43 – God is not …
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011The similarities between the fundamental characteristics of our bodies and those of our Universe are astonishing.
- Like our Universe, you and I are a congregation of elements gathered together into a self-bounded, self-generating, self-perpetuating, cohesive whole;
- Like our Universe, you and I are inherently endowed with a relative degree of freedom to unfold into increasing complexity;
- Like our Universe, you and I are a self-generating, self-energizing, self-organizing system capable of manipulating and being manipulated by the movement of Evolution.
These are incontrovertible facts that prove our incontestable interconnectedness with all of Nature, which makes it difficult to understand why we persist in enforcing the fallacy that we are independent of the natural world.
There is a Human yearning to know what we truly are. We are naturally very curious, especially during our younger years, but then we are indoctrinated … educated! … into following socio-economic and religious ideologies, that are not only divisive and destructive but bent on enslaving for their own gain the natural inquisitiveness of the human mind.
But whether or not we follow an ideology, there is no way to deny the fact that, like water molecules within the flow of a river, we unfold within a Primordial Force … Something, or Someone, immensely creative, ruthless, self-generating, self-organizing, and beautifully ordered … that instinctively, and forcefully drives us to bond and self-generate to perpetuate its own unfolding. Some may say this Primal Force is Nature, but Nature is just one of Its manifestations.
When we climax in consensual sexual intercourse, we touch this Primordial Force; we reach a summit in which we become one with It. There is, at that moment, much more than just pleasure; there is wonder at what has taken place, at how primal, mysterious, profound, beautiful we can be. Some of us try to become one with this Force through meditation; it is an arduous and often times rewarding experience, but nothing brings us closer as the ecstasy of sexual climax, especially when both participants reach it at the same time. We become One, not only with one another but with that Something, Someone, immensely beautiful.
God is not the cruel and vengeful old men created by the imagination of men thousands of years ago. God might be the elusive yet touchable Force driving us to bond, self-generate, and self-perpetuate, so It might continue to unfold into greater levels of order and complexity – kind of how we drive neurons in our brain to bond in novel ways, so we might evolve into greater levels of awareness.
