LIfe in a nutshell

Has any one ever wondered how much our thoughts effect our surroundings? Or how much our little self can effect the whole scheme of things? Whats MY part in this cosmic dance that we call life? Why are we here? How did we come to be? Why does life exist? What is god? What is good or bad? What is spirituality? We've all asked ourselves these questions, and then some. They are probably the reason why we choose the paths that we are on. Ive personally thought these questions for al far back as I can remember.
 
 
I believe it all starts with a basic understanding of how things work in life. There was the big bang. One of sciences biggest questions. Science knows what happened a millisecond after the bang, but still do not know what it was like before. It was so dence that a pin size amount would weigh as much as our planet. It expanded, and reacted with each other to create more elements. Eventually stars, and planets were formed. IT is known that every planet in the solar system has been barraged with meteors throughout their lives. These meteors and comets contain the basic elements for ammino acids to form. Some came from other planets in the solar system, some came from unknown depths of space. The planet cooled, water formed. And somewhere, the amino acids evolved into a single celled organism, all the way to algae, and to crustacean like creatures. Then there were fish. Then amphibians. Then reptile-like amphibians. Reptiles, to mammal-like reptiles, to dinosaurs and mammals. All mammals today evolved from small mice like creatures, to every mammal known. The plants on land evolved from algae spores from the sea. Plants were the first real living thing on land. They created oxygen.
 
 
IT took what is thought to be a meteor event, and mass volcanic activity to kill off the dinosaurs, and most of life on the planet. Mammals were Small enough to survive, as well as patches of forest across the world (Canada, Mexico, daintree in Australia, India, indo china Europe). Some where in Africa, ape decided to stand on 2 feet, and use tools. These apes traveled to Europe, china, Africa, and evolved separately. After massive evolutionary wars, there were basically Neanderthal, and a species of the genus “homo”. They cross bread into what is known as homo sapien. We do what we will with land. And to life and this planet. But here we are.
 
 
THE UNIVERSE
 
 
There is something that some people don’t know about the universe. Humans, are stardust. Stars, are old planets. Planets are born from live in the universe. The universe is a giant recycling center. Energy cannot be created, or destroyed. So it is reused again, and again. IT is known now that at the basis of eat atom is a small wave of energy. Every thing in the entire universe has this inside of it. Every form of matter, or anti matter. energy is the binding between us all. Its what created us and everything that is and was.
 
The universe, is an organism. IT grows, reacts to itself, I bet its even conscious of itself, other wise we wouldn't have consciousness. Life is the universe (god or what-have you), consciously expressing itself. Just like our world, is us consciously expressing ourselves. The planet is in essence, an atom, in the galactic cell of the universe. Our bodies and the universe function is eerily similar ways. So you see the connection?
 
CHAOS THEORY
 
 
Chaos theory is a beautiful thing. IT was created to predict the whether ( and ironically computers were created to handle the massive amounts of number crunching involved.). IT basically deals with non linear equations. Seeming physics doesn’t handle well. IT deals with things with a high mount of variability. Like water going over a water fall, or time travel, or the stock market. IT basically states that every single act, or thought, or anything you ever do, no matter how small or significant it is, will echo through out the universe, and create something. Think of the butterfly effect. A butter fly flaps its wings in Maine, and theres a typhoon in India a month later.
 
 
 
A THOUGHT ON THOUGHTS
 
Our thoughts are energy waves, being processed and Understood by the brain. If everything is energy, and our thoughts are literally manipulating energy, then why cant we manipulate other things energy? This explains ESP, to ghosts to anything. And it also fills a lot of holes, in many religions. Our feelings are also the same thing. Our bodies reacting to yourself subconsciously, and also reacting to the energy of everything else around you. This is why it is said “be careful what you wish for”. If you really wish for something bad enough, and it is physically possible, it will happen. it’s the power of belief. Basically an entire city prayed for their crime rate to go down, and within a week, it dropped by 25%, and stayed that low.
 
WICCA AND GOOD AND BAD
This is why you should be careful not to have what are considered negative, or harmful thoughts . “Do what you wish, but harm none”, is the only real rule in wiccan belief. Wicca, and many many other religions, and beliefs state that you MUST give something, besides believing it will happen. You must give energies, or thoughts, and feelings into what you want..
 
But what really is good and bad. Does it really exist? Of course it does. But do you think it would if it want thought up in the first place? Maybe good, and bad are humans invention? I think it can be based on 2 things:
 
Things that make us feel really good inside. Joy, glee, happiness, belonging, love and everything associated with that. Things what we strive for. Things we want. Feelings, thoughts and doing things we all love, and are a product of us expressing ourselves, and our freedom.
 
