Posted by Introspective Another way of viewing and understanding the Universes expansion and outward acceleration is in perceiving the expansion as accelerated growth within an evolving Universe. When it comes to the infinite and the infinitesimal reality of the ultimate big picture we can recognize that the ultimate existence of all things is the sum total of unending possibilities. Our existence is also interconnected and an intricate part of the ultimate reality which is defined as eternal life. It is when we discover and recognizing our spiritual interconnectedness which is the sustaining essence of all things that we become a living, breathing, and ever so subtle revelation of the altruistic outreach of gods love.

The Spark of life.......
I enjoy reading how modern scientists are striving to come up with a unified field theory that can comprehensively explain all of reality and how we as human beings fit into the evolving big picture that is within us and around us. Most Scientists believe that Quantum Physics brings us closer to achieving that goal but there are still many unanswered questions. One major break through in Quantum Physics was the discovery that matter can be broken down to its sub-atomic elements and that the energy at that level cannot be created nor destroyed. Sub-atomic energy is found throughout the universe in living and nonliving matter and the discovery of this energy brought use closer in understanding that energy is eternal. Although, Quantum Physics is a remarkable tool in understanding the universes building blocks it does not bring us anymore closer to understanding the essence of life.
A recent scientific break through was the mapping of humanities genetic code. Scientists can create amino acids in a Petri dish which are the building blocks of DNA and we are also gaining a greater understanding of the various DNA structures which just so happens to be essential for life to exist on our planet. Our understanding of DNA and its various structures are growing in leaps and bounds with each passing year but once again this has not brought us anymore closer in comprehending the essence, the spirit, or what I call the spark of life. In other words the essence of all living things that continues to evolve to greater self consciousness cannot be fully comprehended on an intellectual level and yet it is something we experience as self conscious beings. Some scientist are beginning to intuit that just as energy cannot be created or destroyed so to is the essence of life eternal. It is not a matter of believing in life or placing our faith in life because we know life exists. Life is what we experience and are consciously aware of in ourselves and others.
As self conscious living beings we come to recognize existence in existence itself we can also intuitively recognize the essence of all things in everything that exists. It does not take new mathematical equations for self conscious living beings to recognize and to conclude that life and god are synonymous and that our existence and the existence of all things is god outreach of love. Our spiritual understanding of life itself is not a matter of religious faith it is merrily a matter of experiencing the spiritual core in ourselves and in the existence of others.
It does not take the intellect of a Quantum Physicist to intuitively realize that the spark of life is synonymous with the essence of god which is the living sustenance in all that exists. In order for science to unify humanities comprehension of the ultimate reality of things we must first unify our understanding of what makes us human.
The unified field theory is a way for scientists to unify our understanding of the sub-atomic world with the cosmos in general. Most scientist believe that the reason it can take Billions of light years for light to reach the earth from the farthest regions of our universe is because the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate.
There are scientists that also believe that in some far off and very distant future the accelerated expansion will slow down and the Universe will begin to collapse in on itself due to a strong gravitational pull. This will eventually lead to a big bang or rebirth of a new universe which of course is a scientific theory but it also makes sense.
The big bang theory is a reflection of death and rebirth on a cosmic level. We can intuit that our universe is just one of an infinite number of universes like a single cell among numerous cells that makes up a living body. This theory of multiple universes is not something we can prove scientifically but it is something we can come to understand intuitively.
I do not follow any particular religious path because I have a deep understanding that all life is spiritual by its very nature. We also have an implicit and intuitive awareness of that spirituality.
Throughout history people have taken long and treacherous Journeys throughout the world and beyond but the longest and most treacherous Journey that any person can undertake is the Journey inward.
The inward journey provides humanity with multiple paths to spiritual awareness because each individual must and at some point awaken to greater self awareness.
Keep in mind also that a key to spiritual growth is not in imposing ones will or beliefs upon others but rather in living our life as we would want others to live their lives in doing so others will emulate our way of life. True spirituality leads towards authenticity and that is why the truly spiritual do not seek conformity from others.
Spiritual awareness frees people from imposing their will or beliefs on others because they implicitly understand that the source of ones spirituality is at the very core of who we are as living beings. Life and god are synonymous we cannot separate god from the essence of life that sustains our very being.
The scientists who are racing to unify humanities understanding of the universes totality through a comprehensive unified field theory are in fact reflecting how science and spirituality are not just complimenting one another but merging towards a common objective. That common objective is to comprehend the essence within the totality of our Universe as a whole.
In order for us to gain that deeper understanding of the world around us we must first gain a deeper spiritual understanding of ourselves. In other words to achieve a more fully comprehensive understanding of the universe and our relationship to the universal order of things we must first gain a deeper understanding not only of our own evolving self consciousness but in the life around us and ultimately in the living universe in its totality. The more we come to understand ourselves the more we come to understand our interconnectedness and our interrelationship with all that exists.
The unified field theory is a race for both Science and spirituality to unite the infinite with the infinitesimal. The ultimate objective is to unravel and comprehend the mysteries of consciously evolving life. This is not a modern day objective because the wisest of the wise have sought to do this since the birth of humanity.
Life is an ongoing quest with greater self awareness as the means to greater spiritual growth within us and in all that we touch. This interrelationship will ultimately lead towards a greater comprehension of the Universe and humanities role as intricate living beings within an evolving and consciously growing universe.
