Post #117 "Within the Womb"

What is it like to live within the womb of creation? What is it like cut off from Reality? What is it like living within Time? We should know, we the people of the womb. We should know, we of beginnings and endings. We of birth and death. We know about beginnings, consequently we have no idea of what occurred before us, outside our awareness, we of Intelligence, we of consciousness. We know only our ideas, our planning, our choice. What does 'beginning' mean? What do the opening words of the bible mean by "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth....". What does science mean by saying that in the beginning creation resulted from the Big Bang. What about 'endings'...both religion and science admit to an ending that is understood by religion as a prediction, "heaven and earth will pass away...." (Mark 13:31) and by science as an observation of the break-down of atoms into smaller and smaller particles until finally losing all definition, also just pass away.

We live within a confining Place, called creation, called womb, and we do not know that there is existence beyond our limitations....the sky seemed limitless but now in history we are beginning to suspect that it isn't. Now, finally in our Time, we can move from seeing just sky to seeing way beyond into the universe, galaxy and cosmos. It is difficult to know that which we cannot see. This extended parameter is now the parameter of our existence . A few years ago our parameters were the far-reaches of the known world. But did not the universe exist even then when we were not aware of it? And what of matter or substance..... all that which is our worldly value, all that that we possess? As substance converts back to energy, what do we own besides a pocketful of energy? Our parameters have fooled us into thinking that there is Nothing beyond our creation...our creation being the limits of our imagination-- -beyond all that we have dreamt, beyond all that we are dreaming, and beyond all that we are yet to dream. All this dreaming, all this planning and all this yearning that makes us who we are, all totally outside Reality. We have it wrong. While we think that anything beyond our creation is void or Nothing......our creation is Nothing. Reality lies beyond, safely outside of our dreams, plans, but not beyond our Choice. Choice is always ours.
