I have recently come to realize that I no longer believe in the supernatural. I think instead that all of everything is completely natural. It is just that we do not understand the mechanics behind all of our perceptions and experience.
Throughout history humans have made up stories to explain the things they did not understand, that's all. Through these explanations people found comfort and a kind of framework that they could use to work with and manipulate forces that they did not understand very well.
Unfortunately, these stories have also often been used by powerful people to control the weak. And also, it is often difficult for people to let go of their stories when new information comes to light.
There is still so much in this world that we do not understand. I really want to engage in the full experience of this life and I am wondering how to go about this. I am wondering if we need to drop the stories all together and just become more quietly aware, observing the experience of every moment and letting it change you. Or perhaps if we place our minds into these existing frameworks that we have created there may be more yet to learn.
