Your Flashlight to Pierce the Darkness
"Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful."
A CONCEPT OF THE UNIVERSE
A child and a bubble
Imagine yourself an observer. First, there is nothing. At least you think there is nothing. Then you realize that the nothingness is actually filled with something, but you can't see it or smell it or feel it. Like being in an ocean underneath the waves 100 feet and there is no sight of land beneath you and no sign of water above you. Just this clear substance that allows you to exist and float there.
As an observer, suddenly you notice a small dot about five feet in front of you. A white dot, about the size of a small pea. In this vast space of nothingness, how can this little dot appear? You wonder. Suddenly the dot is getting bigger. You get a little closer and see the dot is a little bubble. Inside is a piercing white light. Slowly, it expands and inside you see the light expanding as well. As the bubble grows you notice how the pressure of the nothingness (water) is around it and pushing it. Yet, that bubble keeps growing, with great determination it seems. As you observe even closer, you see that the light itself is igniting with a fantastic force. Strong enough to expand the bubble ten fold. Then with astonishing realization you see inside the bubble a billion stars and galaxies expanding away from its center. The bubble is about five feet radius now and starting to slow down it's expansion.
It seems that the pressure of the space around it is getting too strong the bubble is starting to contract. Slowly, the bubble is shrinking.
The concept of the universe and all it pertains is really dependent on your point of view. Anytime you come up with a concept, you are using your past and present knowledge to ascertain a picture of what you think the universe looks or feels like. There are so many different view points manifest in different ways, such as books, periodicals and internet websites. So I say to you what is your point of view?
To me, the concept of the Universe is as simple as a smile of a beautiful baby. The baby couldn't be more innocent, yet so full of potential and power. The baby is so pure that everything is possible in him. You look into his eyes and you can see infinity manifested. Then you get a flash of a smile and the whole world opens up with heavenly angels singing in perfect harmony. Truly, the baby is a manifestation of the essence of GOD. So to me the universe and the concept of it can best be exemplified in all the attributes of the baby.
It's interesting really, how nature is created seemingly from nothing into something. Like that bubble in the water example. Or like a baby in the womb, what's the difference?
There seems to be a common thread in creation and the concept of the universe. That thread is the process of birth. Think about it. How does creation work really. There seems to be a process. A beginning, a middle and an ending. The beginning seems to us to come from nothing, but in actuality is coming from somewhere. That "somewhere" could be an ending of a previous universe. Then when the actual conception is taking place, the child is growing in the womb which is the middle part. After some time the child is born and the end of that birth has occurred only to start a new cycle of life in a totally new environment. So too the concept of the universe and it's planets have to experience. The earth for example is going through a certain type of pregnancy. The conception has occurred some time ago, I think that it is nearing it's ending stage and almost ready to give birth. To what? I can not say, but it could be the very reason we are all here. To help in delivering the "baby" of salvation to the people of earth.
The recent painting that Maher, my brother,painted for example, accurately depicts mother earth getting ready to give birth. Maher feels it and expresses it in his paintings. I think we can all feel it through our own subconscious connection. It will be a great birth. A transformation of the earth and it's inhabitants. People will think it came suddenly, but it has been building it's force for a long time. It is also not just a birth, but a continuation of another cycle of GOD's manifestation of the Universe.
Think on it.
