To your question Old Soul, I say yes and no. She could have discovered this lesson by some other means, contemplation or something perhaps, but it just so happens that she learned it in that particular way. I suppose what you're trying to point out is that both ways are correct.
As for the question of why God seems not to have revealed Himself, I personally at this point think that there is more to reality than what can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. To assume that that is all there is seems a bit narrow minded to me. Maybe part of the purpose of life is learning to trascend ordinary reality and begin to percieve the spiritual.
Maybe this is just a huge nest, and we need to be pushed out in order to learn how to fly, to add another dimension to our existence. Maybe there already exists a lot of spiritual books that hint at how to jump out of the nest, and maybe once we do that we will come to know God, since the way I figure, if higher dimesions of reality exist then God mostly likely exists in those higher dimensions.  |
