My feeling is that confusion reigns supreme in the debate of our origins. In archeology we see the more we find the less we know. Hominids walking with dinosaurs, the bronze age stretching back to previously un-thought of depths in time. They say there is a seed of truth in every myth and i think its also true that there is a seed at the core of this need to search for our origins. It is the search for our meaning lead by a desire to find ultimate purpose.
Perhaps it does us all good to set our minds against these impossible puzzles, perhaps in doing so we create an empathy with whats gone before us and with that a greater sense of where we are going.
My own thoughts, researches and intuition regarding spirituality so far have lead to just this, it's through us that the universe experiences itself. Everything else is just a metaphor or a lense if you like and they are all valid in their way. I will say that every god ever worshiped has one thing in common and that is us. It was us that named them, and us that described them and it was us that either maintained the gods or let them slip from their thrones. Some of our greatest scientific minds tells us maybe there's 26 or so dimensions/universes, all naming and describing their own gods and in doing so blessing themselves with their own meaning and purpose.
forgive this next analogy; if the universe was playdough we could hold and mold there would be only that amount of playdough, no more and no less yet with that finite amount of matter we can create infinite "things". I am convince i will never know if there is an entity playing with the playdough in this universe or if this universe is the entity.
One could argue that as we have our bodies which is made of the same stuff that the rest of the play dough universe is made perhaps we effect our play dough by our actions in life. when the matter/energy/playdough moves on in death perhaps it carries with it the memory of us much like playdough retains the heat of the hands using it and the discolourations after the creating is over.
i hope you managed to follow me down that rabbits warren.
keep up the good work.
I like this post. more later when I have time again... :-)

ReplyDeleteThose damn gods, and they must be what differentiates us into "streams" (aka hives) of energy that Abraham Hicks refers us to being part of, and all leading back to the source, the confrontation that created humanity. We are then, not clumps of souls that move from body to body...
ack, how do you write so deep? Your commenters are lacking and it's not because you are not interesting, but for me it's just always about where to even begin in replying.
thank you.
