyranny of money over the world.

 

Divided,

we are dividing the world.

 

As a result of our own divisions?

 

When Muhammad dies,

peace and joy on his heart,

a war of succession started and hasn’t stopped ever since.

 

He then had two contenders for his succession:

 

Aisha’s father,

Abu Bakr;

 

or Ali,

Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law at the same time.

 

Since then, The Sunnis, supporters of Abu Bakr,

and the Chi’ites, supporters of Ali, have been tearing each other apart.

 

Who’s wrong? Who’s right?

That’s not what we’re talking about here.

 

Likewise,

the differences between these two branches of Islam

have multiplied over time,

but that’s not the point either.

 

The point is, it is so, isn’t it?

 

A family war has been raging on

since the origins of the Muslim faith

when the Prophet had just died.

       

Could division be synonymous with the universal?

 

Certainly not.

 

How could any ideology or religion

impose its world view by force to the whole world?

 

How could a religion

that has always been divided impose its vision on the world?

 

When Islamic dogmatism criminalizes, oppresses, and murders

anything that doesn’t conform to the way it sees the world,

our Muslim brothers and sisters are the first victims.

 

Would Muhammad himself have wanted that?

 

Never will bloodthirsty bestiality touch grace.

 

Never shall any maleficence,

blind and senseless, in the highest degree,

reach the divine.

 

Hear, all of us, let us hear:

 

The Universal can only call for union.

 

Under no circumstances,

will He ever appeal to Division.

 

*

Let’s make peace

 

The pacification of the world also requires the pacification of Islam,

the pacification of the Muslim world towards itself.

 

What if Muhammad, or God, through him,

had left a legacy of ordeal?

 

A trial whose outcome

would be the perpetuation of the word of Muhammad himself.

 

Truth always liberates.

It never imprisons.

 

Brothers and sisters of the whole world,

let us make peace.

 

Let us be peaceful

and the world will be greatly improved.

 

When dream and reality meet,

they are fertile of a superior quality.

 

They carry within themselves a new dimension,

 like a door, a path, a direction opening onto a new world.

 

Harmony

is the only way,

the only possible salvation.

 

It is not a supposition, it is not a theory, it is not a superstition,

it is an absolute certainty.

 

The South and the North, the North and the South

must absolutely seek harmony, so that planet Earth can be balanced,

so that the fruits of harmony spread and multiply

in a creative delight, an active process, an exponential dynamic to infinity…

 

Because it’s the only hope we have left.

 

Life itself.

 

Restoring hope for the young is restoring hope for the future.

 

Hope in ourselves.

 

Universal harmony only can fulfill this miracle.

 

Whatever his name is, if God exists,

then that’s what God wants from his heart of hearts.

 

Verily, I say unto you,

 if He created us, then that is why He, God, created us.

 

All of us,

past, present and future,

dead or alive.

 

See.

That’s all it takes.

Recognize it, meet it, see it and look at it:

planetary harmony.

 

To see is to discover.

To see is to reveal.

 

All important realizations, all important revelations

radically change one’s existence.

 

Everybody knows that.

 

Would we be the same

without our realizations, without our awakenings?

 

It’s obvious:

No one with a long experience of realizations

would have the life that they have

 without having had any of their realizations.

 

Would we be the same

if we were to become aware of a new reality,

a higher dimension, a major change?

 

Certainly not.

 

See,

that’s all it takes,

that’s all that’s necessary.

 

*

Does God exist?

 

Basically,

since it is impossible to settle the question,

what would it change?

 

Some will continue to believe,

some will continue to doubt and some will continue to not believe at all.

 

There may be no God as we understand it, no heaven, no hell.

 

It does not matter.

Life itself is divine.

 

There is something divine in this world.

 

Awareness of life and of oneself.

Love.

 

The miracle is total, absolute!

 

*

Does God exist?

(Continued)

 

If one can doubt the existence of God himself,

 one can in no way doubt the existence of infinity.

 

Denying the existence of infinity

would in any case be denying the existence of a Divine entity.

 

By nature,

infinity is everywhere,

the Infinite transcends everything.

 

Here and now, everywhere and all the time,

in everything, in the smallest of particles

which make us who we are, us and the whole universe,

not only carry infinity within themselves,

but they’re also filled with amazing energy,

the atomic bomb being the irrefutable and very tangible proof

of the power of the infinitely small.

