The universe, philosopher. What could possibly be wrong with the universe. How could you possibly object?
The most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen, right? Don’t you feel like you’re standing on holy ground?
It’s supposed to make you want to relinquish your boundaries. Your desire to organise and manage. It makes you feel small, right? And open.
And worshipful of the great organisational manager in the sky, no doubt.
The grandeur, philosopher. How can you accommodate the fact that it all exists?
Awe takes time, philosopher. Give it time.
Don’t you just want to melt into it?
Don’t you feel a bit godlike, seeing it all? It makes me feel grand. And jubilant.
It’s a monstrosity.
Sometimes I believe in God, philosopher. I have to. Just the idea that God shaped all this. All this awesome universe. And I’m full of reverence.
Awe. That’s the Grundstimmung. Forget your horrific vision.
