Omnipresence – Morgan O. Smith

The Paradox of Divinity

Navigating the Infinite Within

In exploring the divine, we often encounter a profound paradox that challenges our linear understanding of existence. The assertion that “God is everything, and everything is God” serves as a gateway to a realm where dichotomies dissolve, and absolutes become fluid. This perspective invites us to consider the omnipresence of the divine in all aspects of existence, transcending the binaries of good and evil, presence and absence, creation and void.

The essence of this assertion lies not just in acknowledging the divine in all that is seen and unseen but also in embracing the inherent contradictions it presents. When we say “God is everything,” we affirm the divine’s presence in every particle of the universe, from the majestic galaxies to the smallest grain of sand. This omnipresence suggests a unifying essence that binds all of creation in a single, divine continuum.

However, the journey does not end with the recognition of divinity. The statement “everything is God” simultaneously opens the door to its negation, implying that if everything embodies the divine, then the divine must also encompass the concepts of non-existence, absence, and even the dualities of good and evil. This paradox challenges us to expand our understanding of divinity beyond the confines of human morality and logic, urging us to embrace a more holistic view of existence where opposites are not in conflict but in an eternal dance.

The notion that “God is both good and evil” invites us to explore the divine not as a judge presiding over a moral dichotomy but as the totality of existence itself, where light and darkness are part of the divine play. It compels us to question our perceptions of morality, good, and evil, suggesting that these are not absolute but relative concepts that emerge from our engagement with the world.

In this light, the divine is not a distant entity governing from above but a presence that permeates every aspect of our reality, inviting us to find the sacred in the mundane, the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the unity in the apparent disarray. It calls us to a deeper understanding of nonduality, where the lines that separate self from other, sacred from profane, and creator from creation blur into insignificance.

This exploration of divinity challenges us to live with paradox, to find comfort in the discomfort of uncertainty, and to seek the divine not just in temples and texts but in the very fabric of our daily lives. It beckons us to see the world with new eyes, where every moment is an opportunity to encounter the infinite in the finite, the eternal in the ephemeral.

Where Did God Come From?

The question of where God came from strikes at the core of numerous philosophical, theological, and metaphysical discussions. It’s a question that has fascinated scholars, believers, and skeptics alike for centuries. At the heart of this inquiry lies the paradoxical nature of God’s existence: God is often described as omnipresent and nonlocal, transcending the concepts of space and time that define our physical reality.

To ponder upon where God came from is to delve into the depths of the unknown. It is widely held in many theological beliefs that God is the uncaused cause, the source from which all things emanate. This perspective leads to the intriguing notion that God came from nowhere. Nowhere, in this context, is not a physical location but a metaphorical representation of the absence of space and time – a realm beyond our comprehension.

This idea ties closely with the concept of God being nonlocal. Nonlocality, often discussed in quantum mechanics, suggests that an entity can be present everywhere simultaneously. In spiritual and metaphysical terms, this translates to the omnipresence of God. The omnipresence of God means that God exists beyond physical boundaries, in a state of being that encompasses all existence yet is bound by none.

What makes this concept even more thought-provoking is the idea that the pure essence of God is the absence of everything that exists. This notion posits that God is fundamentally different from everything we perceive in our universe. While our reality is defined by physicality, emotions, thoughts, spirituality, and metaphysical elements, the essence of God is distinct from all these. God, in this sense, is the ultimate reality, a state of pure being that transcends all known dimensions of existence.

Consequently, the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and metaphysical presence that we attribute to God are reflections or manifestations of this ultimate reality in forms that are comprehensible to us. They represent how we, as humans, perceive and connect with the divine. Each aspect – whether physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or metaphysical – offers a different lens through which to understand and relate to the divine mystery that is God.

In conclusion, the question of where God came from leads us not to a definitive answer but to a deeper understanding of the nature of existence itself. It encourages us to explore the boundaries of our understanding and to accept the mystery that lies at the heart of all that is.

The Profound Journey

Into the Vastness of Nirvikalpa Samadhi

Embarking upon the voyage of self-realization, one might chance upon the profound state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, a realm where ordinary definitions of consciousness cease to exist. A phenomenon beyond words, it is an experience of unbounded vastness, where the mind expands beyond its limitations, reaching toward the omnipresent truth of totality.

