Seeking Out the Great and Eternal Cosmic Spirit
Science shows us that the apparently solid world we live on is actually made up of many small molecules, that like the planets in a galaxy are separated from each other by vast distances of empty space. These tiny molecules are further composed of still smaller atoms that are made of even smaller electrons and protons moving through expanses of space in charged energy fields All observable matter is no more than insubstantial fields of energy moving in a great void. The great 'shunya', great emptiness, that pervades and surrounds everything. All objects and all living things have no substance except as bundles of energy. All the great edifices of THE man, all our posses- sions and all obser- vable objects will decay and die. And all our hopes, fears, dreams, philoso- phies, arts, literature and historic achievements are nothing but transitory mists floating on the endless ocean of the cosmos. Who or what is the subject that directs these objects on their microscopic and macrocosmic cycles of movements and change? Who or what within all living things that directs their continuously changing process of birth, growth, decay and death? Is this a separate entity, or part of a great encompassing cosmic river, flowing, in eddies and swirls, towards an even greater cosmic ocean? All our transitory possessions, objects, passions, ideals and even our mortal bodies are destined to be deserted by this transitory spirit as it moves,undeclared towards an unimagined destination. In this spirit, and around it, may be another unchanging void The nameless, the formless, The great inert stillness where nothing changes. For every individual, our seemingly momentous passions, thoughts, traditions, pleasures and pain are mere expressions of a solitary transitory spirit on an often tiresome and sometimes joyous journey through an allotted span of life. A spirit that comes to the world alone and leaves it alone but I never alone as long as it regards itself as a part of some greater subject. The cosmic Creator, nameless and formless, may be a great stream of cosmic energy in which every living soul is but a tiny droplet. A stream which surges over, under and through us as it joins other streams to flow into a greater cosmic ocean from where, like water, droplets evaporate again to resume the endless cycle of creation. Increased awareness of our inner spirituality may mark a new consciousness because evolved spirits will find no purpose for the wood, brick or stone with which we make deities or places of worship. This Great Spirit was the inspiration of all sages, prophets and founders of religions and so is greater than any of them. We will then need no priests who claim they are the sole selling agents of brands of God having divine powers to insure the future. If people can learn how to find the glory of this spirit within themselves they will be freed from the bondage of sacrifices, penances and rituals. It will be the triumph of inner spirituality and the end of raucous religiosity.
