And lets face it. Every single person on this planet would give you a totally different answer to each of those questions. One person would say the Roman Catholic church is the true religion, another would say Buddism is the true religion and so on and so forth.. But then someone else would come along to challenge both of those views, and after digging even deeper they would find that each person in both religions see even their own religion differently from others who belong to the same one... One person would say reality is simply just formed from everything that has a true existence on this Earth. But what truly exists? What one person may say exists, another would say it doesn't. What may seem to be a fact to another person, such as God does exist, is a complete opinion to another. What one person may consider a truth, will always have falsehoods to another... One may say the universe contains all of the stars, and planets, and moons, and galaxies.. But then another person would come along and tell them that we have only reached 5% of the universe, so how do we really know what all of it contains?
Then we would spiral around again to all of the other questions, because they are truly linked.. If we only know of 5% of the universe, how could we know that the God of one religion is the true one? Because 5% is truly so small, and we have no clue what other life could be out there worshiping a completely different God in the unknown universe. So then is what we know of the universe truly conclusive fact, or is it just opinion based off of what little we do know... And on and on it goes. Spiraling out of control.
But truly all of this could have such a simple answer if we are willing enough to see it like that. What is the universe? Well.. The universe is in our own minds. There is absolutely nothing, no picture, no teaching, no opinion, no fact, no story, that doesn't get processed by our minds and spirits. So of course the universe is all in our minds. It is unique to every individual. Because our realities are truly our own, because we create them. Everyone will always give a different answer to every question. Not one of us is programmed the same. Your universe is your own. Don't let anyone take that from you.
Dare to be different. Because in the end we are all connected. We each have a little piece of God in us. We all have a different purpose, we all have a unique story, we all have unique thoughts, we are all meant to teach something and learn something. Everything is so huge that not one of us could possibly have all the answers, and we aren't meant to. That is why life is only part of the journey, and a truly short part at that. We will all continue to grow, and put pieces together. Because that is all we have, we only have pieces.. And each of us is trying to put together this never ending, incomplete, puzzle in a different way.
So worship how you may. Teach how you will. Love how you want. But don't forget that you will never be completely correct with anything to anyone but yourself. Everything has a piece of truth to it, and a piece of a lie to it all at the same time.
What one person may say is true, could be completely true to them, but it does not have to be true to you. Truths are circumstantial, just like every fact, and every opinion.
This is your universe. Make of it what you will.
