There is more to life than what any of our senses can ever reveal, we are life itself, we are all connected to everything there is. To be aware of this connection and to even experience this connection is to truly live, to live outside of this connection is to live your life in fear, this fear is what questions everything, and because of this questioning of everything you never truly live.
You kind of lost me after saying that there's more to life than what our senses reveal. While I agree with that, I can't say questioning things keeps us from living. I would expect the exact opposite. How do you keep from becoming stagnant if you don't question everything?
Being stagnate can be questioning everything, you can stay in that mind frame and never truly experience life, as I said we are all one, we are life itself. We can never truly know all the answers, we can only know what our senses can reveal.
I don't believe in a Christian god, but I do feel that what we all are connected to, is something life a higher consciousness, or source, or god if you want to use that word.
Its like love, we can understand how the body reacts in the experience we call love, but no matter how much we understand this, that understanding is never love, and this goes with everything else.
