Secrets By Guy Spiro At a recent social gathering, several of us were sitting around one of the quiet rooms sharing when a nice young lady asked me a question. “So, Guy ... what is the secret of the universe?” When we all stopped laughing, she said, “OK, how about one of the secrets?” Seeing that she was serious and that the others in the room waited for a response, I answered her, “There are no secrets. There are no secrets in the universe. Nothing is hidden. Everything is right in front of us right now. There are no secrets, but what we do have is a relative inability to see.” Now, of course, there are secrets. There are political secrets, military secrets, family secrets and all manner of misbehaviors that depend on secrecy to continue. There are industrial secrets, financial secrets and encryption software for common folk right on up to the most powerful people and organizations in the world. Even in the realm of metaphysics, there have been esoteric teaching and societies where secrecy was necessary to preserve the lives of the members. The problem with secrets, however, is that those with perception and understanding can often connect the dots and see through subterfuge. A child’s simple lie is easily seen through. In the same way the more complicated duplicities of the adult world lie bare to those who have developed sufficient knowledge. But in the sense that the question was asked, there are no secrets or any need for them. All the secrets of the universe are hidden in plain sight. Where there have been things deliberately withheld from the general public for its own good, consciousness still illuminates all. Jesus is quoted as saying, Know the truth and the truth shall make you free. One sense of the meaning of this is that for those who are awake the prison doors of ignorance are opened. Think of it this way. For those whose eyes remain closed, nothing need be hidden. For those whose eyes are opened, nothing can be hidden. Let us all open our eyes ever wider. |
