The so-called secret to health is widely known and within reach: eat well and nutritiously, exercise daily, and restrict calorie intake.
However, if you look around at the obese and unhealthy everywhere, you’d think health is a secret. The evidence is overwhelming. But does it point to the Truth?
The so-called secret to wealth is also widely known and within reach. Yet, if you look around, you would think money is hard to come by. That’s because we equate wealth with money. But wealth is exactly like health: it’s paying attention to what you’re consuming, what you’re doing, and how you’re doing it. It’s education, but nobody seems to be buying it. Wealth is still a mystery.
The world’s bookshelves are filled with the secrets to wealth and health. But like a church filled with the symbolism of God, God is nowhere to be found. Truth seems hidden, and yet the symbols of Truth are plastered everywhere. It’s like a lone, invisible peace symbol in a war zone. It makes no sense.
You’ll never get a hold of your health. You’ll never get a hold of your wealth. The only way to get a hold of your health is if there is a healthy person in you. The only way to get a hold of your wealth is if there is a wealthy person in you.
You’ll never get a hold of God. The only way to get a hold of God is if there is a God in you—and by the time you discover that, you’ll see how silly any name for that is!
Bookshelves are full of books about God and spirituality. Yet God remains a distant mystery in the same way as getting fit, losing weight, and being rich are “distant mysteries.” It’s not until the mystery steps forward that the cat is let out.
It’s not that the cat’s in the bag. It’s that there just isn’t a bag at all.
