Cannot Change

I don’t know why we vex ourselves over a lack of faith in a God.  I think the key is acceptance.  If you don’t believe in a God then don’t worry about it.  Accept the things you cannot change.  If you say that you believe in nothing, then you can become quite a mystic.  Meister Eckhart says that God is “No Thing.”  He prayed.  Buddha said God neither is nor is not, and he meditated, a lot.  Just because someone says that they believe in God, does it mean their belief is more than their imagination in some image or person somewhere?  They would say yes, but then I ask how truly transformed they really are?  It seems to me that some of the best non-believers in the “Idea” of God, are some of the best prayers and meditators and the most transformed.  So pray to no thing, and you might be on to something.  How to pray to “no thing”?  Stop talking, and thinking about...Be still and silent.  Your problem may be more with the stillness and silence.  We can use our lack of “faith” as an excuse.
