The Man in the Sky

When someone asks us if within our religious or spiritual beliefs, we believe in a man in the sky, tell them, “Yes”.

Tell them, “When I look up in the evening sky, I see the sunset filled with colors spanning throughout the horizon – beautiful to behold. I see a magnificent signature at the end of a day, as if saying, ‘This is a day that I have made’ with Him signing his name.

When I look into the sky at night, I see the stars, planets, comets, and other of the most awesome wonders to behold. With extending my seeing further by putting satellite telescopes in front of my eyes, I see beyond what I could have even imagined, billions of light years, billions of stars, billions of galaxies, deeper and further than ever thought possible, seeing supernovas, gas giant planets and stars, and more beyond anything any human imagined before the telescopes came into being.

When I look up into the morning sky, I see the sun rising with colors that are more beautiful than I could ever recreate on a canvas, even though many have tried. During the day, when I look up in the sky, I see the blue skies filled with birds flying, trees and mountains reaching into the sky, rain falling down feeding the entire Earth and snow bringing stillness and quiet.

When I see the birds, I see the Wright Brothers taking us up to be with the birds, something we did not think possible, until we strived for it. I see planes traversing the entire planet in a matter of hours, carrying men, women and children. I see the Saturn 5 rocket and Apollo 11 capsule, with Neil Armstrong taking us yet further into the sky than we’ve ever imagined possible allowing us to touch the moon with our fingers. I see the telescopes giving us the visions of what is beyond who we are here on this planet. I see the Solar System, and the Milky Way Galaxy. I see other Galaxies, other planets not even close to us. And I see billions of years into the past, billions of light-years to the other end of the Universe, with myself being a part of all of this, conjoined with the Universe.

When I look up into the sky, I see many parts of myself that I have discovered are greater than just the person standing in my shoes. With my ever-growing spiritual beliefs and my ever-growing science understanding, I feel and see myself as seeking that which is beyond what my own mind can think up. I see myself as being the man in the sky and I am beckoning myself to seek more than what I currently believe in Religion and Science. I am also beckoning myself to seek more than what I have in my mind about what is in the sky.

From seeing/feeling/sensing ALL this, I know that I am more than just what I see of myself in my body standing here. I see that I am more than just a Democrat or a Republican. I am more than an Israeli or Hamas. I am more than a Russian or a Ukrainian, Chinese, European, Asian, African or American. I am more than just who or what is standing in my shoes. I am conjoined with something that is larger than myself – a whole unimaginable-until-now Universe larger. And when I study and learn ever more of what I believe through religion and spirituality, I feel again that I am conjoined with something and Some Life that is a great deal Greater than myself,…
… and I feel a beckoning.

No human being on Earth, knows the fullness of what or who God is. But, whatever This Life is that is larger than myself, I feel the innate driving, beckoning feeling to find out more, about This Life that I am a part of, and about my life, myself which is a part of This Life.

This ALL is beckoning me to open myself to possibilities beyond my own mind, perspective, heart and my own understanding. In my spiritual beliefs, I have experienced, become aware of, and come to believe in, more than who I had been, and in my scientific study and explorations, I have experienced, become aware of, and come to believe in, more than who I had been.

And this is what I see when I look up to see the Man in the Sky.”

[Tell them this.]

Sincerely,

Whomever Looks Up
