is a journey inward. Spirituality and Art manifest, become the lens--an nth sense--to our Philosophy and Scientific Inquiry. We feel the illuminating effects of fresh discoveries before our very eyes, as well as behind them, before Our Very Eye.
We begin to see ourselves, life, and beauty in all things. Our gaze transfixed, we sense some kind of groundedness in space and time, a permanence of sorts. We become part of the environment around us, it becomes us, and all are one in a universal state that exists across all forms of temporo-corporal spectra--to which we are only acutely aware of an infinitely small portion
We sense ourself, like a body, or an electron, winding along the path that is our life. At some point, we sense a top-down effect of our collective memory on events from our past, and perception is altered both through the looking glass and from outside. Usually, we have a sense of the origin of our individual electron--though we do not remember the event--as our birth. Some of us spend the rest of our electron's seemingly random journey, which simultaneously seems connected by will, contemplating the the next note-worthy event: our death.
And what about the body of this electron? As we move through life, we carve out a small space through time. Like a boat that cuts through water to displace a portion the size and shape of its hull--the water coming back together behind her--we superficially observe our boat having little permanent effect on the water's surface. But our limited head space must be taken into measure when we make these observations, and we must use some abstract power to get ourselves from inside this tiny head to outside in the unlimited universe, where we are granted a special power by our imagination to travel from here to one side of the universe and back just like that. If we extrapolate our new appreciation for beauty and life as binding us to and through our environment, including what we think are inanimate objects, and realize that the perception of space and time is random--that we only see an exceedingly limited portion of reality--can we not see our electron is attracted to a different dimension of us that we do not perceive in the here and now with our standard senses?
I am not sure if a body like this ought to be regarded as somehow higher than us, because it is us, just in a different dimension. We have already witnessed a feed-back effect of our limited perception becoming widened by the extension of our timelines. If we keep extrapolating out, we arrive at a body of memories that starts and ends with our birth and death, and this thing exists in this universe permanently. But why stop there? We are a part of everything, completely enmeshed in this matrix of reality, our electron is part of a body that is playing electron to a different body, let's say Earth, so we are now a planet. The earth has its timeline, our human memories seem to have an origin and we might conceive an end, but the earth has been made a life-form by our supernatural ability to project. It is us, and its start and end can be carried out to become a new body orbiting something else.
Let's take this to the edge of the universe. It will not matter if you do not believe an 'edge of the universe,' because the outcome will be the same. Here we arrive at a theoretical point that has caused a lot of pain in our human history. Of course, this is the boundary we have settled on in the Earth year 2016 A.D.; not long ago, it was heresy to mention that the 'globe' was not the center of the universe and being orbited by moon, sun, and everything else. Religious ventures have taken up the task of dealing with everything that, only superficially, seems to be 'beyond' the edge. Those with vested interest in the prosperity of their religion often claim an infinite universe, but they double back over themselves to say there is a God that exists 'outside', or 'in' but not for us to perceive, or something that starts to sound somewhat silly given the elaborate breakdown from above. Are we not this God? Is God just the representation of an infinite regression of the extrapolation we took above to get a sense that we are more than just a pile of flesh? And God has just become an electron. The seemingly infinite is infinitely small.
Great. So we have just discovered God, and the idea of 'life' has seemed to fall to the wayside in this discussion, as we can simply observe a particle to which it would be silly to classify as 'life-form'. But It is very much alive, as We are alive, and We are It. As We can observe an electron, It can observe Us. We can manipulate It, It can manipulate us. But We are also It.
Morally, it would seem imperative to regard the picture painted here when deciding what the path we carve looks and feels like... If there is a lot of pain, that pain exists permanently, and we will always feel it, death baring no remission. I cannot help but think that it is in my best interest to spread as much love and joy as I possibly can, and to make a life worth living that I could enjoy forever, if this abstract thought experiment even remotely represents a picture of our reality as it exists in and out of our perceived human-life timeline. Something I read long ago reminds me that many religious thoughts have indoctrinated people to hold stead-fast to a set of morals for the sole-purpose of getting accepted into an extreme bliss, Heaven, after they die. The author argued that morals should be adopted from our perception of the here and now, and that we create our Heaven on Earth when we act in loving ways. The view I have presented stands in spite of either view and in support of each one. Yes, we create our Heaven, Hell, or something else on Earth, and we do not simply "go to..." after we die, because we are already in it, we are It! We are the perception itself.
Power is meaningless in this picture... Only love, and possibly work, seem to matter. We have shrunk ourselves and God, collapsing into one, with simple logic. The word God has been given a great deal of attention here, but if human thought gradually accepts a collective view that deflates God the way it has been here, it would scarcely need any mention in explaining the nature of everything entirely, except perhaps in history lessons.
If you read this far, I hope you enjoyed it. I just poured it out without any editing. It came to me in a vision. It was just the image of me, as an electron, and my greater self existing as a different dimensional being. It took me only a few seconds to realize that the same logic I used to witness myself as different life form could carry me to Earth, the Sun, the Milky Way, the Universe, and, duh-duh-duh, God.
Some meditation quickly revealed my own sense of necessity to avoid pain and seek love, as a pseudo-moral code founded on scientific abstraction. I did not need an angelic creature to give me any messages or tell me what I need to do. I simply saw something that I thought looked pretty cool, and I decided to share it.
It feels like a piece of art, to me, and that makes it very personal. It also imbues it with a level of immunity from criticism or judgment, because once the painting is done, it's done. Not to say I'm not open to hearing differing opinions, but that is not my purpose here. I have not made any attempt to disprove anyone's belief or prove something. I simply hope I have showed, that for me, my formerly ambiguous 'belief' on the matter no longer has any relevance in my life. I can believe gravity or not, it does not stop me from falling when I trip. I am my art, and religious people and their thoughts are also in it. Everyone is right in their beliefs and opinions, the above picture is still clear for any to see, whether they kneel on Sunday morning or scoff at such behavior.
In a perfect world, all warring religions would see this picture like it was hanging in front of them, clear as day, for them to witness with their all their senses. They would then realize that they were killing themselves, and that they were all one and connected by love. Religious concepts that have plagued human ventures for centuries would become irrelevant.
The scalpel of science has not been used to deconstruct a rich, unknowable, God-like reality into a lifeless particle, but to carve into that particle a beautiful picture of one person's view of an infinitely connected mosaic of reality that simply transcends, taking the viewers along with it. I hope you enjoyed.