Things that make us feel bad. Guilt, jealousy, greed, hate, fear, harm. Things we push against usually. Things we say NO to. The suppression of anything. Putting life at risk.
 
These 2 examples are a pretty fair way to split things id say. I am not saying not to feel hate, or anger, or what not, they are part of the human experience. The hard part is to master your emotions, and not let then control your reaction to things. No thought, is negative or wrong or right. And technically no act is wrong or right either. Its what we personally interpret as right and wrong, based on our interpretation of our experiences, emotionally, and physically. Each person is different. Each thought is different. No 2 people are exactly alike in every way. So how can we really judge what is right or wrong? Who really has the right, to justify their own opinions and thoughts as truth or lie? Right or wrong?
 
 
I think its about open mindedness. A lot of people say flat out, “ that is wrong, that cant happen, or impossible”. People really don’t realize that you saying don’t, or cant, really gives that intention the power to manifest itself into what you say. IT wont happen because you say it wont. Its good because you say its good, and its bad because you say its bad. No one is right or wrong. I think the really question is how to we get around this? How do we get out of a loop like this?
 
 
LIFE
Why are we here? Why were we created? Well I believe that we may not have been intentionally created. BUT, I believe we were nevertheless created, but, the universe. it’s the one thing that really connects ALL religions. The point is, we were created. So why are we here? To choose how to create you own reality, and experience life how you intend to. Life is literally what you make it. So does thus mean that you can fly? No, but life might give the push you need to become a pilot. This is why creating a law against something, inherently creates more of that problem. OR an “anti-XXXXX” movement creates more hate towards that cause. This is why most religions say to love and respect one another. Not kill, and be jealous. But to prosper, and do what you love. Its another truth that binds most religions. mabe we just need to focus on the similarities instead of the differences? Maybe instead of fighting injustice, why not promote peace in a region, and fair trade, not bomb their entire infrastructure. In other words, were here, and create our own reality through intent and thoughts. WE literally make our own meaning for life, its up to us whether we want to follow it or not.
 
RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY
 
The big truth behind religion is that it is that ALL modern religion is a rehash of ALL previous belief systems, merged. Its now just as mixed as our races. Most people know this. But do they really understand the repercussions?
The story of Jesus was used at least 25 times in history before him. Horus, Hermes, Mercury, some in east Indian beliefs, and even in meso American beliefs. And there is in fact no real evidence of a man named Jesus, or his real name, in history. Sso what does this mean?

IT means the same thing as the previous fact. If they all say similar things, and all share a common story, does this really make then a lie? Even if they didn’t actually physically exist, the fact that we still believe in religion, actually gives then truth. Everything from satanism, to the strictest catholic, or Mormon are right in their own ways. And are technically right, because people believe in them.

So what is spirituality? It is literally what ever you say it is. I believe it is that simple. And I belove that the answers to a lot of these questions we ask, is just as simple. IT is what ever you say or believe it is. Does it make it right or wrong? No one knows, because right and wrong are based on the same fact. Right and wrong , and life, is just what you say it is.
 
REALITY
That doesn’t mean, that every belief is actually technically truth. History happened. No doubt about it. We cant change it, ever, no matter how hard we try. Life was created a certain way. So was the planet. And that are definite truths. There are things that are, and just aren't physically possible… right now And this one of the reasons the world is in the state that it is. it’s the wait to see what exactly ARE the definite truths. Proving what happened. No one can really seem to agree. There are groups that pick sides, or a few sides. But very few people actually sit back, and tries to see the similarities in everyones beliefs. Just because me or you aren't Jesus, or Buddha doesn’t mean that we cant have a religious insight into the truth. And that doesn’t mean that a scientist or pharmacist will cure cancer. We all have the power to do what ever is possible. We can do what we believe in. We just need to be positive in what we do, and make sure that were happy, and healthy.
 
 
MOTHER EARTH
So what is our connection to earth? It is very simple. The earth has a vibration. Life has a vibration. Everything has a vibration, because it is made of energy. Humans, are made up of the planet, which was made up of debris from tar explosions, and remnants of cosmic debris. Our connection to the earth is simple. We were made from it. And it was made from the universe. Plants are just as alive as we are., and the planet is alive, in its own way. So why burn the forests?, and make the land unlivable?? Our connection to plants is more in depth then we think. You can literally kill a plant by thoughts. If you treat it like ****, it dies eventually. So how can you say that it isn't alive if it reacts to its environment like that? Everything was born, and everything “dies” physically, so how can you say that something isn't alive?
 
