This video can help you shake off the feeling that you are really '
all that.' Sorry for the version with the cheesy Morpheus (The Matrix) voice and the trance music (turn it down if you want), but, well, actually, I kind of like it that Morpheus is saying, "
you've felt it your entire life...there's something wrong...you don't know what it is, but you know it's there...like a splinter in your mind...." I take it to mean (in the movie and in real life) that if we, in our gut, have to ask the question, "is this all there is?" then
maybe the fact that we are asking kind of proves that there has got to be something MORE. Maybe its just me, but it seems like the vastness and scale of the universe (glimpsed in the video which I'm sure when compared to the real thing looks completely ridiculous) should create in us a pang of wonder and a
wrenching feeling inside that shouts, "I want more! More than tv and computers and cell phones and facebook and malls and cars and theme parks and picket fences and golden retrievers and on and on and on.......don't you feel it in your gut that there has to be more than the material, even if the material stuff out there in the universe makes us feel really tiny? In your heart of hearts, don't you know
God is there?
Here's
another one...and
another one...beautiful, even (maybe
especially because it is...) without sound....
...and of course there is the breathtaking beginning of the movie
Contact...
...and lastly, make sure to
hear what
Louie Giglio has to say about it all...
