Even an Atom Has Aspirations

The message of today's post is the realm of existence.  The balance of human life is so fragile that it can be compared to hanging on the thread of a spiders web.

Could you imagine inhaling ten times without exhaling?  Even to try to inhale three consecutive times in a row is not easy.  You can try it.

The natural inhaling and exhaling are one simple example of the beautiful balance that characterizes all of existence.  Balance and harmony exists on a very thin line.  In addition to the respiratory system, our body also has a nervous system and a cardiovascular system.

They maintain a tight, narrow balancing act to sustain the life of the human body.  For example, if you close one nostril, of course it becomes difficult to breathe.

If you close one eye, then your vision is incomplete and your face is not symmetrical.  Through just these examples we conclude that pairs are necessary, or complementary aspects, in our life.

Where does human life originate?

It starts from a base or foundation that is harmonized.  Common logic concludes that everything has its origin in harmony.

Since we come from harmony and balance, there must be some element that generates this equilibrium.  From studying the Principle, you learn that God exists in dual essentialities.

Then it is possible to determine the subject and object elements within God.  This is one of the truly great discoveries in human history.

A subject and an object is needed to form a pair or circuit.

Everything in existence participates as a subject or in an object role.  God is the ultimate subject of the universe and created all things in the objective role to Him.

Within any subject, a minus or objects also exists.  In other words, the subject also contains dual elements.

The plus, which is subject and minus are supposed to form a circuit of give and take, interacting in a complementary manner.  This basic truth of the relationship of God and creation is seen in the cosmos.  The universe is divided into small entities trillions of subject and object.

But the relationship is always subject or plus, and object or minus, and each of these always contains complementary elements.

Chemistry has identified over 100 elements.  An element consists of atoms of only one kind and cannot be broken down into simpler particles by ordinary or physical means.  Each element is identified by the number of plus and minus particles it contains.

The relationship of plus-minus is marvelously complex and sophisticated and can be seen in all the beautiful aspects of the universe.  The variations throughout the universe come from different combinations and angles of plus and minus.

If we take an individual for example, he may have a very large plus element and a small minus element.  There are many variation, but the basic principle will stay the same.  Each being encompasses 360 degrees and includes various plus and minuses while its composition is unique.

Imagine drawing a line through a circle.  The two complementary halves which are formed match if you go directly through the center and balance is created.

Every atom can be broken down into protons, electrons and neutrons.  Even within the small atom, there are two kinds of electrical charges of plus and minus.  

We can compare the atom with a heavenly body: there is always a center with elements that are revolving around it.  Even the smallest of atoms has an electron revolving around the nucleus.  It is like a miniature solar system.

All the elements of existence can be contracted into a tiny atom or expanded to the solar system and the universe.  The microcosm and the macrocosm reflect one another.

Today, scientist say that the universe arises from energy, but what is energy and how does it exist?

Energy operates only within the bound of universal law.

Which is the first cause: energy or action?  This is like the question which came first, the "chicken or the egg".

I already stated that energy is no exception to the law of existence. Neither energy nor action can be permanent or solid without the fundamental elements of plus and minus. In other words, energy and action are like the effect, or the shadow; the complementary elements of plus and minus are prerequisites to both of them. 

When we look at the law of existence and say that thought, spirit comes before matter, then that means that energy or action cannot be the origin of the universe.  What created this energy; where did it come from?

Within God there is plus and minus and that relationship is found everywhere. 

When plus and minus create a circuit, the action of give and take immediately arises.

Action creates energy just as flowing water through a power plant produces energy.  How much energy you exert depends on the size of your object. 

An extraordinary object calls forth extraordinary energy.

For example, would you use the same amount of energy to pick up a piece of chalk that you use lifting a rock?  To relate to a small object, you only need a small amount of energy, while a large object requires greater energy.

This is the most logical universal truth:  existence begins with plus and minus forming a reciprocal relationship of subject and object producing give and take action.  Energy is generated through such action.

Scientist use examples of energy so much because it is something that they can see and study.

But science must recognize that before there is energy there are two deeper elements which may not be recognizable by the scientific method of research.

Plus and minus are invisible and often impossible to study in a laboratory.  Energy has a prerequisite which scientists do not study that far.  They are content to conclude that the universe originated with energy and that is that.

However, energy is unable to produce action if it does not have the two elements of plus and minus, in other words a subject and an object.

Do you have love?

Can you pinpoint where it is and show it to someone?

You are not able to see the love within you or show it.  However, once you have an object of love, you will feel a certain power moving within you through the relationship of give and take.  You then feel love growing.  

On the same token, people may not know whether or not God exists.  God is invisible like love.  You cannot pinpoint His location, but as soon as we become an object to Him, we are able to feel His power moving within us.

This method is very scientific, even though scientists do not recognize it.

All action in the universe springs from the dual natures of subject and object.

Apart from subject and object, action cannot take place and energy cannot be generated.  

We each have hopes and dreams that must have a direction or goal as their subject.  Our aspirations and goals, thus must work together as a hand in a glove, as plus and minus.  People naturally want to fulfill their aspirations and reach their goals, because we long to resemble God.

Our ultimate goal is to unite subject and object.  We then become perfect objects to God and can have direct give and take with Him.

Just as humans have hopes, all things of creation do, too, although on a different level.

The aspiration and goal of all the elements was the creation of the universe.

Without that hope, they cannot connect to God.  Without unity or love, the universe would not have come into existence. All things of creation ultimately aspire to resemble God.
