A Matter of Time

There isn't any place I'd rather be than by an ocean. This is the Gulf of Mexico off Pensacola's main beach.

Perhaps what captivates me is its energy. Many people, maybe all human beings, are beguiled by large bodies of water. Must be some cellular recognition of our origin, when relatives unrecognizable to us today rocked in the womb of life.

That we are at all related to strange looking creatures darting about in the light-filled strata of the oceans is at best a remote feeling. Yet we learn that we are. In some long ago past our line came packaged in a silicon skeleton!

Scientific American recently published a special edition, A Matter of Time (see below for link). If I read these articles correctly, our perception of time moving forward is a physiological consequence of our neurology. In fact past, present and future may exist simultaneously in the universe.

So perhaps our old relatives exist in the fabric of space, which scientists describe as a grid-like arrangement of matter and energy in something called "spin networks". I think you will find the articles in this special edition of Scientific American very thought provoking.

The ancient knowledge on this planet-which Western societies have denied credibility-includes an understanding of this grid-like structure of the universe. Presumably there were once Earthlings who utilized the energy lines of the electromagnetic grid (where the Earth's crust releases energy from deep within). These old lines were locations of sacred structures, pathways of lost civilizations with sofisticated knowledge of the Earth and the Universe.

An Iroquois Teacher once told me she participates in balancing energy flow along these lines to help the Earth in times of great disruptions of natural energy flows (climate change?).

When I walk along the shore of the ocean, lulled by the ebb and flow of its salty waves, I feel the pull of a numinous presence, a deep call from my core. I know intuitively that call comes from something much greater than the concerns of my daily life, a Source of profound wisdom that suffuses the entire Earth and indeed, the Universe.

Perhaps this is why I am drawn to oceans....
