The Meaning-Fueled Cosmos


I personally think life on this planet and in this cosmos is not an accidental by-product of some ancient explosion. This trite theory attempts to subvert the dynamic unfolding of life at levels and stratums of existence that are barely understood by the voluminous library of history. If life is the necessary corollary of primordial fireworks, if life is the invariable outcome of some flash across the primeval depths of the pre-cosmic vacuum, then I firmly believe that this ecstatic explosion is a continuous process. This means that the origin is always moving out of itself, and life, the multiplicity of forms, is always an expression and extension of the origin. This is understood in geometrical terms as the center (origin) expressing itself through radii (energy systems) that in turn sketch out a circumference (the web of life). Everything is interconnected in this schema with the help of the one verse, the uni-verse, the logos of the ancients. Unequivocally speaking, life is self-referential.

In this self-referential universe of multi-textured, multifaceted energy systems, meaning is not the unwanted offspring or accretion of life’s propulsive thrust. Meaning is actually the blood of the universe. It sustains the self-referential universe by flowing throughout the cosmic schema in a continuous fashion. It constantly and inexorably informs the multiplicity of forms—the great interconnected web—with the help of a universal heart that acts like a command center for all organs of the cosmic mind. When this meaning-blood flows to a particular form or person or mind or element in the cosmic schema, a relationship is made between the command center (origin), the flow itself (meaning), and the thing, element, or mind that is being informed (galactic participant).

Nature likes this trinity. Without its integral involvement in all of our affairs, we would be unable to relate or correspond with anything, and we would act like vacuous automatons at all times. Because we as sentient beings are in direct communication with the universal heart with the help of meaning-fuel, we are able to be co-creators and regal galactic participants even when we are seemingly doing very little. We’re hard-wired to interact with the great web of life by using the information given to us by the universal heart in a way conducive to empowering our souls.

Why yes, we should be the proud carriers of meaning-fuel.
