To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, all in one - John Ruskin
There is a silent vastness to the universe. Can we look behind the veil to see how matter and spirit, science and mysticism are intertwined together? We observe, investigate, study, and test to find that we have fallen asleep. Like Jacob waking from a dream, we discover in science that God is here and we did not know it. The whole cosmos whispers and points us in a direction but are we listening?
Is the world something we exploit or use for our own ego or is it a gift to be treasured and protected? All creation is interconnected and moving towards a future point which is Christ. When the best of science and our inner mystical intuitions join, we suddenly discover the world and life is sacred and our spirit is fully alive in Christ. There is a harmony and symmetry to the universe just like there is entropy, death, and chaos. The empty spaces, the nothingness between the matter, and even the chaos point to something beyond themselves.
The divine math can even use these counter currents of chances, probability, and coincidence to become acts of providence under the cross currents of the cross of Christ and His resurrection. Descending leads to ascension and while the imperfect is being made perfect. Catastrophes, tragedy, and natural disasters can point to the significance of life and promise can emerge from disorder. The smallest atom and molecule gives way to countless connections towards higher life and spiritual evolution.
Science can herald and witness the innumerable ways God works within creation. What appears as random events may emerge through many eons as the incarnation of God's son. Just like various chemicals attract and repel and bond together, so God is bonding the whole cosmos to His son. Grace is the invisible stuff that holds the universe together. It is the impermeable glue that connects everyone and everything to God.
What scientist and mystic can both appreciate are the little things in life that most people either ignore or just don't take the time to notice. Matter and Spirit are part of the same evolutionary movement that all lead back to Christ. As Spirit and matter penetrate in deeper union, love unfolds and blossoms. Natural evolution points to spiritual evolution and they are like an arrow pointing the way towards cleansing, healing, and union of everything. Like a magnificent crescendo of an orchestra, all creation arrives and converges with its Creator.
Atoms everywhere moving beyond their present state
all creation waiting for hope
Spirit and matter working together as one
We participate in the whole cosmic flow
Everything pointing forward to the multiplicity of the world
and the creative simplicity of God
New awareness, cosmic emergence
The substance of matter and spirit turn
and spiral into a holy convergence.
Sin and death are written in our very genes
Eruptions and devastations and countless resurrections
The cosmos is more than the sum of its parts
The Lord Jesus Christ comes to rule our hearts
In the cross currents of time
To the depths of the center
is Christ our paradigm
