Boggling Ideas

Most of us are hardly able to comprehend the universe, much less the cosmos. What boggling ideas will we look at today? One would be to glimpse for even one moment that everything in our universe, all galaxies, and our sun collaborate — nothing in or on Planet Earth is created by itself, alone.

A part of my personal cosmology is this. Our challenge is to reinvent the human species — the whole ball of wax, no matter how long it takes — for mutually enhancing relationships with all living creatures, not just between humans, but for support and certain unity for all living beings on Planet Earth.

There are as many catalysts for bringing people together for imagining reinventions of relationships as there are the nearly imaginable possibilities of new relations. When considering alternatives, addictions to western religion and money are two catalysts with which to start.

With those two catalysts in mind, another boggling challenge would be to negate other addictions that were installed not just during the 20th century but as early as 6,500 years ago in Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations. We should not wonder any more how history repeated itself. Religion, finance, and subjugations of females and children have been some addictive tools managing civilizations through their rises and declines.

I wish it weren’t true, but what was once well-ordered has its time of decay. Those who’ve chosen to acknowledge Earth’s Grand Phase Change note that humans weren’t around when the most recent of four previous phase changes occurred some 65 million years ago, resulting in extinctions of species.

Only a sliver of humankind, some geologists, agronomists, astrophysicists, sociologists, cosmologists and so on, are empathically acknowledging the current phase. They are collaborating to envision new ways of relating, knowing what it's like for the blind to lead the blind since there are no published books, white papers, nor newsletters in which bullet points relieve one’s curiosity. Staying awake to matters of the future was inferred in the following poem composed for Staying Awake, July 5, 2005.

Absorbed in blazes of commerce,
Awakened by instants of truth
Descending surely and loudly upon us
As whispers in falling snowflakes.

The Grand Phase Change is the sun’s changing relationship with Earth accompanied by humans’ intuitive interactions in the process. Earthlings as a whole don’t yet sense our species is part of the intimate changes unfurling, since geopolitical distractions and socioreligious addictions have become well blended and fortified by current media stories projecting angst and fluff.

In moments of grieving losses during these days of rapidly driven international changes, I feel I’m being birthed again with fewer illusions. Thank goodness for the image of the purplish-red, mythical Phoenix bird rising new life from ashes.

A challenge would be to relate to ourselves and those we’ve chosen to surround us as Phoenixes rising in renewed passion for our mission at hand! ‘Everything is possible’ hasn’t exactly been part of our training; neither have the ideas that Universe is compassionate and caring while natural extinctions of stars occur by exquisite explosions in the Milky Way galaxy. Powerful episodes within the physical universe affect our sun, which impacts Earthlings. Those are a few of the boggling ideas that create the perfect place to be — in the unknown.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
