In reality there is only ONE BEING. We are a part of that one being, as is the rest of creation. The source of this creation is beyond rational thought and
therefore can not be talked about but only hinted at. One thing is for sure, we are all ONE ~ One planet, One solar system, One universe, all the same being. ~ The illusion of
separateness comes from the "I" of the individual Ego, which arises from the desire of the ONE to know it's Self ~ To know, is to experience ~ To have an experience you must have duality ~
Creation duality or Possitive/Negetive, Birth/Death, Motion/Stillness, Light/Dark, Sound/Silence, Hot/Cold, Good/Bad, Love/Hate, Yin/Yang, Etc., etc, etc,. All of these
myriad of things Come and Go in Time and Space. It all takes place within
the grand illusion of Time and Space ~ What is Time? Where ever there is motion there is the experience of Time. Time is the energy behind movement itself, the very flow of experience which pours
forth from an inexhaustible source of Timelessness.
Modern physics has come close to this mystery. In quantum physics, that inexhaustible source is called a singularity.
It is a point of infinite density within which the whole universe is contained and out of which the whole universe (which means ONE word,uni ~one~ verse ~word~),), begins with a colossal explosion ~ A theory
known as the "Big Bang" Before this there is no time. The energy of the Big Bang itself is the power we call Time. Einstein said "Time is what we measure
with a clock" Of course, he also made a stunning discovery about time, He asserted that neither Time Nor Space is absolute. Time can shrink away to nothing or stretch
out to infinity. A clock on a fast moving object, such as a rocket would slow down as the rocket's speed increased. Experiments have shown this to be true. At the speed of
light, the clock would theoretically, stop running all together....Time will have contracted into an absolute "NOW" that state prior to the BIG BANG in which is
found all of the past and all of the future. This "NOW" is most mysterious. when we try to grasp what it is we falter. What exactly is "NOW"? NOW is the point of
contact, without duration, between past and future. But, what is that and how can something be without duration? Yet, we all have an intrinsic sense of what "NOW"
means, even if we can't explain it. The Upanishads tell us that "NOW" is the eternal, unchanging Witness behind the mind, who watches the unfolding of Time,
that Being, of the size of the thumb dwells within the heart, He is the Lord of Time ~ Past and future, the same today and tomorrow. He is the Immortal Self. NOW is the very source of Time.
NOW is not an intellectual concept, but a very deep perception, one that comes from the very core of our being. In the inexorable march of history, everything appears and then disappears. Mighty and glorious
civilizations are now no more. What is created is then withdrawn, and although we can not control the power of Time, we can take refuge in it, we can do this by accepting and respecting Time as GOD'S
gift to us, realizing the value and the potential of each moment. For it is how we choose to live each moment that shapes our destiny. We are the creators of our own
reality. So let us choose responsibly our thoughts, our ideas......do the right thing for ourselves, our families, our community, our country, our planet, and our universe.
We are "ONE", what we do to another, we do to ourselves |