       

At the heart of the infinitely small

also seems to unfurl way further than the eye can see,

beyond measure and beyond comprehension:

infinity.

 

Before time, before the first nanosecond,

there was already timelessness, eternity, the eternal.

 

If infinity exists,

infinity is necessarily the first ingredient

of all that exists, has existed and will ever exist.

 

Beyond space and time,

infinity exists and gives birth to the space-time universe.

 

Like infinity, light exists.

 

Ungraspable

but real, beneficial and fertile,

light shines on everyone without any exception,

without any exclusion, without any discrimination, without any condemnation.

 

Like light in our relative spatiotemporal dimension,

the infinite and the eternal touch everything and everyone.

 

Uncreated because they have always existed and will always exist,

they are because they are.

It cannot be otherwise.

 

There is

in every moment that passes, a part of the eternal, however fleeting,

in every space, a part of infinity, however small.

 

There is in everything that exists a part of infinity,

 even in matter, in the very smallest, the very least particle.

 

It’s a scientific truth.

 

Not only before and after,

but also now and everywhere at the same time,

absolutely on all sides, from all around,

all the time, at the same time,

infinity surrounds us, infinity carries us.

 

We are all of us

sons and daughters of infinity.

 

Children of life,

we are children of the eternal and the infinite.

 

The light of the infinite is reflected in our consciousness and mind.

 

The light of the mind shines in the mirror of the infinite,

and vice versa.

 

Life is a magical, sacred offering.

 

Like consciousness, love, and wonder,

life is a miracle.

 

Whether He exists or doesn’t,

it’s all the same.

 

All of this exists.

 

*

See the light

 

Without a gaze, no light exists.

 

Why would light exist

if there was nothing and no one to see it?

 

Would light exist

if there was nothing and no one to see it?

 

If God exists,

would God have created light

so that it would light up nothing and no one?

 

Don’t all complex life forms have eyes to see?

 

Life is a window,

a horizon towards immeasurable infinity,

from the incomprehensible and inexplicable reconciliation of all opposites

which, in the very fact that It exists,

shows us that it is possible.

 

Open our eyes to the Light,

open your eyes to Infinity.

 

More than possible,

on the edge of the end, on the edge of infinity,

it’s inevitable,

it’s a matter of survival.

 

*

The Realm

 

Thus,

is it not better to seek to touch the infinite on this earth,

is it not better to seek to improve ourselves constantly,

in the freedom to do so, in intelligence,

wisdom, benevolence, greatness, meekness and wonder,

is it not better to seek to perfect ourselves forever,

as long as we exist,

than to seek to reach a paradise after death,

 which is by definition uncertain, and in many respects, imaginary?

 

A heaven

sometimes defined according to very temporal, arbitrary criteria,

or even as a justification for crime and injustice.

 

Would the perfect being be so imperfect

as to reward crime and injustice?

 

If there is an afterlife and a form of heaven,

so it is here and now that we prepare for that future.

 

It is working for wisdom, justice and humanism, here and now, on Earth,

that opens the gates to infinity.

 

And vice versa.

 

When the gates to infinity open in your mind,

then you open the gates of wisdom, harmony, humanism and justice.

 

It is by opening the gates to infinity

that you open the gates to heaven.

 

Is heaven infinite?

 

If heaven is infinite,

is there enough room for hell?

 

Isn’t paradise God’s kingdom,

therefore infinite as He is?

 

How could God be infinite

if His realm was not infinite?

 

So, if Heaven exists,

it is surely as infinite as God is,

as infinite as infinity itself.

 

It must be said again:

 

If heaven is infinite,

is there any room for hell?

 

If there is no space for hell in God’s infinite kingdom,

would there nevertheless be any space in heaven for the unrighteous?

 

Surely

it is not by deceiving God

so as to steal His word and distort it

that anyone can access infinity or paradise.

 

Surely

it is not by spreading tyranny, injustice, crime and murderous madness

in the name of God Himself,

that anyone will open the gates to his jewel, to his realm,

neither here on earth nor in the afterlife.

 

It is not by snatching the word of God

to spread tyranny, injustice, inhumanity, suffering and crime,

that anyone can reach heaven or infinity.

