I used to be an extreme black & white thinker. All or nothing. Life, then death. Nothing.
At the time it seemed to be an easy way of living life. Everything was random. Nothing happened for a reason. I could not be blamed for anything that I experienced.
Humans were born evil, and some turned into loving human beings. Naïve creatures.
But deep inside there was a whisper. I did not listen to it. Why should I? I was a big sophisticated chemical factory and all my behavior was the result of reactions between molecules. That whisper was probably a side effect. Nothing to worry about.
In the following years the whisper grew louder and I got curious. Listening to the whispers made me realize the world is not black & white. And it is not even grey. It is what you make of it. What you choose it to be.
I am still in this process and loving every step I take. I don’t have a goal, I am too busy enjoying the journey. I am an every expanding infinite being who is focused in this space and time. I feel more one with all and more unique than ever before.
And then it hit me. That whisper is showing me a picture all my life which I can see clearly now:
The Universe is as much part of you, as you are part of the Universe.
The way I was visualizing it inside-out was by imagining our solar system as a molecule. The sun was the nucleus, representing neutrons and protons, and the planets the electrons. I am part of the Universe. Outside-in I was build up out of countless solar systems, molecules. The Universe is part of me.
I will continue my journey. It will never end.
