Higher Thought

 The usual thought about this and that revolves around common sense and nonsense. The essential spiritual truths are something other, and they cannot be fully spoken or written of. They are found by sincere seekers,  those with pure heart. These seekers try to speak of It or write of It, but can merely point toward. Just as if you have never eaten a mango, my words of description would not give you the actual taste. So too, we sort of need to open to the experience of God and prepare ourselves.

It seems that there is a continuum from our limited view to those who have touched the Highest, to a journey into the Infinite. Eckhart declared that God is no thing, not nothing, but no thing. 

Along the way, people often make God and the way to God into a thing or many things: a physical thing like a statue, an idol, an amulet; rituals and special activities; sequestered in special writings and creeds: and exclusive to their particular group.

But I suggest the Creator of the miraculous universes fits in no thing. Let us open ourselves to the magnificent, transcendent and immanent God. Let us let go of the old tiny God
