The Questionable Ubiquity of Reality

Universal Reality doesn’t seem to me to be as simple as we usually imagine it.

We are not just puppets of flesh and bone and fluid; occasionally moving, otherwise stagnant characters on a materialistic stage; unchanging creatures in a giant steel and plastic terrarium known as 'the physical world' – hell, even steel and plastic are comprised of microcosms of ever-moving atomic dancing.

While there may be some common-ground Reality that is ubiquitous to the experiences and events of all human life…

I reckon there have to be at least as many corelating universes as there are hearts and brains in this human experience of ours. To each observer, an interpretational symphony of synapses as unique as a fingerprints.

Universes, by the way, are not static artifacts either or even mundane 'lifeless' machines, but rather they are processes happening in the eternity of ‘now’.

In the ancient Anasazi tribal philosophy, it was believed that ‘Life is a Walking’ … not a 'path' or a 'journey' or even a ‘walk’, but rather a ‘walking’… a present participle verb… a process of ‘doing’ that is happening in the now, always.

As I understand it, the Chinese language doesn’t differentiate the same way as we do between nouns and verbs… such that our bodies and the natural world (and every 'thing' in it) are not lifeless solid artifacts but rather a process happening within The Great Process… Even in the slow growth and decay of a tree, we don’t see a truly motionless ‘object’, but rather a process unfolding… If it is made into firewood and burned… it is simply a different process.

If the atomic realm is always in motion, then we are never fully at rest… a wise man once put it that “All Matter is merely Energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There’s no such thing as Death. Life is only a dream; and we are the imagination of ourselves.” (*)

So, it also could be good to remember that it was once said or written something to the extent of: "A man never walks in the same river twice. It is not the same river and he is not the same man." This is true down to the very atomic particles that comprise the matter of our bodies, let alone all other physical, metaphysical, or philosophical sense of the wording.

I pray that these ideas are helpful in finding peace within the infinite and a harmony between you and your reality.

To be perfectly honest with everyone, what follows is designed to still be helpful only in a supplimentary way and is as much as anything simply designed to be the periphery to the above written piece which was not approved for publication due to being less than 600 words. Some written pieces just seem to be most appropriately kept short, simple, and sweet. So, while this last paragraph may somehow be a good compliment to the main entree above, it is my belief that the no sauces, seasonings, or salts are needed and that the main course could have stood alone as the entire meal, but hey - if there's an appetite for more words and one has the time, then by golly let's have some more words...

That is all. Thank You Very Much.
