“The mask is never able to contain or consume the holy, yet neither can the holy be known apart from the mask”
Human beings as a race are set out to find answers. For thousands questions have been raised, theories have been formed and discussion has raged on. With the creation of religion we finally had a reason. We had guidelines as how to live to be a good person. It also answered the question we all ask ourselves, what happens to us after we leave this reality. With all the benefits of religion some questions are still unanswered. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do good things happen to bad people? All of these are relevant and when things go sour we ask God, what’s up? Our ability to find god is often challenged and for many seems to be a feat of… well god. So why does god want to remain behind a mask for the ones he loves. Shouldn’t he want to be present to show himself in all his glory and power? It then occurred to me that this would freak most people out. What we really want is change some may say, “a sign”. While god may operate from behind a mask, actions speak louder than words. We cannot go out looking for, expecting god to show himself and magically make things perfect. We must look past the obvious signs of divinity, which we will never find, to experience the real power of god.
