“To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
"What is Divine Light?"
In a word: love.
By each new story, we create and gain a colorful insight on what it means to truly find, lose, and find again... love... for either you, another, mankind, maybe big lanky moonmen who terrorize the astronauts... perhaps even - The Creative Force. But seriously the big lanky moonmen scaring the pants off our astronauts! But again... we're all stardust, and planets, and plants and amoebas and whales and we're off to the races!! A whole verdant array of spaces where oxygenation took root. Yes.
I know how planets get made. Those two things that you're thinking of - it's both.
Indeed it took a long time to transpire in the galaxy as a whole! Space is vast, cold, unwavering, and many an outpost is surely a labor of pure love, hope, maybe a bit of desperation, maybe downright SPIRITUAL GIFTS FROM somewhere. We Earthlings already have what is called the Arch project. This itself seems silly for it emphasis the notion that we're unable to control ourselves. Or surrender ourselves to a totally uncontrollable set of factors thrust upon us... for MILLENIA.
Space and Time is not just a vast dichotomy, it is eternal - forever. US Andersen took this a step further into contracting and expanding forces that can be found in every aspect of our lives: the electromagnetic spectrum, chemistry, biology, consciousness, our very brainwaves.
Short of witnessing psychic phenomenon like telepathy and precognition, which are certainly gifts of a terrifying sort for most... you first have to go back to square one and question what is your very mind. Who's in charge... where does it come from... What exactly does it mean to continually question authority?
To reference politics is to go back to the holy grail our ascended teachers once told us... everything is held in the palm of one hand, weightless, ever-present, an essence that every living thing holds, the spark of the divine, the truly novel in a mostly black and ignorant void... the novelty itself bending the structure of the Universe.
Time marches on, more novelty occurs, and the fabric of reality gets strung and bent and wrapped upon those moments which supersede any sort of 'plan.' The deviation from 50/50 moves more to 1 in a trillion and the civilizations in the stars and at home all kind of accept that this is getting sufficiently weird.
Domination vs continuation, dismissal and removal, call a black bird any name. I get lost in the dichotomies of the place we call home, so I've made my own.
However.
Control vs. Freedom.
This is the most important notion we can entertain right now because it also affects our lives in the here and now. Not all of us can agree on such things, but with kindness... love... peacefulness... tolerance.., they don't have to be a separate thought. Again, these two lie in wait to be discovered simultaneously.
Our ability to control and manipulate our environment is what makes us homosapiens. To spread that same environment out and allow growth and prosperity is a rather spiritual pursuit.
Freedom is NOT the net result of control, and control can NEVER guarantee something like a quantum computer or a humanoid robot... or a pill that ends the aging process. Nor the end of the world.
Freedom is a place unknown, unseen, wild, and control is often that same relic once again.... the darkness dispelled by a signal fire.
