..a few thoughts for inner peace.
Look up at the sky on a cloudless night and ponder that there is no end to the universe.
Out beyond the billions of galaxies there is not a wall or barrier.
It is now impossible to imagine that the Catholic Church would imprison Galileo for discovering and attempting to prove that the sun did, in fact , not revolve around the earth - a mere 400 years ago.
Some scientists are beginning to believe that the universe always existed. If there were no big bang and beginning of creation - many of our our beliefs about God and the beginning of the universe would disappear.
Try to imagine what it was like when we discovered that the earth was not flat
That is a fearful thing for many people who are genetically predisposed to have extremely finite thinking.
Suddenly, we would have nothing to fear...God has always been and always will be.
Our brief life on earth is a mere speck of sand in the whole of universal time.
The existence of humanity is an infinitesimally small period in the timelessness of the entire universe.
And yet there is spirit. There is the human soul. The human mind.
In light of an endless universe - how could we possibly doubt the unfathomable significance of humanity and the human spirit.
This fact should radically change our perceptions of everything about us .
We are all one.
We are all equal.
We are all infinite beings.
We are all a part of a universe that we cannot describe, understand or comprehend...
and yet we cannot get along with one another, we are ignorantly bound by race, color, nationality and belief.
Our national leaders and institutions have no concept that we live in a perfectly ordered universe -
our own pitiful misunderstanding of the meaning of life is basically irrelevant.
God is truly in His heaven and all is right with the world.
The bombing of the World Trade Center is perhaps one of the most recent examples of cultural ignorance and irrelevance. We perpetuate hate and malice out of ignorance - humanity does not wish to face the fact that "all men are created equal" and we have to ask the question...will we wipe out all of humanity for one reason alone...because we fear the unknown, the unexplainable and the unknowable? Is the origin of human existence some horrible cosmic mistake?
We are at the crossroads of the most significant period in all of humanity.
The human brain and it's complexities are in direct proportion to the unfathomable depth of an endless universe. The next wave of discovery will involve something that none of us are prepared for...the connection between the polarities in the human brain and the entire cosmos, it's pure physics.
- - but for now, it still appears that fear alone - will be the ultimate death of humanity...
Can you possibly comprehend how men like Copernicus and Galileo must have felt when they KNEW that the earth was not flat and that the earth actually revolved around the sun!
Can you possibly comprehend something so unfathomable as a universe and a "God "who always ...was, and is and will be, world without end. amen
Why do we fear the obvious.
