Unfathomable Mystery

"Words, no matter whether they are vocalized and made into sounds or remain unspoken as thoughts, can cast an almost hypnotic spell upon you. You easily lose yourself in them, become hypnotized into implicitly believing that when you have attached a word to something, you know what it is. The fact is: You don't know what it is. You have only covered up the mystery with a label. Everything, a bird, a tree even a simple stone, and certainly a human being, is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg."

--Eckhart Tolle

What a delight to read these words by Eckhart Tolle this morning when I opened one of his books. I relate totally to what he has said here because it speaks to my experience of living life on a clairvoyant path.

The key to understanding the passage above is realizing how deeply entrenched we are in relating to our world with our "minds". This mind is only one aspect of our true selves, our energetic, spiritual self. We are in a human phase of evolution during which we are beginning to realize that there are other ways of perceiving the world and that there is so much going on beneath the surface appearance of things. We have trusted rationalism and intellectual inquiry and science to give us all our answers as to the nature of LIFE and organized religion to create our rules for living, when neither one can give us the "whole picture". We are beginning to discover that in fact we have the ability within each of us, to look deeper and to see further and discover our own truths. And therefore the ability to recognize for ourselves what is authentic for us, what holds meaning and value, what we feel connected to, and have faith in.

When you have the courage to look beyond the word of a thing, the name and facade of a person, there is an incredible amount of information and life force to explore and get to know. There is the unique story of every human and how it connects to every other story out there. There is the incredible life force of every object and how no object or thing is stagnant but like us, changing every second on a biological and energetic level. Yes, we are all an "unfathomable" and "unknowable mystery" but it is possible to peek below the surface of the words and symbols and be startled by the beauty of it all.
