The Seeker's Anchor

A fundamental aspect of the human condition is that we are constantly seeking and searching for meaning and purpose in life. This is one of human beings' most irritating qualities, and we have numerous irritating qualities. It is also what makes us brilliant, inspirational, a co-creative.

Seeking is fundamental to who we are, and it is really the only one of our irritating qualities that I am unwilling to lose.

But it can be really awkward and disorienting to be in a constant state of philosophical shifting and reevaluation. It puts us in states of periodic confusion as we re-frame and try to find something to hold onto, some anchor to keep from drifting off into esoteric madness.

All That Is is so vast and unfathomable, and yet we are driven to try to comprehend it. I don't believe there is such a thing as ultimate comprehension of All That Is. If ultimate comprehension was possible, that would require All The Is to be finite and quantifiable.

I imagine that All That Is is expanding faster than our capacity to understand it. By our very understanding we ourselves are causing All That Is to expand. To imagine that we might definitively understand All That Is, is like trying to catch-up with something that has had a head start of Infinity.

It the midst of such vastness, what is there to provide an anchor? What is at the root of every other useful belief? What can we hold onto that will not be torn away when our various working philosophies are inevitably uprooted?

I believe that thing is Love. Universal Divine Love: Love that is a force of nature, a law of physics, the mind of God, the dynamic creative principle, the essence of All That Is. Love that transcends beliefs and religions and judgements and perhaps even discernment.

What if we asked All That Is to allow us to be a channel for such Love, and to be willing to be adjusted in such a way that this might be possible? Whatever else we do or say or think or believe, let it be at its foundation, Love. To ask even for the willingness to be such a thing, might itself change the course of our collective destiny.
