TO A POET I KNOW

When we talk shop and

turn ourselves inside out,

something with no name

happens that is not macro,

not quantum. It is a thing

that knows there is more

than matter in the universe,

a conscious everything whose

strings hold it all together.

Maybe there is more to this

“love” thing than we know,

more than we can define.

The quantum people say

the universe just might be

conscious, and that would

mean God, and the unified

theory of everything…

“God is love, and whoever

abides in love abides in God,

and God abides in them.”

We are entangled, and just

now figuring it out.

I question our very existence on a day basis. When asked if l believe in 👽 aliens, my pat answer is "If we can be here they can be there" which only stands to reason. A line (not verbatim) from the movie, Contact; If we are the only ones in this vast universe what a waste of space.
Now if we believe we were created from dust caused by the big bang who's to say that a God/Creator wasn't also created from some special dust that evolved eons faster than us, or had a master plan for Earth. At the same time hundreds, even thousands of other God's were created to oversee the billions of other planets in other solar systems, that can sustain life.
Mankind only came into the "modern era" 100/200 years ago. And even still, other tribes were still living in mud houses while a majority had become enlightened. What if other planets or solar systems had a 1000year headstart on us.
Yet here we are, stuck to the side of a giant rotating ball of dirt writing poetry.
I liked your alot.

Trace,
Or maybe a million years, or a billion, or ten billion. But that only works if time is linear, and there is mounting evidence that everything everywhere, including time exists all at once. I was born right now, I am dead right now, I am eating breakfast on June the nineth, 1967 right now... all of which would make Existentialism a futile exercise, and save us from all those crises...
In our current advanced state of science and technology, there are still folks who believe in ghosts, space aliens, astrology, Tarot, and on and on because they are the means to a satisfactory explanation for things they don't understand. Volcanoes. Droughts. Lightening. In primitive times when there was no explanation for extraordinary events, the human brain required answers, and making them up was the only means they had. On the other hand, just because today's advanced knowledge contains no firm answers concerning anything spiritual, does not mean there is no such thing as "spirit." Quantum Physics is coming to the conclusion that the Universe is Conscious, which would be the definition of God as-- omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The perfect balance of all existence at every level from macro to nano, and the complete absence of total chaos is evidence enough.
I understand that the Western version of YHWH as defined in churches is absurd all the way through to its core, and anyone who believes in a God sitting on a throne taking gotcha notes is an idiot, and if that is the god an atheist disbelieves, then that person is equally shallow in their thinking. Religion and God are about as unrelated as fire and water. Finally, If the existence of God requires “Faith,” because there is no scientific proof, then it would follow that since there is no scientific proof God does not exist, to be an atheist requires the exact same level of the same belief.

@Trace - "If we can be here they can be there" I LOVE THAT! ...BUT GOD wasn't CREATED. GOD IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN.

[INIQUITY]

@Vol - "Quantum Physics is so far behind! God is YS! Like you said! Omnipotent! Omniscient! Omnipresent! He is everywhere at all times and has always been and always will be! All our "wisdom" is nothing. We are forever coming to knowledge but never knowing the TRUTH. YOU ARE AMAZING, VOL!

[Vol]

Aw, thank you for saying, but I'm just a throwback to when it was cool to think, and intellectuals were admired. Your Smile, though, is sunshne!

[INIQUITY]

[ETERNITY]

Vol, I do know Cam is VERY impressed by YOU. She talks about you CONSTANTLY.

[Vol]

Rreally? dang... I've no idea what to say, but I love to chat with friends... Today and the next two or three, I've got Dr. Appointments, but should be available in the evening. It is a long story, but I live in a Texas ghost town thirty five miles from the closest place to spend money, so I miss conversation, something the cowboys around here have only heard of... You can tell her I haven't bit a fellow poet for years...
