Absolute cause and effect?

You decided. Before you decided, you saw it in your mind’s eye. How can you be sure you decided, you caused the action? Is there absolute meaning to cause and effect?

Too small for my frame

Leaky, fuzzy family

An audience laughing and singing at a play is fuzzy. A family crying at a funeral is fuzzy. A physicist getting the equations of the latest theory is fuzzy. A nun in deepest contemplation is fuzzy. Our highest and best is fuzzy.

The faster it goes the more time it takes

The faster something goes the more time it takes. As our communications increase, and increase in speed, our presidential campaigns start earlier and earlier. Notice that Congressional electioneering has approached continuous—that is, infinity.

Maps, territory, and the other way round too

The map is part of the territory
The map seeks to organize the territory
While reality likes the other way round too

Jumping dimensions

Today is about seeing the unity that seems absent when we jump from one dimension to another: in a plane what we see as back and forth, in two dimensions is something running in a circle; in two dimensions what we see as two circles on a paper, in three dimensions is one torus sliced by the paper. So what we see in the dimension of meditation/contemplation is its own reality, likely above or beyond our ordinary.

I am white-haired

I am white-haired
I was dark-haired
I am that
I am this
I exist
I do not exist
Dimensions three
Show unity
We miss in two
All the same
To me

This braid needs all three strands

This braid needs all three strands
Is part of the same head
All hairs are sisters and brothers
Interdependent, interconnected, interrelated

If the world is always changing

If the world is always changing
Then God is ever changing
If the world’s patterns are static
God is unchanging
Such opposites tell us the ways of God
