We are spiritual beings, who - being conscious of itself has chosen to
experience itself through extension. I like to tell people of a
great truth that came to me during my meditation. I have had a
number of these life altering experiences. I had the dawning that
there was not a singular voice that said "let there be.."
it was a chorus of voices that said "let there be." My
voice was in the midst of those voices, as was yours.
We have such limited perceptions of ourselves. We
some how think that we are small and powerless when in reality we are one
with all that is.
I love science today, it proves the very existence of
God in my mind. Let me see, I can describe this to you in a number
of ways, but the quickest would have to be to look at the molecular break
down of water H2O, no matter where you find it or in what
quantity you find it it's molecular structure is still the same.
Ice, steam, snow, however. Accordingly, there is a limited number of
elements found on this earth, right? At the atomic level they are
known to consist of a proton, neutron and that stuff - follow me now
because I am rusty at this stuff, its been a while.
Atoms are the
smallest basic element of the universe according to science. The universe is
made up of these tiny atoms constantly splitting and dying on and on
into infinity. Is this not the same thing that happens on the back
of your hand? Is it not the same thing that happens in your
life? People reproducing - giving birth to what will eventually
die. Is it not the totality of all God. G-O-D is the subatomic
structure back of all of life, the energy that orders and animates
life. Not just sub-atomically but it is the totality too.
So the analogy I use is that we are to God as a drop
is to the ocean. Oh and here is another thought - if you could
capture a wave, a single wave, out of the ocean and brought it on land
maybe put it in a tub or pool. It would be just be water
right? The ocean in combination with the moon and countless other
factors is what creates the energy that makes a wave. Apart from
which its just a puddle of water.
What is funny is that even as I write this, I realize
that so many will say that this proves nothing. Is that not what
faith is for? Faith is visionary, knowing what is
without vision or proof.
Anyway those are my thoughts for the day. Well
probably just my reflections for the moment. I may revisit this
again or may not who knows. Here's my disclaimer.
This is brain drain for me and the thoughts are just that thoughts.
Sorry, I hadn't planned to polish them for you with a good editing
job. I realize that I don't own thoughts but like anyone else I like
credit for what comes through me. I had a friend who said to me that
everyone who shares their great gifts receives great gifts by
acknowledging them as such and passing them along. You know how it
goes - a gift is not a gift until you give it away and in your giving you
open yourself up to receive more and therefore to give more. There
is truly a flow, a rhythm to life.