 

Surely it is not by killing innocent people

that God will reward anyone with any virgins ready for anything

to please the guilty.

 

That’s purely and simply impossible.

 

*

Heaven on Earth?

 

In the name of a completely idealized imaginary afterlife somewhere else,

sometimes religious people sacrifice life and any chance of grace

here and now on Earth,

in this very present, very real, very sensitive life.

 

For monotheistic believers,

the afterlife is sacred.

It is a fact.

It is the kingdom of the Most High.

 

Alas,

when the afterlife is more sacred than reality,

the name of the afterlife can then be invoked

to destroy, desecrate, defile

all forms of earthly, human and universal reality.

 

And too often heaven is acquired

at the expense of what is here and now, on Earth,

at this time, in this space-time.

 

By the promise of heaven or the threat of hell,

the afterlife is instrumentalized to become an evil weapon

by definition incompatible with the Kingdom and the Spirit of God.

 

Is it because the dogma, the letter

supersedes the Spirit and possesses the spirits?

Is it to satisfy selfish personal needs?

Is it for God?

 

Or is it for all of these all at once?

 

It is so much harder

to open your eyes, to reflect, to be free

than to repeat by heart, don’t you think?

 

If we carry on like this

in ignorance, violence, erroneousness and blindness,

humanity will soon have no God at all, no heaven left, nothing at all,

because there will be no one left to go there

or even to want to go there.

 

There will be no one left

to invoke anything or anyone.

 

What will have been accomplished for God

if we were to fight each other and wipe ourselves out

in the name of God Himself?

 

Rather than speaking on His behalf,

let us put ourselves in His position, let us feel what He is feeling,

and perhaps we will get an idea of what God feels

and what God wills.

 

Between dogmatism and decadence,

we have to find the middle way that will reconcile the opposites,

which are opposite on the surface only.

 

At the scales of the universe, of matter, and beyond,

opposites and contraries are reconciled and coexist.

 

Within matter,

atoms have positive values (protons) and negative values (electrons),

which form a coherent whole,

whose values cannot exist at all without each other,

without which, incidentally, nothing would exist.

 

We can therefore overcome our oppositions and contradictions

only by ascending to a higher scale.

 

Accessing it means going beyond them,

going beyond them means accessing it.

 

This scale is the Earth.

 

Which surrounds us on all sides, which magnifies everything,

as soon as we open our eyes to the existing light

which gives meaning to life, like light itself,

Earth is a window to the Infinite.

 

Only consciousness can have access to significance and transcendence,

to freedom and liberty.

 

We are at a crossroads:

 

To cure ourselves of the curse,

or to die.

 

Whether heaven exists or not in the afterlife,

if in the origins, Earth was an Eden, as we are told,

then making Earth a Garden of Eden again

is undoubtedly what will open the gates to Heaven.

 

*

To be human or to be no more.

 

Never can the disappearance of the children of God

be the will of a God who is by nature perfect and perfectly free.

 

God did not create the universe, the Earth and the human race

for the sake of destroying them.

 

To assert this would be a total insult to God.

Or worse.

 

A God by definition perfect cannot be sadistic.

He cannot be sadistic.

Or he is not God.

 

Must God be revealed again?

Yes.

That’s a certainty.

 

Never will God have wished

this sad end for the human race,

tragic and terrible end that we risk so much,

and even less that we accomplish it in His name.

 

Should it come to pass,

we’ll only owe our demise,

the disappearance of humankind,

to ourselves.

 

We have said it before, but we must say it again:

 

The disappearance of God’s children

can never be the will of a God by nature perfect and perfectly free.

 

If God is perfect and free and just,

then his ultimate design is not for humankind to self-destruct.

 

Impossible.

 

For then God would be neither perfect, nor just, nor free.

Then he would not be God.

 

If God exists,

then his ultimate goal is a perfect, free and fair universe.

 

A balanced world,

a world in symbiosis,

a world in harmony.

 

Not tyranny, not madness, not greed, not injustice, not inhumanity,

not the worst kind of unequal slavery, not a world at war with itself…

 

And if God’s greatest offering

was his own existence?

