Thought 1: God
Cries, when we are born, we cry! That’s how we take in our first breath. It is said that babies cry when they are born, as they are sent on earth by God’s angels. That world is better than us…that’s ridiculous, right? Wrong.
I don’t know about angels, God and paradises, but I know, we are born out of our mother’s womb, connected to her, to life, to survival through our placenta, and once we are born, this bond is broken.
We are protected in the womb, taken care of, loved, pampered. This is our need, our most primal need. We thrive upon it.
We grow up, mature, but this need, this primal urging remains. Momentarily, we do find a place to dwell upon, to fall back on.
Maybe it is through pat on our shoulder, a hug, a kiss or cuddling in the arms of our beloved.
So, coming straight to the point, we are born and nurtured. Taught religion. Told about existence of God and all the other worlds.
I am not here to contradict anyone’s belief system, not to prove I’m right and they are wrong. Preach people tales of miracles down their throats. I’m here to express, my feelings, my understanding. To share with you, what I understand of these things. I maybe wrong, maybe my knowledge be incomplete. But this is a process. We all are learning here, growing here.
So back to the point, I said we are nurtured, told about God, always as some entity, powerful all knowing, omnipresent. Maybe. I don’t know. We can’t see Him but he is there. Some say there is one God, some find God in multiple forms.
I was told the same. But I don’t know why, God for me is not some powerful entity, like don, whom we should always be loyal to, then only He will save you. But what if we don’t?
There are atheists, there are parallel thinkers. What about them? Doesn’t this ‘God’ love them?
God, a male, a creator, a protector.
No. When I see (through the eyes of my heart) God, I always see a mother. Like this world is a vast womb and all I want is to stay in it, safe, protected, loved. No matter what I choose. No matter whether I reciprocate that love, no matter whether I acknowledge Her presence or not.
I love her, her abundance, her love and care for me.
This is simply all I rhapsodised for now!
Thank you for reading. I will write next soon. Maybe when I feel the muse.
Take Care.
