Ute's Poetry and Musings

     The human organism is the physical manifestation of different kinds of consciousness, all of them combining to make a significant personal statement in a time and space chosen for this statement to be most effective. The trick here is to remember that that same unique consciousness exists in an infinite number of historic and probable physical and non-physical realities or realms at the same time if we realize that electrons, neutrons and protons spin relentlessly and in different juxtapositions to one another within one atom and that that one atom is surrounded by an infinite number of other atoms while this whole invisible wonderworks appears to us as one solid object.

     We may be able to begin to understand how our conception of this, our entire physical universe, has been limited in scope exactly in accordance with our respective perceptional mechanism in the infinitely various probable realities. We must keep in mind that behind every physical phenomenon there is the original concept, or idea, which spawned it. And if limitations exist, they were created by us in the first place. There are no limits to the soul other than those the soul sets for itself. Imagine, then, a droplet of water which built an imaginary globe around itself, so that, no matter where the waves flung it, it would never be aware of its connection with the vast expanse of the ocean, or of the seashore, when it would be washed ashore, or of the clouds above the ocean when it would rise into the air, part of a storm cloud. The imaginary globe would still visibly, though in reality invisibly, surround it. It would be a barrier to the rest of creation. The drop would be oblivious to everything but itself. It would finally become self-conscious and would now be able to concentrate on its own immense properties and would be amazed at what it would find. With its new insights the droplet would now be able to immensely enrich the consciousness of the whole body of the ocean itself were it then able to dispense with the self-imposed barrier which has by now become part and parcel of the drop’s life force. The imaginary creation has become a physical reality, its origin forgotten. The imaginary globe around the droplet cannot be penetrated unless it is seen as imaginary. Then it will of itself disappear. First the desire for that to happen must occur.

     The consciousness of humanity identified with its body to such an extent that it is hard for it to realize that it is part of nature, of all of creation, that it is part of All That Is. The origin of any species lies in an original idea or concept of what that species should be like. Its beginning is ever new; for our thoughts keep it going. The thought manifestation in matter becomes its appropriate physical phenomenon. With our thoughts we think things into existence. As we change our idea or concept and choose one reality among many, so do those we have not chosen and those we have changed, appear in ever different physical probable realities, each of them convinced that theirs is the only “real” one. And they are right, of course. For to us theirs becomes the probable one. If, as a species, we like much in our world, we can congratulate ourselves. We accomplished a lot. We did not blow ourselves up. We did not pollute our environment to the point of no return. We are aware of those things.  Every day that we strive individually and collectively for a still better world, a more aware world, we come ever closer to the realization that there are literally no boundaries as to what we can accomplish.
