I Create therefore I am

 

All we have is energy,

                Bouncing energy,

                                Vibrating energy,

                                                Chemical energy;

Interpreted

                By a web

                                Of neurones

Creating pictures

                Creating tastes

                                Touching reality

With partial awareness.

 

We live in a world of electricity

                We believe to be real.

 

Opher – 5.7.2023

 

Light bouncing off surfaces, sound vibrations, heat vibrations, chemical stimuli. Solid force-fields repelling solid force-fields. That’s all.

Our brain takes it in and conjures up a picture of the universe that we think is how it really is.

It isn’t.

Our understanding of the universe is merely waves of polarisation across neuronal membranes in a complex neuronal web.

What we ‘see’ is not how it really is. What we think we understand – we don’t!

A Ray of Hope

A Ray of Hope

A brilliant ray of sunlight,

                A stream of photons,

Searing through space,

                Forever.

Bouncing off planets,

                Bouncing off faces,

                                Banishing darkness.

A burst of energy

                Released from fission,

                                From fusion,

                                                From the smashing of atoms.

To interact

                In colour,

                                In brightness;

Revealing

                A version of

What

                                                Is real.

Opher 23.5.2023

Some things are eternal – just not people. We die.

But the sun is a factory for smashing atoms to exude light and heat and we have evolved to see it and feel it.

We have evolved senses to respond to some of its energies – but only certain wavelengths. We discern colours and warmth but not gamma or X rays.

Our senses are limited. But those rays of light go on for ever. Excited photons chattering in beams of hope.

So – what is real?
