Why does Desire arise to create a cosmos or you, me and this writing? Personally, I don't think there is any specific answer. I do know that we are here for everything else. For example, you and I are instrumental in maintaining the atmosphere which allows for life to prosper on this planet. As you and I breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, the trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. In other words, you and I, alongside the trees, function as the lungs of the Earth. Even more exciting, we and the trees are in this dance alongside everything else on this planet.
To take this to another level, Einstein came up with a theory he called entanglement. In physics experiments, if two particles are created together, some of their attributes will become entangled. If the two are then separated, doing some action to one instantaneously affects the other. It doesn't matter if they are 10 billion light years away or right next to each other. Do something to one and the other changes.
It's as if there is no time or space between the two particles.
Perhaps we are akin to cells in a living organism in which the space between parts is nonexistent. It has to be nonexistent for traveling through space means a signal will take time. So, at some point in Reality, though you may be in California and I in Maine, we are closer to each other than our nose is to our face. Perhaps this explains ESP phenomena?
Indeed, perhaps movements in history could be likened to the tides where a low tide in Europe means high tide in the Americas. The high and low tides are not separate movements. Contemplate the ramifications of this. Perhaps what appears to us as opposites are but the effects of holistic movements? It's like the sloshing of bath water.
The tides illustrate this notion that opposites are not in a warring opposition. What we consider an enemy is our own reflection. Opposites are aspects of one movement. If Europe is at high tide, America is low. It's the same in relationship to male and female. Male and female complete each other and the species, made in the image of the whole, or God, male and female, are a united being and not embattled, warring factions. It's like the positive (male) aspect of a piece in a jigsaw puzzle matching with the negative (female). Both operate in unison to make the whole picture.
That whole picture is inherent in each of us. Thus the commandment to love thy neighbor as thyself is more cosmic reality than not. Understand the consequences. The radical, warring born again Christian is the radical, warring Muslim is the dogmatic scientist caught up in his theoretical stance in the world. These are one whole encaged in what could be called a beast"a single organism that is making war on just about everything in sight. Yet, that beast is still part of a larger whole"hence it could be seen as attacking itself. The dragon's slayer may wind up being himself.
Furthermore, if we can't see ourselves in that beast, then how are we going to heal? How can we transcend our limited perceptions and enter into a higher order of consciousness in which we see our wholeness?
