If everything was divine...

And it is, since God is everywhere and therefore everything is composed of the divine...

Where will a skeptical ego-mind find the divine? Nowhere. Because all it will see is ordinary stuff...more proof that at least suggests to it that God doesn't exist, since the millions and millions of separate things it sees appear to be ordinary, explicable in normal terms, and not divine in any way.

Looking for proof of something extraordinary which is somehow beyond all that, the skeptical ego-mind will not find it, therefore will conclude that the silly "God" it or someone else concocted does not exist.

Its error is in assuming that God is extraordinary and is separate from ordinary things. God is not separate from ordinary things, because they are all parts of God extending Itself. God is the summation of all things...all observable things, all phenomena, all forms of energy, time itself, all dimensions, all concepts.

The skeptical ego-mind is like a Don Quixote, running around finding primitive religious windmills (anthropomorphic concepts of a remote, man-like, ruling God) to tilt against. A futile endeavour. A case of the blind battling against its own mirror-image doppelganger.

To be aware of God is to realize intimately that all is divine, all things are divine, that all is formed and informed by the divine, and to act accordingly...which is to say that one would act with great love, great respect, and a great sense of intimate connection to all other beings, and to the planet itself, and to the cosmos, since all are part of one single great Being extending itself into manifestation.

Is there something else beyond all that? Something even outside of it? Well, perhaps. ;-) But if so, it is completely beyond our ability to express it or experience it, and it is beyond the perameters of this discussion.
