"In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
It is the Merciful who has taught the Koran.
He created man and taught him articulate speech.
The sun and the moon pursue their ordered course.
The plants and the trees bow down in adoration.
He raised heaven on high and set the balance of all things,
that you might not transgress that balance…
He laid the earth for His creatures,
with all its fruits and blossom-bearing palm,
chaff-covered grain and scented herbs.
Which of your Lord’s blessings would you deny?
…The face of your Lord will abide forever,
in all its majesty and glory.” (1)
(from Surah 55: 1- 28)
_______________________________
Time is a construct.
Time was imposed
out of the need to differentiate,
to separate Itself.
Time does not exist
when you step away
from the physical world.
I do not mean the heavens.
I mean into the Charms existing
between Time and Matter.
To Create the physical (matter from energy)
required an order.
And Order would be had
by intensifying the affinities It had for Itself—
Dense congregates of Divine Energy,
which created Divine Mass.
Critical Mass caused a heretofore unknown event...
Big Bang?
Physical universe:
Order imposed through Natural Laws.
“Natural” to the type of order
distilled in this Creation Story.
Cause and Effect.
For every Action,
an equal and opposite Reaction.
Pendulum. Balance.
“Wind waves the flag, but
Flag also waves the wind.” (2)
So many doorways,
hidden in plain sight!
In "Forever",
Time is a construct,
required only to keep the Divine Order...
Life as we know it.
Yet, look beyond (above, below, through), and
Time exists only as a vessel to hold Matter in check.
Step gently through its thin walls.
Allow particles of yourself to flow into the stream of Divine Energy.
Move into the waves.
Let them work in you.
Become sensitive to the currents, eddies, flows.
Flow closer to the Divine—in Joy.
Embody:
Poetry Art Dance
Contemplation Mystical Writings
Nature Prayer Union with the Divine
Activate the portal
by looking the other way.
Transcend Time’s illusions.
Be Joy.
