The Divine Observer

I have no form and yet I can take any form you see, I am both tangible and ineffable. I have been here since the earth was first flung into existence. I have a name but no one person or language can pronounce it, and yet at times they come close. Some call me God, some Mother Nature, some Father Science. I am everything and nothing and just as you think you have got a grasp on me I change. I have no gender, I have no political views. I just do my job. I keep balance in the world and unbeknownst to you I have sent a Divine Observer to meet you. It is to this Observer whom I feel you should listen to now.

You don’t know me, I could be anyone you see in your daily life. I could be someone at the bus station, I could be the quiet college student reading at the local library, I could be a trucker passing you on the highway, I could be the cashier at Wal-Mart, I could even be one of your long lost cousins whom you haven’t talked to in over ten years. I am pretty positive you’ve seen me before, you may even have talked to me but I never let you know who I really was.

You see I am something special. I know everything about you, every detail of your life, every good deed and sin you have ever acted out. I know your family, your friends, where you work and I know your soul. You don’t even know your soul do you?

I am nothing out of the ordinary to most people. I am just a person, but each day I am a different person. Each day I watch you and the hundreds of others. I know everything about you because I am a messenger. I come from somewhere you can’t even begin to imagine, a place so blessed in the cosmos that all knowledge is bestowed upon me. I have come down to experience human life as an observer.

When you pass me your change or shake my hand I can feel you. Your entire life flashes before my eyes, I can see everything that has ever happened to you, and how you felt every moment of your entire existence. I can see clearly all your great wisdom and misconceptions alike. I have learned you are a mere human, easily led astray. I can hear your ancestors behind me. They may not be on the earthly plain anymore but they are still watching you. They talk to me and give me messages. Some are proud of you, some are repulsed by you. Some you know and others you don’t but they are all here behind me at all times. Their chattering is nearly impossible to silence.

Some of you may call me an angel, a messenger, or even salvation itself. I do indeed come from a great source whose presence I feel coursing through my frail veins at every moment of the day, but I am not here to save you or anyone else. I am here to learn, to watch, to guide where I can and you are none the wiser.

I can feel everything. I am but a piece of God Himself and He is all around us. I know when the weather is about to change and can feel it pumping through my heart, that burst of static electricity building in the clouds is a divine spark, it runs through me like electricity through a wire. I can feel what it’s like to be a living breathing flame, reaching forever upwards towards the clouds whose lightning gave birth to me. I am ever conscience and aware of everything and can hear each breath you take when you’re in my presence. I can see your heart beating, I know your destiny.

I haven’t even always been human since my visit because believe it or not humans are not the most important animals in existence. I have experienced life as everything on this planet and all creatures are equal. I have felt the enormous strength of a prowling tiger, the amazing agility of a leaping dolphin, the great liberation of flight as an eagle, but here too I have also been a mouse stuck in a trap, an elephant shot for its tusks, and a mosquito feasting upon your blood. If you ask me what your saving grace is I may say it’s these, the so called lower animals, who will make the saving of your home world worthwhile. They have shown emotions you can’t even contemplate and have demonstrated great honor, grace, and tenderness most of you have never opened your eyes to see.

You have all been blessed. Beauty has given you art, creativity has given music, and from each you have been blessed with a divine joy we all keep close throughout the Universe. You say mathematics is the language of intelligent life but if you ask me laughter and music are far more powerful. You don’t know it yet but everything with a mind and soul laughs. It may not be verbal but it’s always there.

If you knew who I was you may want to ask me questions but I cannot give you the answers you think you want. You may wonder why I’m here if not to save humanity, but here again I cannot tell you my reasons. You may ask your fate, if God loves you, or if your religion is the correct one. I cannot give you these answers but when you least expect it I may guide you and I promise I will never lead you astray. With my smile I will show you love, with my mind I will show you knowledge, with my presence I will show you conscience. Nothing else matters. You know where I am at all times, all you have to do is speak up and ask me anything. I will always answer but you will never know if to whom you spoke to was me or just another mortal.

With this I must leave you to your own life to bless others with your presence. You are special in every meaning of the word and I will not forsake you but give you my blessing as I once again leave my earthly body to join the conscience of the cosmos for I am an ancient being, far older then you can possibly imagine. I have been here since life first started on this earth and I have lived and died as every species ever in existence here. You, the Humans, are my last and final project and I have been watching you since your species first infant existence, painting images of the animals you worshipped on the sacred cave walls. I am still here but my time is running out. With my quest completed I will soon return to my Source and offer my individuality as a sacrifice to become part of the greater knowledge of the universe. Everything I have learned will be known then to our Source.

I am a destroyer, a creator, a giver of life. I am everything and nothing. I am both mighty and weak. I surround everything and everyone and I will always remain here watching, waiting, building, creating as the world’s first and greatest artist of balance and harmony and now I will take my observer at my side and see what he she and it have concluded.
