NOW WAS THEN AND WILL BE

If the Big Bang theory is correct, as it may be, what we are now was united, and so, undivided.

Before the alleged hyperinflation phase of expansion, we were everywhere at once. We were radiation and in some ways, timeless. What unfolded, from my vantage-point, has every appearance of design, a design that made energy into matter, unfolded it into many types of containers, yet left interrelationships as a dimension of ever emerging definition in process.

In my reflection so far, nothing seems to contradict itself, or self negate. Whatever would, would cease to exist. And that is being generous towards contradiction. This puts us in a seeming paradox, we disagree, have conflict, accidents, and other seeming anomalies that seem to suggest randomness. This randomness or chaos would appear to lack design. It would seem to allow both contradiction and relative annihilation. To my or your always subjective vantage-point, something of existence seems to be open to our imaginations to believe anything we like. How can that be an expression of universal consistency? Hence our existential pondering as to the meaning of life.

The trouble with the subjective is; it is never all knowing. I never am tracking all processes and relationships in the universe. In a sense, we know so little it might as well be called nothing. Our seeming knowing is relative to our subjectively perceived associations and abilities to comprehend parts of processes. I could be the worlds smartest person, and know less than next to nothing. We may each posses profound abilities relative to what we know as a self, or assume as a species, but the mind is still profoundly destined to be the subject of speculation, not pure knowing.

THE SECRET SELF

We do have an intrinsic secret; we are an expression of everything that is. We have the ability to know a connection to all knowing, the grand process of being, because we are each a manifestation of it. No matter how lost I am, how confused. No matter how wrong things seem. (And knowing lies are claimed to be truth.) No matter any dysfunction, a perfect union dwells within. Like it or not.

This once and future perfection is with us now. What we do with our secret union, will define what we become.
