Why does God not show him/her/itself?

I myself don't think that Rich Kelley's NDE was a miracle. I personally wouldn't call it that. Like many other things we experience in life I can only really call his NDE 'astounding'. There are as we know many other NDEs and OBEs which are just as astounding in their own ways but, I could, as you say, identify myself with Rich Kelley's as a similar moment or similar moments have arisen in my life in various forms or conditions.
I adhere strictly to the (for me) obvious. There is no room for walking on water in my philosophies. Everything that happens no matter where in the physical universe takes place within natural laws - of which we, as yet, know little.

We are all connected to William Blake's cosmic consciousness. We only see it when there are little gaps in the clouds allowing us to see truly into that reality which isn't blocked by forms - forms created by our own intensity of being alive - an intensity which pervades the whole of creation as a mind projection. We do I think, have to be very careful when so many voices of all creeds, beliefs, sciences, philosophies etc., speak of 'spirit' and 'matter' - as if we know what they are. We do actually know nothing.

To gain any sort of understanding there is only one person who can give an answer to this great mystery and that is you (and me). No matter what we find after searching we'll always find that which confirms what we know. That reality which we call 'truth' is only recognised when each personal mind transcends itself into - let's call it - 'wider spheres'.

We may not know it 'consciously' but as Rich Kelley says we do really know far more than we think and each of us and each of everything which occupies even the smallest corner of this unimaginable place we are in adds to the wholeness and oneness of the All.

Busby,

...well said! And here's to the moment each of us remembers what we've always known.
