WE ARE PARTICLES

26th June 2011.

Don't laugh. But I believe I'm on the path to enlightenment. While, if you think like me do- enlightenment is inevitable. Just like water flowing down a slope.All through our individual lives, we are busy knowing - one way or another through mistakes or safety. Why, I can bring myself to say that I am on the path to enlightenment is because each day something marvellouw reveals itself to me, and it only feels like meeting an old friend.
WE ARE PARTICLES
We are as free as an atom is, as an electron is. The other day when I said this to a friend, he said even electrons have personalities - it is in their unique number of spins.
WE ARE PARTICLES growing aware of other particles - wondering what they do and how they behave.The Earth's unique rotation governs our time. Perhaps the earth is just another electron. It is where the minute meets the gigantic perhaps where the trivial becomes the fundamental. The electron and the earth. And I thought, this thought made our social life sort of purposeless, meaningless. A huge waste of time. But perhaps, just as an electron must live a lifetime in a hundredth of a milisecond of a reaction, just as the house fly does in a day, we live our lives in what we can perceive. ( this we have begun to call time?)
WE ARE PARTICLES in an event called life.
Perhaps our social life then, is our means of understanding the chemistry, the nature of the particles we are. When we speak of a mysterious energy of a space, energy/ aura of a person - then we are talking of nothing mystical but simple properties of the particles we are and the kind of transformation we are capable of. Mysterious events are those we cannot perceive- because they are so stretched in time or so quick- like our bodily processes.
Everything is an event. Even a rock is transforming, even plastic, the earth, the universe.

Makes me think it does make sense to pray to plants, to the rocks, to plants, to planets, to rain because they are particles as we are particles and we can move each other through our intent. Just as performers can. The earth can respond and so can the universe. A life lived in fear, moves all the particles in our surroundings into the cause of our fear and aids in creating it.
