The Living Universe

The first thing God had to do when he decided to create the universe was to sacrifice himself. He needed the raw materials to do the job. God is the matter of which the universe is made. God is the living universe, all the various forces of energy, including spiritual, and all living things, and things inert.

And each individual part encompasses the whole. That is the miracle. When you pray to God you are praying to yourself and to everything else, so listen carefully.

We have a job to do. Our job is to live. Beautifully.

I have been thinking about the beginnings of life quite a lot lately. I was watching a show about the very beginnings of the universe, the monent of the big bang, and was thinking about math and logic. I realized that because there were infinite moments prior to the beginning of the big bang, and thus, infinite possibilities, that is why the universe formed. Because when you have infinite possibilities, everything will happen, including life. This is true still now. Just think about it logically. It's amazing, but it's also so mundane, you know? Isn't that just exactly how life is?