 

Not a liturgy of prohibitions and condemnations,

of unfair and arbitrary punishment, summary and bloody executions,

but a God of conscience and freedom,

a God of wisdom, tolerance and justice,

a God of love and wonder and humanity.

 

And if God’s greatest offering

was His Own Existence, Itself?

 

Whether you answer yes or no,

what difference would it make?

 

Would life be less sacred,

and the infinite less divine?

 

*

Mother

 

Whatever name may have been chosen,

if this divine creative Spirit exists,

 then He or She cannot want his or her own creatures,

his or her own children

to slaughter each other.

 

Would you want your children

tearing each other apart all the time?

 And end up killing each other to the last?

 

If God exists, God loves us.

 

As we love our babies, our children,

God loves us.

 

If he or she created us with the universe, the sun and the earth,

then he or she loves us in his or her own way:

 

To infinity…

 

God is

that indefinable, indescribable, unspeakable ‘substance’

inside and outside of everything, everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

 

The child is born from the mother,

the child proceeds from the woman who bore it.

 

Out of nothing,

it takes shape in her, in the amniotic fluid.

 

The child is the mother.

And the mother is the child.

 

If God exists, God is the universe, and the universe is God.

 

The universe is our Mother’s womb.

 

As the fetus divides,

it becomes more and more multiple, and complex, multi-interacting,

and yet it forms a whole

harmonious enough to breathe life into the child in cell gestation.

 

God is all at once,

He is all beings,

He is all things.

 

We all are

as well as everything that exists,

from the universe.

 

Everything comes from this universal ‘essence’.

 

As the child proceeds from its mother,

if God is,

we all proceed from Him, or from Her.

 

At least as much as our father,

if there is a God, God is a mother.

 

God is everything

that is positive and maternal, generous and fertile.

 

If God exists,

God is this fertile and maternal essence.

 

God is a Universal Goddess.

 

Everything proceeds from Her and the universe.

 

God has a heart as big as the infinite.

 

If God is,

God is a ‘consciousness’, a ‘spirit’ that extends to infinity.

 

God is infinite

as much as the infinite is God.

 

So what she or he feels is as great as infinity.

 

Imagine her sadness and pain,

infinite as he or she is.

 

If He or She loves us

like a father or like a perfect mother,

every act of cruelty we commit

is all the more profound and cruel to the God of the Universe

when we use His or Her name

to indoctrinate the most gullible, the most unstable,

and lead them to destruction, injustice and crime.

 

You think God doesn’t feel anything?

Think again, and make it quick.

 

Haven’t you ever felt affection, compassion, for him or her?

 

Haven’t you ever imagined that God could be hurt

at every wound we inflict on our brothers and sisters

and that every wound is a new wound to God Him/Herself?

 

Can we even imagine it?

 

Certainly,

the Divinity transcends pain with joy,

but She is nonetheless wounded

in the innermost depths of Her own Being.

 

Can you even imagine it?

 

If God is,

S/He is all that can be positive and maternal.

S/He is light and harmony, generous and fertile.

 

God is

that indefinable, indescribable, unspeakable ‘substance’,

everywhere and nowhere, both inside and outside of everything.

 

He is all and nothing,

one and indivisible, multiple and infinitely divisible.

 

From the intimate to the universal,

 if God exists,

God liberates, brings into harmony,

gives life, transcends and unifies.

 

Since everything that exists

exists thanks to relative harmonies

of movements, dimensions, scales, speeds and times,

to work for harmony is to fulfill the divine design.

 

*

Divine sacrifice

 

Just like any mother or father,

God could sacrifice Himself or Herself for us if S/He chose to do so.

 

But would God sacrifice himself

 knowing that inevitably s/he would kill us all at the same time,

God being everything, the cosmos itself and everything beyond?

 

If God exists, God cannot die,

because if God is God, God is infinite and eternal,

being both space and time and beyond space and time,

all at the same time, now and forever.

 

Because God

cannot be selfish, foolish, blind, limited, greedy, slave, or tyrant,

then God wants

what is best for His children

more than for Him or Herself.

 

*

 

God is one,

God is universal.

 

Because God is universal, God is unique.

Because God is unique, God is universal.

 

Verily,

to fight other Gods is to affirm the existence of these other Gods.

 

It’s throwing God against himself.

