Chain Reaction: At
first this seemed like a strange spiritual orientated topic for me to write
about, what's chain reactions got to do with spiritual practices? In actuality it has everything to do with the
way we express ourselves as each expression causes some kind of reaction, as
soon as we express ourselves, we cause a reaction. This however doesn't mean
all our actions and reactions are going to cause a chain reaction, a
continuation of an initial action or reaction.
The universe itself was created from a chain reaction of
matter and anti-matter coming together, everything existing within this chain
reaction is influenced by some sort of chain reaction. The sun was created from
a chain reaction and like everything created from a chain reaction has an end
of cycle, a temporal existence, this however doesn't mean the consciousness
behind these chain reactions are temporal, in actuality this consciousness
infinite.
Take Jesus and Buddha for instance, they caused a chain
reaction and of course the initial source of this reaction always dies out, in
this case, this was Jesus and Buddha who physically died when their cycle
finished. The initial reaction within a chain reaction always has a start and
end of cycle as does the chain reaction itself, however, the consciousness that
created these chain reactions to begin with is infinite as consciousness itself
isn't governed by cycles until this consciousness is expressed. In other words
it's an expression of a consciousness that creates a chain reaction, I think this universe is a prime example of
this. Man himself creates through the same actions, materialism is a chain
reaction and so are wars and conflicts, the reaction between black and white
can create a chain reaction.
This is no different to how the universe was created,
everything that exists within a chain reaction automatically reacts in the same
way no matter how small or large the reaction is that is being created. What's
basically being said here is, you can't manifest for a change unless it's
through a chain reaction within a reality created from a chain reaction, this
means you can't just sit there and pray, chant or meditate for a change to
occur unless this consciousness is expressed, once this consciousness is
actually expressed, it naturally starts up a chain reaction.
Consciousness: Now
the thing to consider here is the initial consciousness behind each chain
reaction, at the moment, many people are talking about and expressing love on
the net but how genuine is this love because if it's not genuine, it won't
cause a significant chain reaction that will make a substantial long lasting
difference. I've been on the bitter end of this love, it's sad as it's not as
genuine as it seems at first, it's certainly not in the same league as Jesus or
Buddha for example. In this case, it's not going to make much of a difference
as these chain reactions only have a short cycle.
The hate in the world has created a huge long lasting chain
reaction that has lasted thousands of years, why has it lasted so long?
A consciousness that is genuine, will create a chain
reaction that will last and be predominantly influential over all other smaller
less genuine chain reactions, the hate in the world has always been genuine,
look at what we have done to each other in human history, this hate is genuine
and so should be our love if we want it to become predominantly influential
especially over hate.
One way to test if your love is genuine is put yourself into
a situation that would usually make you feel anything but love towards others.
If in this case you are unable to feel any sort of love towards these people,
your love is most likely not genuine. Ostracising people is another indication
of a non-genuine love, think on this, did Jesus or Buddha ostracise
anyone? I actually don't mind hanging
around the people I refer to as unbecoming, they certainly test how
genuine my love is, did Buddha detest
the egotistic self therefore ostracise and not face the egotistic self? He confronted it face on, this is why people
like this have caused a significant chain reaction, if we truly want to make a
significant difference, we must do the same.
There are realities that are not influenced by chain
reactions, yes, these realities are peacefully existing in utter bliss because
within a reality not created from chain
reactions there is very little motion. For example, within these
realities you don't have to express consciousness of love for love to exist,
it's already exists, however, we are not presently existing in such a reality,
our reality is purely based on chain reactions so for a significant change to
take affect, this change needs to be expressed. The more genuine we are within
our expressions, the more these changes will take affect.
Are there universes that weren't created through a chain
reaction?
I believe there is, a
universe doesn't have to be of a planetary nature or even existing as something
physical, a universe actually denotes a creation of a kind either it be planetary,
physical or non-physical or what ever. The universe we are presently experiencing
was created by a chain reaction, this means everything within this reality that
exists will require a chain reaction to exist within this kind of reality, this
isn't the same in realities not created by a chain reaction.
To me, these universes and realities are alive, they were
created by a consciousness for starters, this means each reality and universe
has it's own influential persona or character in a sense. Take atheists for
example, no form of God's consciousness exists for them, their reality is
governed by a certain facade or perspective that doesn't include any form of
God, this in turn creates quite a different reality compared to a devout
Christian for example.
Personas: Now it
might seem lame or ridiculous to say that realities and universes have personas
very simular to humans, where did our personas actually come from? Certainly not
out of thin air. I am aware that in other existences, not of this universe or
reality, conscious forms have a totally different personas than we do within
this reality/universe. Let's just look at our own solar system, no planet or orbiting
planetary form has the same exact characteristics as other planetary forms,
they all have their own personal characteristics which is influenced by the
universes creation itself.
I would also say that beings in other galaxies would have a
different character to ourselves, this is due to each galaxy and solar system being
also influenced by a certain kind of persona or character. This persona then becomes
a part of all living things being
created within such a reality.
To a lot of people who don't perceive that realities and
universes are a living conscious form, this is going to be hard to except that solar
systems, galaxies and universes, have a kind of persona or character that every
living conscious thing created under these influences also enact out, this is inevitable.
If it's not seen as being alive in some way, how can it have a persona or a
character of it's own!! However, once we perceive that everything is alive in
some way, as it's all created by a consciousness anyway, it's easy to see that
the universe has it's own persona and that each galaxy and solar system and
even planet has it's own derivative character.
When you take other universes into consideration here, it's
easy to see that each universe/reality has it's own persona or character and
that conscious forms created within these realities also take on a form of this
character in some way.
The reality we are presently experiencing has been brought about
by a chain reaction, this gives this reality/universe it's own persona/character
which then influences all conscious forms created within this particular persona/character.
Basically what I am saying is, our personas are derivatives of the universes/realities persona which then
creates our own unique realities and personas based on chain reactions.
