The universe is wonderful or not. Any viewpoint is true because it points to itself, ultimately. How you see it is how it is. That’s because every time you make a point, you are pointing at yourself, even a critique. You are pointing in the mirror. In other words, the universe points to the universe and either cries or laughs.
When you point to something, you temporarily take yourself outside of it (conceptually). The finger which extends to point also creates an antonymic shadow. The observed and the observation are synonyms, and they turn a blind eye to this mysterious, conspiratorial truth. Money is God. God is money. God has no money. God is all powerful. God has no power at all. God has all the money in the world. God is poor. God is rich. The hardest one of these is “God is not God.” If I point to “not God” isn’t that also a pointer of duality?
Does God have a shadow? Does “not God” have a shadow? Does the universe have a shadow? If it did, where would it be cast? This is a tough one because the shadow and that which creates the shadow are together “in” the universe. The illusion of opposition is taking place within the boundaries of the universe, which is boundless. You have to have a boundary to create an opposition. But I wonder, what is this boundary if not itself?
How you see it is how it is. How you see it is true, even when your enemy sees it as false. True and false live in harmony in the shadows that they create with each other. The atheist and the theologian lie together in a green pasture of harmony and bliss, even when they fight. What a wonderful, cruel, shitty, and lovely world all wrapped up in harmony. I can’t explain my way out of the universe. I’m stuck.
