Great Mystery

I love it that we haven't a clue about the real nature of things, and never will. We have stories about how things are, and we need those stories as prisms for the light of the Great Mystery that shines through them. We humans often want certainty, a hidey-hole from the Great Mystery. That is when the stories become dogma, whether of the religious or scientific variety. 

There is an absolute freedom, an ecstasy when we can roll with the mystery behind everything. Life and death become aspects of the same thing. For me, this is what Shamanism is always pointing to. And the more we are aligned with the mystery, the more that Spirit is able to incarnate in this dream that, for now, we belong to.
