Life Itself Is Supernatural

                    Life, as we know it, cannot be explained. We don't really know how cells can be made to live, grow, and multiply. We have identified many little pieces, but we don't know a lot about how everything works together to create the synergy, which is life itself.  Scientists are not even sure about the electron. Is it a particle or a wave type event?  We sort of know that gravity is real, but what causes it? Haven't figured that out yet.

         The entire body of human knowledge that we do understand and use to run our civilization is like the sand in a sandbox. By comparison, what we don't know can be represented by all the remaining sand on all the beaches and in all the deserts, worldwide. There is precious little of total reality that we have actually figured out.

          Therefore, if we define "supernatural" as those things that cannot be explained or verified by science, then most of human life is supernatural, because science cannot yet explain it. Despite our scientific ignorance, however, we are capable of having complete faith in all that reality slowly reveals to us. What we know and don't know are inseparably linked in truth and we are the ones who must change our perspectives as science reveals how newly discovered understandings link with what is already known.

          It is my belief that even scientific knowledge does not progress without humans experiencing a spiritual sense of the unknown. Faith is a result when spiritual inspiration leads to expected outcomes. This is true for both scientific inquiry, as well as spiritual and religious growth. A calm sense of the unknown somehow leads to verifiably new experiences and understandings.

          In short, life is a wonderful, supernatural series of startling experiences, until new knowledge and perspectives are revealed, understood, and accepted. Enjoy and celebrate what comes your way and that which is confirmed as truth through your life experiences, but also, keep searching and reaching for what you haven't yet grasped, because that is where the greatest expanse of reality resides.
