The Only Mystery
The only mystery is that people want to believe there’s a mystery.
People like intrigue; we comment on it, claim it, and believe it.
Why?
We cannot handle the simple truth.
Intrigue: early 17th century -‘deceive’, ‘cheat’ from French‘to tangle, to plot’, from Latin intricare which was influenced by a later French sense ‘to puzzle’, ‘to make curious’.
There is no mystery. Humans are very intelligent – too intelligent, too clever, too inventive to see the wisdom of reality’s simplicity. When we constantly look out there for answers, this creates an insatiable appetite for mysteries, while we ignore that the answer which totally satisfies is within. We are fed intrigue daily, creating judgements which cause conflict and friction.
Mysteries are all in the mind,
while the essence of mind
– pure consciousness –
is always the answer
The only mystery is … we don’t see it.
