A Cosmology

[poliphilo]

The Universe is One Big Thing.

It breaks itself into lots and lots and lots of little things.

The little things interact with one another. They learn all sorts of interesting stuff.

The Unity persists in spite of the break-up. The little things remain dimly aware of it even as they prey on one another and squabble and fight.

Another word for the Unity is Love.

The little things are of temporary duration. They die and return to the Unity, taking their knowledge with them.

This is how the Universe learns about itself.

I dislike the word Unity. I think it's because I believe in an underlying fabric of Love, rather than disparate things being joined. That is, I'm not sure that things being separated matters.

But except for the minor quibble, I REALLY REALLY REALLY like this post A LOT. Thank you.

Thanks.

The word "unity" is, of course a stab in the dark.

And like you I agree that separation is a good thing. Unity is sublime, but not very interesting- which could be why the separation happened in the first place.

Yeah..... I'm trying to figure out how I can believe in an underlying fabric that connects disjoint things.

Maybe it's a neural net!:)
