One: for me is the Universal Gaia Concept. She, yes she, is the Goddess of All, a form of sentient energy that created the All as a projection of Her thoughts. Everything we comprehend as physical reality are but a playground, stage, or an experiment meant as a means to bring the One's concepts into existence. The One is the 99.99 percent of emptiness found within each cell of our body and the vastness of space. She is also beyond the measures of space and time, eternal. One--is the energy that fuses the patterns of our illusionary reality and the omnipresence of Deity beyond space and time. One: must be conceived on multiple levels.
I believe that everything in the All holds a piece of the One, which I have labeled as the Divine Spark. Once again, people have a multitude of names for this concept; some would set limits as the soul is thought to be unique and only possessed by our species. There are those and have been others in the past, which hold with me, the concept that every part of creation includes spirit or Divine Spark, the sun, our solar system, the galaxy etc.
For me this is only logical. It is by infusing this Divine Spark from itself that the Universal Gaia (One ) can experience what She created in a tangible fashion, apart from its collective Deity or manifested omnipresence. We have become so involved with the material, existence: is it any wonder so few of us ever really connect with the Universal Gaia and even fewer still are able to maintain this connection?
The second one is lower cased. This one refers to you and me, the earth, a crystal, the sun and moon, from the cat on my lap to microbes in space. Every aspect of creation held together by a specific set of vibrations, frequency, and energy of the One, is therefore a one. These ones collectively make up the All.
"All is One and one is in All."
"The Divine Spark:"
Before I elaborate on my concept of the Divine Spark, let me digress. It is my stringent belief that all theologies, most philosophies, and many aspects found spiritually within neopaganism, New Ageism, mysticism and other spiritualistic structures have made an erroneous presumption. Almost all elevate our species to a unique position of exaggerated importance within the creation. Seriously, how anyone can honestly look at our species and claim we are the crown jewel of all creation is beyond me. This concept reeks of human hubris and a grandiose collective egotistic insanity.
I believe every aspect of creation has Divine Spark, a piece of energy form the Universal Gaia that creates this illusion of tangible reality. All aspects of creation have a life cycle, all perceived reality a beginning and end. We naively believe our species alone has sentience, again a shared delusion of human hubris. I question how many of us are sentient to speak a blunt truth. Many have now embraced the concept that Gaia (Mother Earth) is sentient. Why not the sun and stars, planets, solar systems, plants and animals?
As a collective, our species has at least partially recognized the Divine Spark. It has been labeled as spirit, soul, Atma, life force, the inner Being, inner Source, the eternal flame just to name a few. My term for it is already stated, the Divine Spark, and we will expand it beyond the traditional definitions. Rest assured, as long as our species survives, other names for this aspect of the eternal, the Divine within, will be created as long as humankind ponders their existence and place within the multidimensional cosmos of creation. Now let us take a closer look at my concept of Divine Spark.
The Divine Spark relates closer to spirit than to soul. Most beliefs, faith-based systems, outside of the Abrahamic Traditions view spirit as a small part of the Divine. Again to me the Divine, being the Universal Gaia Concept.
On the other hand, the soul, has a narrowly minded construct found in the dogmatic teachings of the Abrahamic Traditions and their mystical aspects. They view the soul as the eternal aspect that is unique to each person within our species, something that must stand accountable before a final judgment, the premise that every human has a soul, compared to we are spirit having a human experience.
Most people who believe in the spirit conceive of reincarnation towards a time the entity reaches a stage of Divine incorporation. Others with spirit beliefs have precursors to the modern heaven and hell concept, based on one's conduct during their life. My construct differs from this viewpoint. Primarily because I highly doubt the Divine concerns itself with anything so frivolous as perceptions of ethical/moral values. To me this represents the collective hubris of the human psyche at work, as norms and mores within society change over time, to say nothing of the differences between cultures and eons.
The Divine Spark then is a tiny fractional piece of the Universal Gaia. This spark is imbued into every aspect of creation. This is how the Universal Gaia is able to experience the tangible reality of its thoughts/creative expression. At the conclusion of a life cycle, these Divine Sparks are reunited into the Universal Gaia, uploading or sharing their experiences before being recycled into the creation. A never-ending process of birth, death and renewal, the Divine Spark is reincarnated. I do not tie this into a sense of ethical conduct per se. I see this being connected to the concept of Natural Law, as finding our collective place within this order again and not apart from it.
This does not imply I advocate a free-for-all either. As harming none, and finding balance within your Divine Sparks niche in the creation is key to a permanent reunification within the Universal Gaia, a transcendence from the recycling, from being a part of the duality. The Goddess incarnated within the creation to the omnipresence of the Universal Gaia. If it helps use this crude example to visualize it, worker bee to Queen Bee.
