ONE
WE ARE ONE WITH THE ONE
This plane of being known as 'life' is an ephemeral product of the spiritual or energetic phases of being, and the physical or material phases of being.
Both phases of being are but evolving differential aspects of ever-increasing, inconceivably larger, universal phases of infinitely dynamic "being" known to mankind as God, Allah, Jehovah etc.
The differential interactions of these phases of being is continuously ongoing, although our conceptions apprehend them as constant and invariant. For similar reasons, we do not feel the earth's rotations nor its revolutions. Yet, that such occurs is the basis of all our calculations and conceptions of time and of space.
"The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, " in Matthew 26:41, neatly encapsulates differential interactions, whose resonance and friction, powers and empowers our inquiry and our motion toward greater inquiry and motion, ineluctably, inescapably.
Life's evolution 'began' on earth from cosmic interstellar dusts blown by solar gas/winds onto and into earth's rocky crevices; earth itself being a product of the same gases and dusts.
This process of accretion enabled microscopic and macroscopic life forms to emerge, to feed, to mate.
In process of time and space, these ancient 'life' fundamentals combined with matter and spirit; physics and chemistry; astronomy and biology; geometry and mathematics, some how mysteriously and geophysically, Life scaled up and scaled upon each life's predecessor in accordance with climate and environment to produce man, not linearly, but quadratically; dynamically and epistemologically.
Man came, in turn, to consider the why's, how's, what's, when's and wherefore's of his own being.
These considerations evolved from typology to symbology to mythology, leading to theories of mankind's own existence from the sacred mound of Ptah of ancient Kemet ("Memphite theology"); to Euclid's "Elements" and infallible proofs; to Plato's forms in his "Timaeus;" to the books of Genesis through Revelations of Christianity's authorized Bible; to Newton's Natural Mathematics and his "Scholia;" to Darwin's theory of natural evolution in his "Origin of the Species" and his later, "The Descent of Man," to Einstein's yet prevailing two theories of general and special relativity, which are founded upon all other scientific and mathematical precursors' works that were known to him, Riemann's geometry especially.
In truth, as windblown Saharan dusts yearly enrich depleted Amazonian soils with minerals and phosphorous, we are one with each other, enriching the other, whatever our phase or form on earth; thus one with the One of all.
