‘The Ways Of Being,’ in the beginning
said but waves of potentiality.
Bestowed with mass, life and design when touched,
to fulfill their purpose in tenancy.
On earth, made needy, soft, perfect and flawed,
with both a flair and a propensity.
Needing evolving and experience,
to fulfil their function in Destiny.
Unfathomed by most, their de facto post,
known only, following their effacing.
Having suffered and having acquired,
the know how, to know and guide the living.
No longer succumbing to their ego’s control,
they’re having had learned to know and bestow.
The means it’s said we come about,
the same as that we get wiped out.
Commentary:
This sonnet referring to the famous double split experiment in the study of quantum Physics. Where photons are shown to exist as a wave function that collapse into particles when seen. One of many origin stories in our in science, in legends, myths and religions. That in time tend to fall from both grace and use, usually for the newest and latest scientific theory. Each of them having to some degree, helping us assuage the sporadic anxiety the emanates from our lack of real knowledge, regarding our life and death on this world. All that what most people would rather deny and/or not attend to, preferring other goals and considerations.
Life’s uncertainties easier coped with, when our myths and stories are believed, able to provide some framework , and a level of certainty, and/or some equilibrium, enough to attend to their or our more pressing survival and economic concerns and needs.
Our, (those stories and narratives) in time developing into religions, ideologies and identities based on their explanatory, economic and evolutionary power. Most lacking both completion and real experimental evidence for them. Often considered backward and primitive by many in various scientific endeavors. Who see their own theories superior, unable to fathom the former’s suppositions.
That, (however much science they’ve learned) has also provided some degree of refuge from uncertainty, an explanation enabling attendance to our ever pressing economic needs and concerns. Until, some say, they’re having an experience of a higher order, that of the unity and function of existence and our role in its being. Enabling them some respite or rest in its realization.
