Just as God is invisible, thus allowing unbelievers to unbelieve, so, too, is the ego invisible. The trouble being your ego is very visible to me...my ego is blindingly apparent to you. Which makes ego really easy to believe in.
God in us is as visible as our ego is...the trouble comes with our inability to accept that it is God that we are seeing. It's easier than breathing to name ego when we see it, but God? We can accept that we are seeing "a thoughtful act," "a good, decent, kind, lovable, generous, etc.," act or even person...but God? Whoa. And no.
The fact of God defies the rule that each something-or-other has an equal (or opposite?) something-or-other. God is good period. There ain't no other in God's world.
Maybe that's what lifts God out of the material world. God is good, so when our lying eyes see bad we blame it on the nonexistence of God...rather than accept that it is our eyes, our thinking, that is at fault, that needs adjustment. Which would invite us to change our mind. Another whoa. And no.
According to me, this is the flat-out determiner of whether we're going to have a good day or not. A good life or not. Fun or not. We can see God in everything or we can see God not. We can love and laugh or we can piss and moan. The choice is ours. Ours alone.
Choose you this day whom ye shall serve. -- Joshua 24:15
Thank you.