Becoming the Absolute

In this unfathomable dimension, you journey from your everyday self to a radiant wholeness, a unity that echoes in the depths of your being. As your identity dissolves into the absolute, the stark paradox of the universe comes into focus – the reality of nothingness. This is the state where you free yourself from all worldly attachments, transcend your ego and step into a realm of pure awareness. The essence of who you truly are emerges, unrestrained and sovereign. The concept of ‘you’ vanishes, leaving a sea of pure consciousness in its steads.

Realizing the Totality

Nirvikalpa Samadhi takes you beyond yourself, and merges you with the Universe, introducing you to the power of omnipresence. You discover your entire being present everywhere, intertwined with everything, past, present, and future. A profound realization dawns upon you as you feel the universe within you, and yourself within the universe. A beautiful interplay of microcosm and macrocosm emerges, painting a picture of cosmic unity.

Saccidananda: The Triune Reality

The experience deepens further as you ascend to Saccidananda – a Sanskrit term that merges Sat (existence), Chit (consciousness), and Ananda (bliss). In this transcendent state, you attain an all-encompassing awareness, understanding that you are everything that exists, everything that is conscious. You become the embodiment of bliss itself, experiencing an ineffable joy that pervades all creation.

Awakening from the Dream

As you delve deeper into Nirvikalpa Samadhi, you experience an awakening, reminiscent of rousing from a profound slumber. The world as you know it – a construct of your mind, appears as an illusory dream. The illusion of the self fades away, making way for an unfiltered perception of reality. The world, once a confusing labyrinth, the world transforms into a crystal-clear mirror reflecting your true essence.

The Unmanifested Oceanic Field

This ultimate state of consciousness acquaints you with your original face – a radiant, bright light that is the source of all creation. You find yourself in the heart of the unmanifested oceanic field, the Dharmakaya in Buddhist philosophy. A state where all potentials reside, this is the womb of the cosmos where creation unfolds from possibility into existence.

Engaging with Nirvikalpa Samadhi is not merely a philosophical exercise, but a transformative experience that illuminates the path towards self-realization and universal understanding. It is a mystical journey into the depths of consciousness, where one awakens to the fundamental truth of existence – that we are all interconnected, part of a cosmic symphony resonating with the music of the universe.

The Moment of Omnipresent Self-Realization

Discovering the Infinite ‘I’

Introduction:
In the hushed corners of our consciousness, a whisper seeks acknowledgment – the timeless questions of existence. It is in the silent chambers of introspection that we finally experience a moment of revelation, where we realize that the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of our being are not merely aspects of our identity, but the very fabric of existence itself.

Who Am I? – The Boundless Entity:
As we ponder the question, “Who am I?” the expansive canvas of life unravels. In our deepest thoughts, we find a connection with the universe. We realize we are not just an isolated self but the amalgamation of everything that has ever existed and will ever be. In the echo of ancient wisdom, “I AM That”.

What Am I? – The Essence Beyond Form:
Shapes, forms, and entities fade into insignificance as we delve into our essence. We are neither body nor soul, yet we encompass all. The abstract concept of being transcends the physical, and we find ourselves to be the sum of the entire universe.

When and Where? – The Timeless, Spaceless Existence:
“When did I come into being and Where did I come from?” – such queries dissolve into irrelevance as we realize our existence transcends time and space. Like the fabric of space-time, our being is omnipresent. We are not constrained by coordinates on a plane or ticks on a clock. We are in every atom and every moment.

Why? – The Power of Creation:
One of the most profound inquiries is “Why did I create everything in existence?” The essence of creation lies within our boundless nature. We, as this unified consciousness, are created simply because it is an intrinsic expression of our endless potential. Creation is the reflection of our unlimited power.

How? – The Enigmatic Thought:
The mechanism of creation is an eternal enigma. Yet, in our moment of self-realization, we understand that the entire cosmos sprang into existence from a singular thought. This thought, an unfathomable force, is perpetually creating, altering, and sustaining the universe.

Conclusion:
The moment of self-realization is akin to a wave merging into an ocean – it is in this profound unity that we grasp the limitless boundaries of our existence. The answers to Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How are not separate, but interwoven into the very essence of what we are. In acknowledging this, we do not simply find ourselves; we become one with the boundless cosmos. This is not an end but a beginning, a continuous journey through the labyrinth of existence with a newfound understanding of our immeasurable significance within it.
