Einstein's God
An Albert Einstein quote—I want to know God’s thoughts, all the rest are details—has been a guiding force in my life for decades, unerringly steering me away from details and towards what I had been seeking my entire life—God’s thoughts.
It is a wonderment to contemplate just exactly how engaged we are, not in God’s thoughts, but in the details of our lives. We’re prisoners of our needs, desires, likes and dislikes—our ego-centeredness. We are held captive by our pain/ego bodies. Our thoughts are geared to survival. We thrive on suffering in all its many forms while we put monumental effort into being happy. Much of our striving for fulfillment entails acquiring stuff—and more stuff. There is no end to the details.
Think about how different (your) life would be if we all lived in God’s thoughts—if we all lived “out there” rather than “in the details”. If we could suddenly understand what is real, and thus truly important, and live from that reality.
To shift from living in the details of life to living in God’s thoughts first takes whole-hearted commitment and then bare-bones self-honesty. Both are foundational in bringing ourselves to a greater awareness. Shifting from one reality to the other, egoically speaking takes constant self-assessment. The ego will fight with all its might to hang onto its detail-oriented manufactured reality. You have to want to know God’s thoughts more than you want anything else and you have to be willing to let go of every detail to get there.
End Game is an appropriate name for what has to occur to know God’s thoughts. End Game!!! Interestingly, with the changes upon our world, life itself is bringing us face to face with “the details”. Living in and from God’s thoughts creates the critical difference.

This is a great blog. And so timely. For the last number of weeks I was unknowingly very caught up in the details. Yesterday and today I have been consciously pulling out of them and the joy and wonder is again returning to life. Tonight I went for a walk and was back in the miracle of that moment.
Earlier as I did some housework, my mind was going to the details again, until I accidentally hit my head twice, hard, on some duct work. It knocked me back into a greater consciousness, thank goodness. Wrapping up SO many details at once right now. It is interesting, too, how the changes are bringing up "the details". So critical to not have any of my own, or many, anyway.
Interesting, on my walk tonight, I passed the pasture where the neighborhood horse used to live. She was a beautiful white horse that held a space I didn't even realize she held. She isn't there tonight, and I sense she's left her body. Her energy was filling the whole pasture when I walked by. My body released a ton of tears on my walk...another milestone...another confirmation of everything changing...nothing steady or stable in this dimension, yet I was also attuned to the dimension where all is real and in perfect order. This "death" brought up and out much pain...reflecting the ego death occurring within me. The death of an old way of being - moving me deeper into what is real...God's thoughts.
Thanks for sharing this blog. It's powerful.

Much gratitude for your rich response. During these changing times, much will be pushed out of our lives, especially the details. We are/will have to take full assessment of our lives, how we are living them and what adjustments we will have to make as these winds of change blow more strongly. God's thoughts provide more than we can imagine, most essentially a sense of direction.