 

Do you realize?

 

Believing in one God and fighting another

is evidence that one believes that God is not One.

 

Why would the one God fight other Gods?

 

If God is,

God is everything.

 

Do you believe that God is so weak

that His power could be threatened

by someone or something that is not Him?

 

Or would God fight against Himself?

 

Does God need the insignificant power of a man or men

to destroy what God has created?

 

Does God need you to kill God?

To kill himself?

 

Would God want to kill himself?

Can he possibly be asking for your help in committing this crime?

 

If God exists, God cannot die.

 

He can neither die nor commit suicide.

He simply cannot.

 

Then why would he want you to commit suicide

and moreover kill His innocent children?

 

God knows no fear.

God is almighty.

God cannot be incoherent.

God cannot be threatened by anything or anyone.

Not even billions of human beings.

 

God is invincible, God is infinite, God needs nothing.

 

He doesn’t need you or anyone else to mess up his creation

by destroying and killing his children, his babies, Himself.

 

If God wanted something to be no more,

he would destroy it himself.

He wouldn’t need anyone to do it.

 

Especially not the unjust and bloodthirsty ignorant.

 

*

To see or not to see

 

Like God,

life is self-sufficient.

 

Truth be told, if God exists,

then it is surely God’s choice

to put life on an equal footing with Himself.

 

Like the universe, like life, like light, like God Himself,

the meaning exists in and of itself.

 

You don’t need God to give meaning to life, to the cosmos, to consciousness.

 

I am what I am.

I proceed from myself.

 

I am what I am.

 

And no doubt,

to be is as inexplicable as not to be.

 

Life is as much a mystery as death.

If not more.

 

When I die,

who I am no longer exists.

 

Not only do I proceed from everything that exists on Earth,

throughout the universe and even beyond

but I also proceed from myself.

 

I therefore necessarily proceed from the infinite and eternal mystery.

 

Like God,

the difference being that He precedes all things,

He is the Creator, the Creator Uncreated,

He is the Infinite and the Eternal.

 

Verily,

we are all children of infinity.

 

The miracle is that it exists here and now.

 

To see it is to realize it,

to become aware of it is to make it possible, to bring it to life.

 

If infinity necessarily exists

here and now, everywhere and all the time,

then infinity is real and possible.

 

The strength of God, if He exists,

is undoubtedly to have made sure that we do not need Him

to open ourselves to Life,

to the Infinity of possibilities and of knowledge

offered to us through our being, our conscience, our Spirit.

 

To be or not to be.

 

 He probably does not need to answer this question,

so crucial for us on Earth.

 

He is both here on Earth and in the afterlife.

He is and He is not.

 

Absolutely no one is asked to believe.

 

On the contrary, on the contrary.

 

We are asked to see.

 

Seeing is not believing.

Seeing is knowing.

 

To know is to be free.

To be free is to live, to blossom,

to fulfill one’s destiny.

To see or not to see

(continued)

 

Life is the prerequisite for freedom

as much as freedom is the prerequisite for life.

 

Freedom intrinsic to life itself

holds all that is possible to infinity.

 

Consciousness is free

once one discovers that all minds, all souls

 are part of this great universal, cosmic whole

that extends from the earth to the beyond,

which is at once its matrix, its essence, its substance, its consciousness,

which, more than the purpose of being,

is beingness itself.

 

Because he knows everything,

because he can do everything,

because he is eternal and infinite,

God is necessarily free.

 

God is free

and freedom is what he has to offer us.

 

Freedom to live and live in freedom.

 

Such is the divine offering.

If there is one.

 

To choose, what do you prefer?

Darkness or light?

 

To see or not to see,

that is the question.

 

*

Of the unjust and injustice,

Of lies and manipulation.

 

The more unjust and false our misrepresentation of reality is,

the more it has real consequences on the reality we share with each other,

with the Earth, the world, and the living.

 

The supreme injustice

is that the unjust not only derive material, financial and monetary benefits from it,

but also deprive the whole world, the whole of humanity

of a good that is precious beyond measure:

 

Harmony.

 

Lying makes the unreal real.

 

And conversely, of course,

it makes the real truth unreal.

