Default Questioning Reality

Do you ever question reality? Do you ever think that there's more to reality than meets the eye?

I think it's more a matter of questioning my thoughts about reality. My eye (etc.) can pretty much be trusted.

I really think there is a lot more to this world then meets the eye. I have seen beings (you know those undescriably black shadowy figures that come in and out.)

The world would have us believe this is a cold greedy mechanical world however.

I don't question so much as rather stand in awe. The reality that I normally see is a tip of an ice berg of source and spirit. I feel grandeur as a whole that is way more than meets the eye. That reality we sense represents or has clues to what source is and being tunned in to those clues can bring wonder into my feelings that is realizing there is more we don't really see.

I question it all the time. Its my modus operandi. Its all I do. Right now I am really digging the law of Attraction because it feels like I should be paying attention to it. So i am on the verge of beginning some serious shifts in my attitudes and stuff.

Reality is so slippery. I love reading books on quantum phenom. (which I freely admit is so over my head at times.) Then I'll investigate a little insight meditation. I'll wonder about those Tibetan Buddhist Lamas chanting the Book of the Dead over a corpse only to come back to consciousness as a series of impulses and synaptic connections.

I always wanted to find THE ANSWER. Now I just try to enjoy the ride...

I too used to search for the answer. I think when you realize life is more of a journey than a destination, you shift into appreciating and living in awareness. At least that is the stage I'm at, enjoying the ride as swan put it. =)
