when i see today how people are getting away from each other it also reminds me behavior of the Universe which was started as pin point dot and then started to break into numerous small and large bodies within the space and time and now we all know that these bodies are also getting away from each other whether as galaxy or as star .
This also makes me thought of that scenario when our sun ,earth and moon formed almost 4.6 billion years ago. I just imagine the closeness of all bodies at that time and this feels enchanting and really thrilling . I think of time when earth was born and moon formed after departing from her .It must be a magical sight to find such giant moon and sun rotating very close to the planet earth among all other stars and planets . I think of early people who witnessed such incredibly dazzling nights in this world 2.5 million ago. I bet that all space bodies looked far larger to the early people back then ,almost like now scientists are able to see through huge telescopes .
I wonder what they would have thought about all the magic they stood within ?
Despite of all hardships that early people had to face for survival back then i bet they had developed deep spiritual connection with glorious stars and planets floating around them which led to imagine about supernatural divine power who seemed to create all this. Origin of faith in one divine power must arise first time from such wondrous observation which left viewers stunned and surrendered ecstatically.
Today we starve for such exceptional visual experience and head to see northern lights and find it a luxury.
Sun and moon are slipping almost 3 cm away from the earth every year .This makes me understand why moon shining on my native piece of sky looked larger 31 years back than one i see now on local sky :( Are we doing the same as human ?
As conscious part of the universe we seem to follow the behavior of the universe inevitably ? so this is we call "fate " right ?
Like stars and planets were so close to each other in the beginning of their existence we people also not different when we satrted to enjoy our life on this planet. Even before civilization there were strong bonding between people as group or community members ,Their dependency on each other had many reason including safety and food. Than came civilized era and families and societies took place. Marriages and family unit held highest place among people of the society .No matter which part of the world people lived family came first for everyone. Cultural customs and traditions held together. It was better face of humanity though what i did not like about it was it's narrow thought system. Family was everything and strangers were something to be afraid of and stay away from.
Than growing awareness broadened people's mind . Day by day increasing knowledge made people confident enough to step out of the family and be self dependent trust others and make new relationships . It also brought strangers close and slowly family seemed to fall in the background. The concept of the global village and global community added more strength in people's confidence and world seemed to get out of it's darkest hour
"the racism" This was most beautiful change indeed .But as each picture has two sides this modernity also introduced a dark side of this reality as "with time and abundance of knowledge grooming self consciousness made people to think about themselves more than others around them. Being self conscious is good but it is true that it makes one most of the time on the top of others .
So human rights and self reliance entered in the family system silently and people who were only separate physically but spiritually as one fall into brackets . The freedom was stretched enough to get around each head and hold him separate from other family member tightly. Everyone stood alone as important and demanded respect for his privacy. We needed some rules and some balance before being expose to tremendous amount of freedom but we missed the chance and now it seems no turning back until people get bored themselves by this scary freedom and try to get back to join each other willingly.
Why it is necessary to stick together ? because it will prevent us from disappearing in the space of existence .Each man is his won universe inside this is true but as human we need to stay connected and harmonize by our inner universe to create better living conditions and to sustain beauty of life. There is not any kind of dependency that will bring us close to each other but "necessity of emerging in each other ,finding ourselves in each other loosing and rediscovering each other again and keep rotating around each other as conscious part of Nature till this existence fades away in the vastness of nothingness. Love and connectivity is divine beauty of Nature and we the humans are carrier of this tradition here !
When i realize how strongly we are stuck in the pattern of universe this makes me smile okay laugh sometimes.
If look closely we see there is certain balance in structure of Nature which though sometimes tend to change it's leaning side but still manages to move back to it's real position without coming into our notice .That reminds me a saying i used to hear after each earthquake back in village " when the bull who is holding the earth on his horn changes the position it makes earth shakes a for a while "
If we rise above from personal experience of good or bad which restricts our opinion to our own mindset we probably will feel that no matter how dreadful times people of planet witnessed there still seems pretty much balance of " good" and "bad" in this world .
With broadening observation we find that whether Positive or Negative both Forces of the Nature has managed to keep balance on earth since human being came into being.
History shows worst and best part of human existence throughout the thousands of the years.I will mention only mother Teresa and Hitler .
