One gazes up into the night sky, seeing the millions of points staring back. If there is such a thing as divinity, One is that very thing.
It is not the divinity of the church, or the divinity of the god of knowledge, or the knowledge that builds gods, builds the difference between human beings and destroys with those very same differences.
No, this is a divinity of the highest order, because it cannot be ordered by any external or internal authority. It is completely freeing. No, not freeing; it is freedom. It is functioning of this organism with absolutely no reference, no need to follow, no desire to be free. No gods can move, alter, or imprison this. No law can force it to conform. It is timeless, lawless, godless.
One gazes up into the night sky, and freedom stares back.

Space is not the “Final Frontier” but rather openness itself. Sheldrake says that when we look into the night sky, our awareness moves out to meet the stars.
One doesn`t know if there is any final frontier to anything. What a bummer. One cannot even be sure that there is any complete knowledge of any subject.
The only certain thing is the void within, or emptiness, or infinite movement beyond movement, stillness beyond stillness. It stretches beyond what one might be able to imagine.
There is no push and pull of outward influence. It is an organism bathed in the complete freedom that arises in each and every second of every lifetime.
It is a constant without continuity. It doesn`t matter if one is listening to Steely Dan or eating a bagel. Or both at the same time.
