Some notes on existence



Earth is life’s starship, piggybacking on solar system to ride across the universe. Gathering the momentum of galaxy, the sun moves eons in its dance around the galactic core. Life piggybacks and takes a trip around the universe on this starship called Earth.

The individual has such a small scale compared to that of life. And life, that to the universe. It is like sharing context of a microbe with a human being. How long can you hold the attention? Many microbes can come and go meanwhile. Individual there has little value in our context. So we in the context of universe. But to us, our individuality is the whole universe apprehended. So paradoxical. 

*

Detachment of a God. 9 million species, and many more unique instances in each. Each a growing changing being seeing the world through its unique vantage point. An individual universe still. Framing it through reason and logic is perhaps seeing it partially. There is as many levels of reason and then there is a whole. Windows to the world. Perhaps life is God's windows to the world - rippled mirrors, each reflecting a little view of the universe, and in its entirety perhaps a little mroe. Still life itself is of one nature. Perhaps God's nature is a complement. All such wonders. If there be something divine, it is above us, beyond us, yet within us.

As to mirror, perhaps a connection with what is perhaps a God, I like to think it is an ongoing conversation, a discovery even for a God, who likes to contemplate. Perhaps they let something hidden, just a little thing and converse with that little thing - they can encompass all the rest of the universe, and that little thing its own little ground, and then they converse. For God, there is all to tell, for the little thing there is a unique pov and all to know...both knowing each other, learning, growing. I like to think, language is that sphere in which things meet, things meet that do not belong to same scale and hence share little, but meet - like we meet people from 2nd century in a book, so perhaps one meets God in thought and language. Beyond that, in the logical world, we are such little specks of dust, however one fits infinity in it, except in thought?

*

Because at the end of the day, what does one monarch over? What do they even do? If you have the entire universe, perhaps you just wish for companionship and conversation and laughter to share it with? A sort of unknowing -learning -knowing - growing interplay between the divine and say, human, or perhaps life itself.

*

And as to the business of living:

I like to think of it as the concept of trinity mentioned in some Hindu cosmology. Three energies of God - creation, preservation and dissolution. I feel one can find oneself anchored in either of these three energies which are reflection of divine. Be it being inspired by something and thus led to action (creation), in preservation (this is the core function - human reflection is care of self and surrounds, in expanding circles), and dissolution (perhaps a dissolving of ego? of self? of absorption in something more than a self). So at the core, still the divine as a companion. And for the living blues, one can find the anchors in these three energies of divine - just tap into it.
