Recently I have noticed my Spiritual eyes opened up more and more to the miraculous nature of reality. The latest example has come in the form of a very loose and vacant string of very tiny ants that, while lying down, I have seen following the apparent scent track left by the initial ant who apparently found something in the house. In an effort to find that "something" I followed one of the ants from somewhere above the front window venetian blinds, along the line where the wall meets the ceiling, along that line through the hallway, back along the other side of the hallway, along the ceiling through the kitchen, along where the wall meets the ceiling towards the backdoor and then I lost the ant. Even standing on a stool I could not find where the other ants went after they reached the back door. I opened the back door and could not see any ants anywhere. It is still quite a mystery because I could see no ants outside the front window and I could see no ants outside the back door. At first I was frustrated that I could not find what they were after and then...
I suddenly had a moment of clarity; an epoch; a Zen experience of Satori
How could that first very tiny ant carry enough "scent" in its body to create that VERY LONG track along the ceiling from the front of the house all the way out the back of the house? How is that possible? How could that tiny body hold that much scent? Modern science would make light of the matter, as they always tend to do with the miraculous surrounding us. However, the fact of the matter is that a tiny ant leaving that much "scent" is A MIRACLE!! It's not possible for such a tiny body to hold that much scent and yet...how can I deny my empirical experience of the miracle? My only conclusion is that this supposed "scent" must be some sort of energy marker that the ant was siphoning from the source of all creation. It could not possibly be a physical substance because there is just not enough room in that very tiny ant to carry that much substance. A single drop of ANYTHING could hold about 20 such ants and I can't imagine being able to create a followable track across the ceiling of the entire house using just a drop of ANY substance.
Oh, I have little doubt that I could do a web research and find all sorts of interesting information that I would have to accept on faith, but their scientific explanations are having less and less of an impact on what I know to be the miraculous nature of reality.
Supposedly, we are living in a organically manufactured reality made of contrasts: up and down, hot and cold, right and left, good and evil, etc, etc, etc for infinity and we are all willing puppets of the Spirit of Intent in this Universal Doll House of sorts. Supposedly, we are all God equal to everything with no one thing more or less "God" than anything else. Supposedly, supposedly, supposedly (sigh). I know modern science will find this concept ridiculous and laugh it off as nonsense, but since this epoch Satori experience I am now convinced there may be only one thing in this fabricated reality which has no opposite:
That which is miraculous as opposed to that which is not miraculous!
