TheSeed

It necessitated

It was like a seed not yet planted, willing itself to be in a universe not yet existing.  It was, for a lack of a better term, unborn, necessitating its own birth.  But it could not be, for there was nothing that could plant the seed.  Thus, it existed without a place, suspended without time.  It was, but not yet.  It necessitated for itself a place, a space where there was none; it was in that necessity that it created without much effort a space where it could grow, where it could finally find itself life. 

​

Being

There was no beginning, and no end.  It was an explosion of being; where being suspended between existence and non-existence, had finally come to be, extending itself forward into the space it had just created at the moment it needed to be.  It was creating for itself the means for its existence.  But the seed, to be planted, had to give of itself, to sacrifice itself to that space that would give it life.  Thus, life ceased to exist when existence came to be, to be carried into every corner of the universe, to find itself again at the right time and place.

​

Sacrifice

The sacrifice of this seed, its source of being, had been, at that moment, necessitated by its own destruction to provide the very vessel needed for life to exist in a bodily embrace.  The body was created to house that which gives it life, and that which gives it life, existence, and that which provides it with understanding, consciousness. Consciousness had been planted throughout the universe, carried amidst the unity of everything, into the exploding chaos of birth. 

​

Consciousness

Thus, consciousness necessitated a place, a space, a beginning where it could grow, and mature.  A place where it could find it-self, for-it-self.  Life necessitates existence; existence necessitates space; space necessitates time; time necessitates change.  The seed needed this universe; this place needed this space where space changed over time.  The seed needed this galaxy; the seed needed this solar system; the seed needed this planet; it is here it found itself life.  Life needed this planet.  It is intertwined.  This truth cannot be understood, it can only be felt at the intersection of life, force, existence, and time.  It is there where the consciousness of the universe can be briefly connected with the consciousness of the individual who sees that there is no difference between human consciousness and the consciousness of everything. 

​

Life

Life needed to be, and so it was, for if it had not, it would not have necessitated itself.  But it did.  In the beginning there was consciousness suspended between existence and non-existence; it was alone.  It necessitated for itself.  Thus, came the first act of existence.  Now it seeks to find it-self, for-it-self again.  All living beings are the vessels of consciousness.  All living beings partake from the same substance.  Some merely manifest it more than others.  In that, consciousness needs this planet, as much as this planet needs life.  This is the truth of our ancestors, that existence in this planet is necessarily tied to our actions.  Our consciousness gives us a responsibility to all living beings.  Our consciousness interconnects us with all of the consciousness of the universe.
