On having An Intelligible Universe

As I often include a deity in my "One straight shot" explanations or elucidations upon our lives and our world, I feel it must fall upon me to make clear What it is I'm including.

And why I think that inclusion is essential.

As my title indicates we live in a "Knowable" world.Lets not pass over this lightly.

Think on how remarkable that is! It's knowable because it is ordered.

OK Let's take the deep plunge!
Each living thing, no matter how small or unnoticed by this world
is apart of that order.

Everything follows the same rules of life. None violate those rules, except that they parish.
and so must be considered here as being without consequence.

But those hidden secretive tiny creatures Living completely alone and unknown...Who makes sure they are following the rules?!!

Now this gets fun!

No one because supervision would be absurd. ALL the laws of Life without exception are expressed from within every creature. The laws of Life are the laws of your life.
The laws of your dear cats life.

The rules we must follow if we hope to continue living.

Now consider that microscopic dot so condensed and under such unbelievable pressure
That it explodes into the creation of time and space
the vase expanse 13 1/2 Billion years still spreading outward and creating unbelievable space from a dot. Space to benefit all beings.

Inside that dot nothing could take form, nothing expressed. In fact had it not exploded I wouldn't have room to think.LOL

But what is an explosion? It is Chaos. But this chaos already had the rules of order implicit within itself. How may we know this?

Back to the tiny Hermits of the world. They are 13 1/2 billion years away from the big bang.
Yet governed by the same laws that govern the moon and the furthest furthest star.. If a thing is, it must be in accordance with the laws that were generated with the Universe.

"The energy carries the law.
The law regulates the Energy."

Simply put, Yin and Yang. If we can see that there are in fact LAWS that are not visible to our eyes, That have no Physical presence yet are EXPRESSED by every physical thing and the space that allows things to be,,

but when something happens or fails to happen as we thought..We start looking at our understanding of those laws.

Mankind believes in invisible laws. We seek out proof that we believe rightly. We test nature to make sure no one's cheating. If we find some one or some thing cheating and getting away with it, rather than meeting some terrible fate...We reexamine our Invisible laws and modify our understanding to fit that particular expression of the law.

A point I'd like to make clear Is that not one of these laws is a thing of light or of matter.
They can neither be measured nor weighed, but are rather that by which everything is measured and weighted.

And yet we can neither touch nor see them apart from the work they do. The work of the Universe.

I have tried to show that all LAW is a spiritual thing. It took, in the beginning great leaps of faith
by courageous and brilliant minds to discover them, bit by bit.

We are still studying at the feet of the law. Which is in fact a spiritual journey, for we study the intangible yet utterly knowable because for all this universe there is but one "LAW"

We don't understand every thing we see in our skies. But what we do understand is this everyone is playing "make the planet" by the same rules.The same invisible rules that tell the our tiny friend to stay hidden, puts spark to star and send it's light for our per-prepared eyes to see., because we all share one LAW" We harmonize.

Never mind who made the world, I want to know who imposed the same order across an entire universe? Who brought all that exploding matter to Heal?

The energy carries the law
The law regulates the Energy

So Spirit (LAW and the ability to perceive law) and matter arise together...Yin and Yang.

Science is a spiritual undertaking. Science makes leaps of faith all the time.
They don't do so blindly. Their faith is in the Law. They take what they know of the law, make an educated guess and sometimes spend years only to find out their guess was wrong.

Here's where it gets really spiritual!
When they are wrong they blame their own lack of understanding not the LAW.

Just as the invisible LAW had to be taken on faith, that's is we had to believe there was a dependable underlining order as LAW to go looking for specifics about that which was being expressed to us in our physical world. We began to measure and take note of the seasons that cycle though the year.

Region and spirituality are not at all the same creature. Religion seeks to settle matters. ID God and Tell everyone what he said to you, ...About how OTHERS should live.
I'll not comment on how right or wrong I may think they got it.

Spirituality is a journey into the "cloud of unknowing."
The spiritual person sets aside the LAW by fulfilling it. By bringing one self into harmony with the "Moral Universe"

"The truth is written upon your hearts"

Once one has rid themselves of those things in their life that "Are bound to fail"
as they do not conform with the established order of our universe,

Murder Rape theft lying one can see they are bound to fail at any good end.

Then one may safely put aside the law as it never occurs to one to break it.

Why would one ever wish to put aside the Law?
The Law is the known, the well established!

Here's where science wants to throw up in the back of it's mouth when I speak! LOL

One puts aside the law to get a better look at the Law Maker.

One puts aside the known and journeys toward the unknowable.
Why go if it can't be known?

I love this part...
Because one hears a calling and must answer it to remain true to "What is written upon your heart."

This world of men does not support the spiritual undertaking. Does not recognize the journey.
Religion clings to dogma of the past and science clings to the material world of effects.

Make no mistake I see the need for both! They just don't see me at all. ":O}

The term "The cloud of unknowing" is from a very small bit of writing by a Monk in the middle ages.

It was his meditative practice. To put aside this world of men with it's tumult and confusion.
The constant conflict and disfigurements and enter into a neutral space.

We enter the Cloud of unknowing to leave our conceptions behind, to leave thinking behind.

To truly enter the now we must pass though this cloud.

Once the cloud has been entered and we have latched onto the "now" however weak our grip, however many times we slip we have begun our journey.

Now we wait. We wait for what we do not know will come. Once we realize this, that he may never come. We begin to understand what it is to wait.

"Waiting means putting the breaks on strength."
If we had no strength it would be oppression, exhaustion But we do have strength, we could try to storm the gates of heaven with 50,00 repetitions of a prayer some one ONCE said sincerely.

It s vain to think that if you badger God you get what you want.

Waiting is. If you have a purpose, your planing not waiting.

Paradox time! LOL

The first step of the journey is to wait.
The last step of the journey is to wait.

In the end...it was always going to be about who your waiting with.":O}

"Say Good night Gracy"
"Good night."

(George Burns and Gracy Allan.)

Yet once in a million times (number is pure guess work!)
One of our fellow life holders will hit the jack pot and not only exhibits a new expression of the law
That finds a way past a limitation we all would have thought permeate. That which set it apart is bestowed as gift to all it's dependents until there are few if any that have not received the benefit.

The law allows for and in fact demands continuity in change. When change lacks continuity it is a disaster like a fifth leg on a lamb. Where continuity is maintained over time a good result can be found in an ordered departure from current expression of the law.

The "Living" world does not change haphazardly
Every change is tested by the Gen pop. What works better is advanced by evolution, what does not is more than likely to get the innovator killed long before they can bread..

The Law and it maintenance always arises from within. The law brings all things into their fullest expression Because "The Law" is the very law of each and every individual being.

The law keeps our hearts pumping and sends a thrill though our hearts when we connect with
With that which is akin to our own beings.

But where did these laws originate and how were they pulled from chaos?

What exquisitely tiny fingers inserted law into the most minute creatures and across the vast and endless beyond waiting to be born?
What will the universe be cradle to in the eons to come?

It seem to me we all are presented a choice. When we look at our sun.
We can see all we have come to know about our sun. Or we can look upon it another way
and see what we had not seen before. We can look upwards in WONDER!

We do not lose what is known. We simply choose to look away from what is known and let Wonder
fill us with a longing to know directly, intimately, personally what cannot be grasped by our intellects.

Wonder is a thing of the heart. For wonder to reach us it must make a journey of love.
Without wonder everything becomes yesterday and the same.

Loving the Sun can warm our bones, but feeling the Sun's love for us brings Wonder.
