Looney Tunes and Enlightenment
Hello folks... it's the Mighty Om signing in... Everyday that I wake up i look at the sky and yell at God... is it just me or is this life absolutely insane. I don't have a problem with my struggle. About ten years ago I decided to go for it. But I think about all the lost souls in the world and I wonder what God is thinking. I even know that I'm part of his plan to heal the world, or at least that's what I think... but I wonder what he's thinking. Is this right? Is the suffering people go through really worth it? People tell me I'm looking the wrong way, that the Devil is the cause of pain on Earth. Even if I believed in the Devil (which I'm on the fence about) I still have to wonder why? It's like this... there was a Looney Tune that was my favorite. Daffy Duck is in the cartoon world, but it keeps shifting on him. He jumps out of an airplane... and the parachute gets erased and turns into an anvil. He can't win for trying. Here's where it gets interesting. He wakes up to the lunacy of the situation, grabs the invisible fabric of the cartoon world around him (imagine in our world grabbing the sky) and begins to rip it to shreds, all the while screaming "who is drawing this cartoon?" In that moment Daffy Duck is on the brink of what the Buddha would call enlightenment. His suffering leads him to ask serious questions about the nature of reality. The camera pulls back and Bugs Bunny is at the artdesk drawing the cartoon. "Ain't I a stinker?" That is what life is like for a lot of people. God, The Higher Power, whatever you want to call it is involved with the drawing of the cartoon. Even if the Devil does exist and have power, he too is a character within the perception of God. The devil can only act... if time moves forward. And the only person I know who can control the motion of time, who in fact is beyond time, is God. The universe is a circle... within a circle... within a circle. But no matter how far back you go, there is no way to see the last circle. Being in time as we are, we will die before we get to the end. We are always a part of this cartoon. Just like in the Looney tune world, where the rainbow colored circle pops out at the beginning... and swallows the world at the end. Inside is where the action takes place. All worlds of beings from heaven to hell play within the circle. But only one being is outside the circle, and that is God. "Ain't he a stinker?" My prayer is that everyone in the world wakes up and demands an explanation...
