‘The Ways Of Being,’ in the beginning
said but waves of potentiality.
Given mass, form and life when seen and touched,
to fulfill their purpose in tenancy.
On earth, made perfect, needy, soft 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.
Albeit, having our origin stories in our legends, myths and religions. That in time fall from both grace and use, usually for the latest scientific theory. To some degree, having 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.
For some, those, life’s uncertainties are easier coped with, when their myths and stories are believed, providing some framework , and a bit of certainty, and some equilibrium, enough to attend to their or our more pressing survival and economic concerns and needs.
Our stories and narratives in time developing into religions, ideologies and identities based on their explanatory, economic and evolutionary power. Most lacking both compleation and 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 in its realization.
