Heart of Matter: We Are Here

Tuesday, March 7

“The question of evolution is not simply one of existence, of why are we here; rather, it is the startling fact that, after 13.8 billion years, we are here—and we know we are here!”

Ilia Delio, Making All Things New

“La cuestión de la evolución no atañe solo a nuestra existencia, a por qué estamos aquí; sino, más bien, al hecho sorprendente de que, después de 13.800 millones de años, estemos aquí, ¡y seamos conscientes de que estamos aquí!”

    All created things are an ongoing living expression of the eternal in the field of time, transparencies of the transcendent. That is, their 4th dimensional nexus is timeless, irrespective of their age in three dimensional space and time. Spiritually awakened humans are privileged to be conscious of the above facts, like no other created terrestrial can, because spirit never ages or dies, it’s timeless. That is, their breakthrough rebirth into the 4-D realm makes them conscious that such is their deeper identity, their timeless “original face,” as opposed to the humanhood identity based on genetic lineage, travails, infirmities, and personal experiences as mortal creatures, etc. Such enlightened beings simultaneously co-exist in 3-D space and time, conscious of having a foot (and identity) in both worlds, called upon to reconcile them both, this side of the grave.

    As a person of faith, I infer that I am a member of the family of all creatures. To the extent that I share responsibility for the welfare of my kin, I will follow the model of the One who called himself “the way.” As one holon among the universe of holons, I work as a team member to fulfill God’s dream for all creatures.

    When I look at the latest images from the Webb Infrared Telescope and see the light from Super Galaxies 13 billion light years away, I get a deep sense of knowing we are here among approximately 2 trillion galaxies and countless trillions of stars and planets.
