Creation Lotus
In a Vedic creation story, one of the aspects of MahaVishnu lies down (asleep?)in the the causal ocean, universes emanate like bubbles or seeds(science concurs with this bubble like description). While laying down - a lotus flower sprouts from the navel -and atop the local creator god Brahma appears. Today, the first thing i noticed, going down to the pond, was the 5 - 6 ft. - pink lotus. Glorious beauty i feel blessed to experience. (I don't know if there will income - or even if i will live here in a month or two - but i am now feeling the great wealth that is given. I do know this comes from within - and - it IS always now). I think it could be the same, doing anything or being anywhere, whatever you put your heart and presence to. The ideas here are that i didn't go to the cray trap first - or look at the murky water and disappearing tadpoles. And if we are made in the image of the creator, we need to create. Noticing or looking for the things that are of beauty and meaning(everywhere) will empower you to work on solving/improving the problems of this temporary world. This touches on the subject of oneness - and - personal responsibility(difference). After creation in the Vedas, another aspect of the Source is said to enter the creations. Is this what is happening Now? Of course, this extremely complicated version of creation isn't possible to know for nearly all, and each group of humans who try to make their own version the "only way" do not succeed. It is the fruit of consciousness and goodness we express that is only important. Yet, we find ourselves in a world where some will steal or kill for their god and feel justified or even heroic. Our choices give us different "realities". The evolution of consciousness must take so long. (That is why Vedantists and geologists speak in millions of years or more). We didn't all come here from our last incarnation, and won't all go to the same place in our next. It is romantic to believe this planet will all enlighten in a brilliant flash(Very possible with a supernatural event). Yesterday i read " You are not in everything - Everything is in you". The oneness of Source that we share is optional to express(or hidden) here. Whether an energy or creator entering -will most likely be revealed. Most of us feel something is happening and details and interpretations differ, all of us are part of this planet---and---there's more than One who is sleeping/dreaming/creating?
