Bigger Stuff

Imagine a bubble. Now imagine placing the bubble in a pool of water. Okay? It is safe to say any object in the bubble is also in the pool of water right? But do you also know anything or any object in the bubble might ever know of the pool if it does not look out or is forced out of the bubble?

Welcome to humanity. Where everyone thinks all there is to life is what physically exists on earth. Only difference is you don’t have to peer out of the bubble, life itself forces you out at some point because the bubble WILL expire.

One of the favourite sayings of my Pastor is “The spiritual controls the physical”. And fortunately or unfortunately that could not be more true. There is more to life than what the naked eyes can see. There is more to love than what can be seen. I suppose love is probably the best example to use in this instance as it is quite relatable. Everyone knows there is more to love than the physical touch from person to person. While physical contact might be a mode of expression, the feelings generated inside would often be the biggest factors. The weird smile for no reason is not necessary generated by touch, it is generated by what is inside. It is hard to explain but you know it is there. It can not be expressed but whoever feels it knows for sure it is there. A force so strong yet cannot be seen or explained. I will make bold to say there is ‘something’ that controls love, even if that ‘something’ cannot be seen. The bible calls that ‘something’ God but then that is a different topic entirely.

Point is, there is spirituality and it is in control of everything. I repeat, EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, there is little or no cognisance paid to it. We live in a world where everyone seems to pretend hard work is the only prerequisite to success. Where admiration is the only thing required for a successful marriage or relationship. Where looking tough is the bedrock to garnering respect. Where saving money is all you must do to have a fat bank balance. Come on! Stop being childish. Why is the road side vulcanizer not a multimillionaire while some guy who visits a spiritualist and makes animal sacrifices suddenly a multi-property owner if hard work was all it took? Why would a good girl with a model figure get heartbroken but the ‘runs girl’ who consults multiple herbalists ‘happily’ married if admiration and good manners was all it took? – Happily in this case in quotation marks. If saving money was all it took, why would a stingy person who rations bread slices for his children seem to die broke but the guy who gives 100 dollars every week in church somehow seems to thrive financially?

Of course, human input is needed but the main driving force is most often spiritual. Point is human input and human actions are most often subject to spiritual forces.

Wake up people! There is bigger stuff at play. And proper balling requires you playing in this bigger realm. There is a whole lot more than meets the eye in every situation.  A horrible trick the rich foster on the poor is to blind them to seeing the whole truth. Making abnormal things look normal is an art perfected by the ruling class. Don’t get it twisted, there is a whole lot more at play in the universe than CNN and Twitter reports. Fortunately, man was created to have a spiritual awareness as a path to fulfilment and we can find the deepest answers within ourselves. Men call it religion. I, personally call it a ‘walk with God’.  There is a reason why religion is not going anywhere no matter the persecution and that is simply because it fills a void nothing else fills. Man recognizes there is something missing, unfortunately, the route taken to try to fill that void is filled with too many errors. Yet again, a different matter entirely.

Summary is, there is something bigger than what we see. Only a fool will focus all his/her attention on what is within the bubble when there is way more outside the bubble.