 

Indeed,

lying, manipulation, injustice

 have a real impact on reality,

the consequences of which go beyond the control of the perpetrator

depending on the seriousness and consequences

of the lie, injustice and manipulation, 

whether or not its author wants it or admits it.

 

It’s clear. 

 

As we have already said,

when the illusion is collective,

the unreal creates a snowball effect

and everyone gets lost in ‘darkness’.

 

Once again,

how could we measure the loss of what we have lost

when it is by definition impossible

to measure something that does not exist,

which we cannot therefore know about

and which we may never even have experienced?

 

The characteristic of ignorance

is that he who does not know

does not know what he does not know.

 

It is therefore not the one who finds reasons to be unjust and cruel

who will be able to judge anything with justice and impartiality,

let alone be his or her own judge.

 

That’s just not possible.

 

It’s chronic, it’s automatic:

 

Whoever lives in injustice is struck first

 and is metaphysically, spiritually, psychically, cognitively and socially

the most affected by injustice.

 

The ultimate irony

is that those who live in chronic injustice

are the first ones to reap the most bitter, rotten and deadly ‘fruit’.

 

We could abound in examples, but time is running out,

so we will only consider the tyrant.

 

Indeed,

the tyrant asserts his power

through terror, making his ‘subjects’ fear him

by exemplary and merciless punishment.

 

But his ‘subjects’ being in the grip of fear

 will inevitably seek to protect themselves.

 

And the ultimate form of that need, that protective instinct

 would obviously be to get rid

of what for them is the primary source of the number one threat:

 

the tyrant himself.

 

That,

the tyrant cannot not know it.

 

That’s precisely because he knows he himself is in danger

that he acts as a liberticidal and bloodthirsty tyrant.

 

Thus,

the tyrant is no doubt even more prey to fear

than his own ‘subjects’.

 

It is indeed well known

that tyrants in the midst of an authoritarian drift

fall prey to the most acute forms of paranoia.

 

As a result,

spreading injustice is not only spreading suffering

to others and to the world,

but it’s mostly spreading a lot of misery onto yourself.

 

How to measure the suffering

that the unjust inflict on themselves

while they no longer have any awareness of the well-being

which would be theirs if they stopped inflicting suffering on the world?

 

How can we measure anything

when we have lost all measuring instruments?

 

To be unjust condemns us

to be blind to what we do and even more so to what we are,

for if justice is inscribed within ourselves,

then to know ourselves is to know justice.

 

And conversely,

not to serve justice is to condemn oneself not to know oneself,

it is to condemn oneself to darkness.

 

Can we indeed know anything without knowing anything at all

about the only thing that can make us know anything at all:

 ourselves?

 

Not knowing oneself,

with all that this implies,

is tantamount to flying an airplane

while knowing nothing about the airplane or the art of flying.

 

And injustice can spread like a poison

whose malfeasance we can feel

but which we are no longer really aware of.

 

Exactly the same way toxic chemicals

put us to sleep on the verge of death.

 

It is a poison that stifles this innate justice,

‘originally’ inscribed in the innermost depths of all of us.

 

To be unjust is to condemn yourself to know nothing,

starting with yourself.

 

Hence the importance and accuracy of ″Know thyself″.

 

The injustice we inflict on ourselves, beyond ourselves,

 is all the more unjust because it condemns us to close our eyes to ourselves,

 to what we really are, intimately, deeply, intrinsically, naturally.

 

We are therefore missing the essential point:

 

Humanist and universal justice and wisdom.

The meaning of human existence on Earth.

The wonder and joy of being alive.

 

Not being what we are

leads us to deny, miss and fail

what we really are.

 

Unconscious,

the negative dynamics at work within and beyond ourselves

are all the more unjust, harmful and destructive

that they are a source of great ignorance.

 

Unconscious affects, unconscious thoughts and beliefs

 inevitably cause us to lose our heads

in proportion to our immense ignorance.

 

Thus,

unconsciousness is ignorance

of who we are.

 

Thus,

 ignorance of what is right and what we are, with all that that entails,

 makes us blind, vain and inhuman, destructive and evil,

even and above all to ourselves.

 

Therefore,

the unconscious is defined from two angles, two dimensions:

 

1 We cannot know what we do not know.

 

We cannot ask ourselves even the question

of what we do not even know the existence of.

 

It is obvious.