 
OUR CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSE
Basically, the movement of the universe effects the planet, and that efforts us. Our thoughts effect each other, and the planet, and in turn the universe. Karma is a truth that is brought up again and again in beliefs, in many different forms. Our intentions create karma.

Many civilizations believed that galactic cycles are in direct correlation, to our bodies natural cycles. it’s the basis behind the while 2012 thing. IT also makes a lot of sence. Something as big as all of the planets aligning ( not in 2012, but it has happened) must have some repercussion cosmically. Just like the earths orbits wobble shift ( which is actually the “shift into Aquarius”), and the alignment with the center of the galaxy.
 
THE UNIVERSE AND EVOLUTION
Ive always thought that cosmic energy, or cosmic rays, or different radiations from space had some place in evolution. There are gaps in everythings evolution, that literally saw 2 million years worth of evolution in less then 500 000 or even as fast as 100 000 years, Of course an obvious answer is a situation where everything has to adapt ery quickly ( quick ice age, meteor strike, climate shift, major disaster). So what if galactic alignments, and natural cycles that the earth and the universe goes through promotes, glaciation, or even polar shifts? Who's to say that some galactic energy, een some solar anomaly had to do with a speeding up of evolution.?
 
 
EXTINCTION AND RECREATION
99% of all species that were created, are extinct. Extinction is life cleaning itself. IT can be metaphorically thought of as your body shedding skin, or spring cleaning. Life has one constant on earth. Physical death, for all species, so life can continued. Since every second of experience id different from the last, life is in a constant flux of change, every second learning, and trying to improve upon itself. Quite like how we constantly try to perfect among nature.

The world has gone though at least 6 major extinctions though life. From a giant ice ball, or meteor strikes, or a massive flood, to global warming, to a massive super predator (human). We are in the midst of a mass extinction event, cause partially by mans inability to work WITH nature, instead of USING it and WORKING WITH IT. And partially caused by a natural phenomena called climate change.

The earth has gone through MASSIVE amounts of climate change. From a dozen ice ages, to tropical paredise. The earth at the time of the dinosaurs was on average 20- 10 degrees warmer at the poles ( depending on what era), then now. And also, in roman times, Europe was actually 3 degrees on average cooler then today.

Extinction, is the process of the universe reusing itself. The earth reuses all of the energy if everything over again, just like the universe. And when the planet blows up, or is cooked by an exploding sun, all of the energy ( us, rocks etc), will become planets, and stars, and the like. Only to be exploded and reused to make planets, and life again. Death is truly the beginning.
 
 
MASS CONSCIOUSNESS=HEAVEN
Life's ability to evolve, is evidence of the fact that ALL life, shares a mental bond, or consciousness. IT explains many things beyond evolution as well. I believe that when we die, we go into what we consider another plane of existence, or reality. We join where this mass consciousness is congregated, to be reused. IT is truly where all that was and is and will be is. it’s the source of all knowledge, and life. It is earth, and it is god, and heaven, and hell, and all existence. I believe I is what is considered quantum psychics, string theory, and also chaos theory. I believe this theory fills in even more holes in science and religion, and the like.
 
 
A METAPHOR AND LAST THOUGHTS
The novel by JRR Tolkien, “The Silmarillion”, explains the creation of middle earth ( which in intended to be earth history actually), and is a great metaphor for our life:

The Maiar, and Valar, were the “gods” in the myth. And they all sung a song, each god sung in their own tune, and added their own to the song, while also influencing the others around then. Some were good, and some were bad. There were 3 main courses of songs, each ending more loudly, and violently then the last, because of the discord the “negative” had. On the end of the third time, the song was so loud and so violent, that it was a massive blast. And with that, the “one”, said… let it be so…. And the world was created.

When they came down, each god became the master of wind, earth, basically all the elements. Even darkness. They created the fates of the world, but they still did not know how it would play out, or know the whole story. But they could still influence how the final “chorus” would happen. They had power over the events that happened, just not the grand scheme of things, where everything is destroyed.
 
This is a great metaphor for life. We all go day to day, adding our own tune to the musical of life, shaping its sounds and sights, and influencing thoughts around us. We may only get a short time physically on this planet at a time, so why waste it on being negative? Why waste it sitting inside on a sunny day? Why waste what the earth gives us? Why worry about anything? The planet has enough for us, we just need to get used to the fact it needs us, just as must as we need it. And more simply. That we are all right in our own ways. So why focus on who is actually right or wrong, and open up, and accept each others opinions, and learn from each other. Also, to get out, plant a garden, help people in need, recycle, love they neighbor, and live life
