The key to a healthy spiritual life is in seeking rather than knowing.  Simply stated, with knowing comes familiarity, and familiarity (as we are taught in the fable) breeds contempt.  When something is known it ceases to have meaning beyond its definition, it may be categorized, cataloged, and filed away.  It is no longer sought out except as trivia.

We are told in this age of hyper enlightenment, that most everything is known. Those things that still evade us, such as the edge of the universe, the content of dark matter, solutions to certain mathematical theorems, the cure for the common cold, are all soon to be discovered and then we will indeed know everything.  This brings me to a point of embarkation which must necessarily be avoided, although the desire to veer from the present topic is strong.

Those among us who study day and night to prove things, have spent a great deal of time looking into religion and concluded that all is known here as well and that it is no longer relevant.  It has been shown by science that God, whatever that is, does not exist.  For these individuals, Marx has proven to be correct in that religion is the opiate of the masses, and that s all. The curtain has been pulled away from the universe and there is no gray haired man back there turning knobs and pulling levers.  Lets move on to the next mystery. 

If religion and God have become irrelevant, then I say that art, literature, drama, music, and poetry must be dismissed as well.  But wait, Mr. Kendrick, are you equating these things with God?  No, it is much more clear than that, I am saying that these things are God.  And that is what I am going to seek to do here in this spot, develop support for that statement, knowing that I will never be able to know if I have supported it or not.  And that too, is God.
