Stillness Is the Key by Ryan Holiday

line is so spot on: It’s not that we need to believe that God is great,
only that God is greater than us.
Even if we are the products of evolution and randomness, does
this not take us right back to the position of the Stoics? As subjects to
the laws of gravity and physics, are we not already accepting a
higher, inexplicable power?
We have so little control of the world around us, so many
inexplicable events created this world, that it works out almost
exactly the same way as if there was a god.
The point of this belief is in some ways to override the mind. To
quiet it down by putting it in true perspective. The common language
for accepting a higher power is about “letting [Him or Her or It] into
your heart.” That’s it. This is about rejecting the tyranny of our
intellect, of our immediate observational experience, and accepting
something bigger, something beyond ourselves.
Perhaps you’re not ready to do that, to let anything into your
heart. That’s okay. There’s no rush.
Just know that this step is open to you. It’s waiting. And it will
help restore you to sanity when you’re ready.
