Recently, whenever I see things around me, natural things or "man made" things I am aware that all of these things have come through intelligence creativity and love. The wrapper on a sweet, a car with the myriad of parts that makes it a car, the computer with all the parts that make it work, everything on the shelf in a supermarket and everything in every shop that we enter, a lampshade, a light switch, a pen, a knife a fork a food blender, skyscrapers, cities with all the infrastructure, aircraft, beautiful clothes, symphony's that have been written etc.
I realize that everything, every invention and discovery and expression has come through insight, creativity, intelligence and love. I can see that these defining discoveries big and small, and creative expressions have come from nowhere, so to speak. People that have made major discoveries and written beautiful works of music, many of those people speak of - "when I stopped thinking and trying it was just there" I think we have all had creative and profound revelations and insights in the same way, out of no where, when thinking and trying stopped.
As much as people have laid claim to the invention, discovery or expression from what has come from that source. In truth it has come to them, through them but not from them. I can see that when this is recognized, the fact is, that all has come from this underlying intelligence creativity and love.
The same life energy intelligence and creativity and love that is responsible not only for all the "man made" things, but everything we see and hear, every tree, flower, animal, bird, insect, cloud, star, the moon the sun, the ocean the rain. Every man woman and child, everything has come from, and is an expression of this underlying creativity intelligence and love.
All that I have shared is because just before I got into my car outside Santos, there was a top knot pigeon walking on the asphalt road, about a metre away from my door, and just next to it was a bottle top. In that moment the asphalt road, the pigeon and the bottle top were different but the same. Cleary, unquestionably one and the same - expressions of this underlying source, this love.
