Sensorium Dei

You are not what you think. There is so much more to you than what your conditioning has led you to believe. Let me start at the beginning:

BOOM! The universe is created. You are contained, with the rest of the universe, in a singularity existing with everything that ever was, is and will be. 

Under pressure and intense heat, you and the rest of all that exists are propelled rapidly outward into space. You burn white hot, illuminating immeasurable distances with your energy. 

You begin to break apart and spread out through the new universe inhabiting all forms, from gas to solid, and all elements. You are protons, neutrons, electrons, deuterium, helium, and hydrogen - you are everything. You crash together with other atoms and gases and form plasmas scattered across the vast reaches of your habitation. All are you.

As you cool you recombine with your counterparts that were lost during the sundering. A great darkness falls on all of creation.

Suddenly, catalyzed by your overabundant mass, you collapse in on yourself. You become re-ionized and from you spouts the first stars ever to be conceived! They burn away the dark emptiness of space. 

They came from you. They are made of you. They are you. And you are them.

You cluster with your local collective. All are you.

You are propelled by the vast gravity of your counterparts as you spiral across the universe collecting everything in your path.

Your newly acquired mass invokes you into a perpetual dance with gravity. You begin to expel gas which gets caught by your perpetual motion.

As you spin in place you begin to flatten, and the gas and matter particles you have collected begin to combine and crash into each other and create new formations. These gas and matter particles and their new creations came from you. They are made of you. They are you. And you are them.

This is happening everywhere at the same time, from the beginning of time until the end.

These new forms are thrown outward, tearing themselves from your gravitational pull. This slows your spinning down to a steady, stable pace.

Once you settle, your gravitational mass begins pulling the residual dust and chunks of matter left by your creations back into your gravitational influence.

Your gravity pulls these dust particles and matter chunks together to form larger bodies of mass until your entire locality is completely clear of dust and gases, and full body planets have formed. You hold them in place as they orbit around you, and they anchor you to your station in perfect symbiosis, as you rotate on your axis. They came from you. They are made of you. They are you. And you are them.

As time passes, these satellites grow and transform, reacting to the conditions you have created for them and the atoms you have given them.

As one of these forms, who has undertaken immense change over a relatively short period of time, you begin to stabilize. 

Your very own chemical composition forms an atmosphere which creates new chemical reactions and bonds. 

At first you are incredibly hot and your atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide and water.

When you cool it begins to rain, which creates oceans on your surface. This also dissolves much of the carbon dioxide.

You have placed yourself at the perfect distance away from your massive and torrid self. You are not too hot, nor are you too cold. 

Life begins to grow in your oceans.

Oxygen begins to accumulate in your atmosphere.

Life begins to grow in your soil, producing more oxygen and setting the stage for land life.

Over long periods of time, life evolves in your waters and on your soil, all of which came from you. They are made of you. They are you. And you are them.

Billions of years later, you find yourself sitting in front of your computer or on your mobile electronic device reading this blog. 

You, who are made from yourself with a history as old as time itself, sits there reading this. You perceive this as being written by someone else; by me. But it is not. It is written by you. It is written by us all. It is the story of our species; it is the story of our universe. We come from the Earth and we are made of the Earth which makes us all apart of the Earth. Just as Earth came from the star that came from the dust cloud that came from the singularity at the beginning of creation. 

Everything that was in that singularity is what makes up everything now! All atoms, down to the most miniscule particle, that existed then still exist now! And we are made from them! The atoms that make up the chemicals that make up the matter that makes up life that makes up existence that makes up the universe all are inside of us! They are us! We are them! We are as old as time itself!

Within us exists even more universes made up of the billions of atoms that make up the entire human physiological system! They are made of us and we are made of them. EVERYTHING IS ONE!

This is the greatest mystery of the human experience. This is the existence of the non-existence of duality...

Duality is at the very heart of this mystery. We are a collective unit, living out individualized experiences with each other. We come from the very same place and we have been together for all - time.

Inside of each and every one of us rests the entire history of the universe. Everything that has ever happened and will happen - all the knowledge ever to be conceived by the mind of all existence - is literally in us. In our blood, in our DNA, in our skin, in our hair, in our hearts, in our guts, in our brains and in our minds; all of existence. 

Yet we live out our separate lives, separate from each other and separate from the Earth, stars, planets and the universe. This illusion is the concept of "I" which is derived from the ego. We are given an identity from birth, labeled by gender and the roles that have been created for them. We are given names, cementing our separation from our oneness. We are conditioned by our parents' and family's beliefs, by our religious institutions, by our media and by our government. We focus, as a collective, mostly on what separates us as a people rather than what connects us. This is all the doing of ego. 

To know of the inherent oneness of all creation and to live this is the essence of Enlightenment. It is the highest wisdom of our dimension. It is the water that extinguishes the flame of ego. It is the very panacea our species needs to survive.

But everybody needs to be apart of it.

Imagine what lies outside the boundaries of ego. Love, wisdom, peace, harmony; some would argue that making this change would trigger the next step in human evolution. 

These concepts of love, wisdom, peace, and harmony are all embodied as energies. When we feel love we feel it to our core. It is a physiological response in our systems. The same goes for fear (the opposite of love - hate is a product of fear) or any other emotion. The science of which can be described as a triggering of chemicals in our brains catalyzed by electrical impulses that release chemicals into our nervous system. These electrical impulses are caused by external or internal stimuli. Our brains are firing off these electrical impulses constantly, whether we are at rest or in motion. These impulses control EVERY SINGLE THING OUR BODIES DO. Literally everything. 

Like all things that are run by electricity, this process creates an electromagnetic field around ourselves. This is what is known and has been known in spiritual circles for thousands of years or more, as the aura.

By the way, these electrical impulses that are triggered by outside stimulus are formed by atoms in your brain that have existed since the beginning of time.

Anyway, this aura gives off your energy and other people are capable of picking that energy up. This is why sometimes when we meet someone for the first time we just don't like them. We cannot rationalize it because we cannot explain it. We say it's just a feeling we get from them. 

Well, that's exactly it. You're picking up their internal energy system and it is repelling your own. Conversely, this is why when you meet some people, it feels like you've known them all your life. Their energy is very much in tune with your own. 

Now, imagine a planet that harbored beings that loved one another and their planet and chose to lift the veil of this duality and exist together as one. This love is not romantic love, as seems to be the most important and sometimes only relevant kind in western culture. This love can only be compared to the kind of unconditional love that we idealize most as love between mother and children. But it is maximized to its highest potential and, most importantly, without ego.  

How do you think life on this planet would feel? What do you think society would be like? If love and other energies can transform human physiology, how do you think this species would look and act? What could they do? 

Perhaps love can transform human physiology to the point that we would no longer have a need to verbally express our thoughts, but instead transfer them to willing recipients. Perhaps humans would no longer need form and thus no longer be bound to the laws of third dimensional physics. Maybe humans would even transcend the third dimension and come to be on a higher more idealized plane of existence.

The only way to know is to experience it. The only way to experience it is together.

This is the existence of the non-existence of duality expressing the radiance of ultimate reality. 

"I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human." - Tool, Lateralus
