Once again, out of Nothingness, the All, as a seed, exploded into an infinity of possibilities, fragments of itself, which in their turn exploded into an infinity of possibilities, the sequence repeating itself, infinitely; or in a reality ruled, as it is in ours, by the concept of time, as long as Time is meant to flow.
Unity, fragmented, over and over, infinitely, playing with, and experiencing, the possibilities within a bottomless cauldron of a simmering soup of possibilities, picking this one, discarding that one, with each seed germinating, becoming something, elements that make up a universe, a galaxy, a constellation, a star, a planet, life, ecosystems, fauna, flora, humans, men, women, children, cells, particles, cities, villages, institutions, machines, technology, music, noise, art, consumed goods, rubbish, ideas, thoughts, actions, reactions, possibilities, energy, nothing…
In a world measured by Time, the All Becomes. And, once it has become, it flows back toward Nothingness, toward Absolute Unity. Then, even Time itself, being nothing but a possibility, a seed, is called back into that very Nothingness. Thus, a cycle ends. Thus, a cycle begins.
Unable to grasp this truth, the human mind has tried, and that since its birthing, to explain its origin, its place in this vast phenomenon that is life. Unfortunately, the best it could do was make up stories, such as this one, myths of creation, building cosmologies out of thin air, and as it has been in our current reality, by assigning the role of creation to a single divinity.
Over and over, and within every single civilization known, or somewhat known to us, humans end up turning faulty theories into hard solid facts, creating rigid rules to defend shaky viewpoints based on the limitations of our physical nature.
However, and despite the inherent faultiness of our conscious endeavors, signs of the True nature of this All that encompasses everything that is, was, and will ever be, and therefore Us included. Clues abound, stored in our unconscious minds, within our warped myths of creation, in nature itself, and in our archetypal symbols, (i.e., the infinity symbol, the heart symbol, the Native American’s Wanka Tanka, yin yang, the alchemical circle, the Tarot’s wheel of fortune, the whirling of a Sufi dervish, the sun cross, the Celtic cross, the flower of life, a large number of Yantras...)
Such symbols have, over and over again, been intuited by, and revealed to those who were able to slip from the limitations of the mind into what could be referred to as states of unblemished clarity.
If meditated on, these symbols have the power to carry us into unexpected pathways of association, and revelation which no organized religion, no biased explanation of creation would ever be able to take us to. Allowed to do their work, they can point us, in the right direction.
Thus, having allowed, having opened our hearts, having emptied our minds, having giving up on knowing, we glimpse the path, which if followed leads us in the most intuitive and effortless of ways to the Truth of the All, and therefore to our own Truth.
What symbols speak to you? Which symbol are you most attracted to? Have you ever taken time to meditate on it? If you haven’t, I invite you to give it a try. I invite you to take time, to make time, 15 minutes of meditation on a symbol you feel resonates with you are enough -surely you can spare 15 minutes…
Then again, just have ice cream, or chocolate, or whatever tickles your tastebuds.
Be well. Be joyful.
