Remember Mindfulness – feel your body from top to toes

Trust in a Higher Power

In the book The Outsider, the hero Meursault is shown as a cold-bloodied murderer awaiting execution who says that he has only a little time left and he doesn’t want to waste it on God. That is an astonishingly arrogant statement. The author, Albert Camus is trying to shock the reader, but he is also saying somewhat bleakly, that total honesty, and uncompromising self-sufficiency is the only answer, if you believe God does not exist. Camus does not want this to be the case, indeed he spent his life attempting to transcend nihilism. Believing in a Higher Power allows us to feel we are connected. Do I feel I am not alone?

Blaise Pascal’s thoughts on the existence of God are known as Pascal’s Wager: If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that he exists. This is a sensible approach, but much better to believe completely in a Higher Power. Today, I reflect on the further words of Pascal: there is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man.
