If you, as I do, take God to be the Knower within each of us, which we project outside of ourselves (Because how could this knowledge be “of us”?) onto God, or demons, then you know we are on our own and quite alone in the universe.
Then that would sober us up a bit, I think, knowing it all depends upon us, and rests with us, what we do with it, how we tend it, and treat each other, and the planet that is ours to steward, tend and care for, and we cannot just throw it away because it is OURS! It belongs to US! And we are responsible to it, and for it, and to each other, and for each other.
And we need to look to, and depend upon, the Knower within a lot more often and throughly than we do, for guidance and direction in knowing and doing what is called for in each situation as it arises. Because it all depends upon us.
