Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Have you ever seen a conceptual picture of what the universe looks like from an area in space where there is nothing but empty space and there before you your eyes take in the glow of the entire known and unknown universe ? There on the outside edge you might see a very tiny arrow pointing to an even tinier area that the illustrator defines as our solar system. We are asked to see our planet Earth rotating around our Sun.

It makes one seem totally insignificant. But on the other hand there is something wonderful about imagining this enormous universe that transcends any and all matter functioning in a majestic clockwork fashion, ticking away, as it certainly must, with perfect purpose. Why else would it be?

On this level of perception one can visualize that within the universe there is no day and no night... only the perpetual light given off by the universe, building and destroying galaxies, black holes swallowing other constellations, unbelievably humongous clouds giving birth to new stars and suns that we will never be able to see. And by the time this light reaches our one tiny planet millions of light years away (the amount of time it takes for light to travel one year times the years), we, who envision such a scenario have long been parted from this plane of existence.

This one universal happening... this coalescence of matter creating, destroying, birthing, replicating, being swallowed by black holes is actually one. A one that cannot be anything but change... change and movement. The theoretical Big Bang that is moving further and further apart as it (we) are dispelled throughout the mysterious emptiness that surrounds all matter as if it were infinitely small and needy for survival from the unknown that gave it its existence.


No thing exists as does all thing... an interplay of duality in order to bring the light of awareness to the mysteries of Being where all answers are but particles for a never-ending feast of theories voraciously feeding from the trough of questions posed by the necessity of mind in a futile attempt to satisfy it's hunger for a knowledge that transcends it's capabilities... making beliefs.