Nature from the beginning seems to have solid plan at least it seems to me when i read ,listen about great people specially . None of great people who influenced world in any positive way led a life full of comfort ,luxury or acceptance and acknowledgement from people around them. You will see same case with almost every person who though born with exceptional talents but he remained unaware of them until Nature "pushed" him further by intensifying his life and surrounding with unbelievable challenges using whether negative people or hard circumstances around him who shaken him off first and then forced him to peek inside himself to find ways for survival eventually. There he found the treasure of gifts that later made him accomplish higher achievements that might have stayed beyond his imagination in case if he would have not gone through miseries.
I watched a video about how mountain form. When plates moving under the surface of earth create certain pressure from around, some part of squeezing plate try to find way out and this makes him "rise" from the plain surface of the earth as high land. Same story about the diamond whom transforms a long period of confinement and constant environment of terrible pressure. Even spherical bodies form because of tremendous pressure they feel around them.
Doesn't it sound to you that "to be something or someone meaningful" one has to go through certain and lots of pressure ?
If it was not plan of the Nature why two forces seem to oppose each other everywhere in this world ?
Why Nature chose the difficult play instead of smooth easy existence?
I can't tell sorry ! but all i know that Nature is enjoying what she is doing and as conscious part of her we have to go through all this willingly or unwillingly anyway .
Being a Nature lover makes me have faith in the plan of Nature and try to follow her obvious rules she displayed through her various behaviors .
It also makes me have faith that in the whole Oneness of Universe we human are chosen as conscious part of the Nature to process " Nature herself " and thus we form here " The Body Of The Humanity" on this earth .So we are obliged to be responsible for each other's well being as all other cells and organs of any living or non living body. Like If any single cell or organ of the body does not acts accordingly it makes body suffer and fall ill or decay and die eventually .
Similarly we humans as cells and organs of the "body of humanity " can't act selfishly .if we do it hurts the system of whole body though we ignore because the process of such" harm " in the Nature is slow and appears later enough to come to our notice but later people see it's negative effects in coming times.
What actually Nature want from us ?
I think we are the Nature and right now what we can observe is that The Divine force of the Nature which seems to appear in numerous forms is doing something which does not seem random to me at all. The formation of things from tiny to huge don't look baseless or useless at all science has proven it already that from bacteria to largest thing is serving in the Plan of the Nature somehow.
So how can we be random or waste ?
As most important part of Nature's plan we have consciousness ,not just awareness of ourselves but never ending thirst for learning everything around. We are different from each other and it also serves the plan or may be as our journey as "body of the humanity " is on from immaturity to maturity .Our brain are sharpening ,our thinking process is getting better and deeper. We are on the edge where we are trying to stepping into our brains which will surely lead us towards something unusual and big.
It is like peeking in the heart of Nature and trying to find out what lies there for us as specie .
If this is nonstop circle of existence and there exist so many other far advanced species in other galaxies then our journey has just began. Our transformation from physical to some other form of the energy is our next destination probably. Which will be the way to travel in deep space freely like fireflies.
Until then we are busy in our immature state doing stuff that does not matter for people we are going to be in far future.
The earlier we learn the true meaning of our existence the better this planet will be as home for us.

Happy 2022, Baili!
You're a deep thinker! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Wishes to you and your family dear Baili.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
My mother used to say 'don't look too deep inside yourself or you may not find your way out!!! thank you for your thought provoking, spiritual posts throughout the year Baili and your friendship through blogging :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you were going with this post when you started out with a little history of the universe. I didn't think you were going to the family and society in general. Nice post for New Year's eve. All the best to you in 2022.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Baili. You are such a deep soul. Happy 2022 to your and your family!
ReplyDeleteYou are the deepest thinker I know, Baili, and I am indeed thankful that you share your thoughts because speaking for myself they are so interesting and provocative. I do see that people are drifting away from one another and that saddens me greatly. People are so quick to send a text or email rather than call or write a letter. Also, the continuing pandemic situation is causing such isolation and fear and I know of some people who will not visit one another, despite being alone themselves. It is a sad situation.
ReplyDeletewow such an interesting post - ..you write so lyrical and poetically and of course spiritually.
ReplyDeleteI love your thoughts :-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have finished your pneumonia treatments. I hope you are fully fecovered now.
