Apparently the image is from a movie, or a game or something. I just needed something with the word Everything, preferably followed by Is. This was as close as I could find, but it's pretty perfect, because there are mushrooms all over it. Whatever the picture is from is probably very close to what I'm using it for.
This is about the gnostic revelation I had many years ago. I described it in this post:
Ever since then it's been something I think about frequently, my life's riddle that I try to unravel. I'm doing it through most of this blog in fact. If it's too TL;DR for you, the revelation I received is that every sentence we utter, or write or think, is an imperfect attempt at The Ultimate Sentence, which is Everything Is.
I felt like (or did this occur to me later?) the statement was unfinished, like it needed another word. And it seems perfect that that word wasn't revealed to me, it was left for me to ponder endlessly. This is what makes it a life's riddle. It's a gap I need to close. And of course there are countless different ways to close it.
My friend says it should be Shit. At times I tend to agree.
But (surprise surprise) I usually tend more toward God or Love. They're interchangeable—it means the same thing either way, depending on your conception of God I suppose. Since mine is very esoteric, they're the same thing.
More recently the thought occurred to me, Everything Is could also be seen as a somewhat different formulation of I Am—God's statement. If He created everything from Himself, from the pure love that He's composed of, then they mean the same thing. It's as if in the beginning only Love existed, in a jumbled chaos, then it formed into God, who then breathed the World into being from It/Himself. Or maybe it makes more sense to say Everything Existed in a jumbled Chaos, but God was made of Love and breathed It into the Chaos, turning it into the World. Sorry about all the capitals, it makes it all kind of too fancy, doesn't it. And if I'd follow my line of reasoning through to Its logical conclusion, then I'd have to Capitalize Every Word, Because (sorry, I can't keep Doing That) ultimately Everything Is God. Everything. Including You and Me. So I can officially stop capitalizing. Consider it implied in everything I write or say.
Anyway, just wanted to share this, because it's some progress I've made in unraveling my riddle and I had never mentioned it before.