 

Metaphysically speaking, transcendentally speaking,

it is inevitable, it is universal and absolute.

 

2 Secondly, at the collective level,

at the planetary level as well as at the individual, intimate level,

injustice engenders and perpetuates ignorance of who we are,

engenders a collective unconscious will not to see, not to be aware.

 

This collective unconsciousness

has serious consequences at the planetary level,

with all the interactions, all the dynamics,

all the fundamental, historical, political, economic

and psycho-sociological universal movements

 that this implies.

 

Increasing endlessly, incessantly and exponentially,

ignorance and injustice generate a feedback loop, a planetary curse

of which we are all victims,

whether we know it or not,

 whether we are the executioners or the innocent victims,

whether we are the richest, the most powerful,

or the simplest, the most human of humans.

 

No one escapes from History,

least of all from the intertwined destiny of all beings on Earth.

 

Throughout the ages,

if there is one thing that is, has been and always will be,

it is this one.

 

Thus,

the unrighteous minimize the consequences of their actions

and tend to stifle justice, both consciously and unconsciously.

 

He or she who,

either out of ignorance or to spare his or her own conscience,

most of the time both at the same time,

 uses and spreads injustice

accordingly condemns himself or herself

to close his or her eyes and ears to humanist justice

 and to strip his or her heart and soul

of all grace.

 

Unless there is a sudden revelation of the benefits of justice,

it is extremely risky and even objectively foolish

to expect any impartiality, any justice,

any light, any suspicion of truth

from the unrighteous.

 

Whatever our culture, our ethnicity, our origin, our education,

our skin colour, our environment, our status, our social class,

justice is the same for all human beings.

 

Thus,

when justice is no longer the same for all human beings,

it is no longer justice, but its opposite.

 

When justice becomes unjust,

when injustice manipulates and corrupts justice in order to reign,

 injustice is chronic and severe.

 

Like a deadly disease, a poison, a curse,

 it spreads to all members of society, in relationships and organizations,

in actions and emotions, in facts and wills, in psyches and feelings,

in consciousness and unconsciousness.

 

And yet,

justice itself doesn’t change.

 

It never will.

 

Eternal,

it is always the same,

even when the power is corrupt.

 

Justice is the same for all human beings.

 

Injustice is not and never will be justice.

 

This is the law of Justice.

 

Whether we recognize it or not,

whether we want it to be true or not,

it’s written in our genes.

 

We can all commit injustices

depending on the circumstances.

 

But no one in their right mind

cannot wish for injustice gratuitously and spontaneously.

 

It is impossible.

 

Justice is not injustice.

We all know that.

 

In the light of these simple truths,

what are we waiting for to finally serve wisdom, justice and harmony?

 

*

Injustice feeds on our suffering

 

Of course,

nothing is all black and white.

 

The reality is that there are very few people who,

knowingly and systematically,

 commit injustices.

 

Nowadays,

these people are called ‘psychopaths’.

Again, these are relatively few and far between.

 

So,

the question that comes to mind is this:

 

How is it that individually,

the vast majority of us wishes and tries to work for justice,

and at the same time, collectively,

we are governed by such unjust and destructive laws and dynamics?

 

The truth is,

for the vast majority of human beings,

we blame each other for the harm we do to each other.

 

It’s mainly because we suffer that we make people suffer.

 

It is for all these reasons that God, if he exists,

is certainly understanding, and therefore merciful.

 

How could it be otherwise?

 

If God is infinite, perfect and invincible,

God wants what’s best for us.

 

If there is a God,

this God wants us all to be happy.

 

To seek God

is not just to seek knowledge,

forgiveness and redemption for our crimes and imperfections,

to seek God is also and perhaps most importantly

to seek happiness and harmony.

 

Not only does God want us to be blissful and happy

because He wants what is best for us,

but he also wants us to be blissful and happy

because He wants us to be fair and free.

 

When you feel happy,

as if touched by an ineffable grace,

 do you wish suffering for others?

 

Certainly not.

 

You’re enjoying the present moment,

aren’t you?

 

Don’t you want the purest and most infinite happiness

for your own children?

 

If God is,

and if God is infinite,

then that God also wants our happiness to be infinite.

 

That’s how it is.

It cannot be otherwise.
