Here Comes The Sun

Solar storms are much more important than we think.

Start with the concept that everything we perceive in our world is energy even if we see it as something solid. This means that we as humans, the things that we have always labeled as "living" such as animal, plants, and so on are basically all the same, but it also means that the rocks, the soil, viruses, the moon, the entire planet we live on, and other planets and suns are also the same. We are, essentially, all one thing acting in different ways around us. If this is true, things are quite simple in this imagining: unless we unlearn the idea that we are separate from everything in our universe we can never really comprehend our universe because we are NOT separate from that which we are studying. And it is this incorrect concept that we as human beings are something separate and different from everything around us that has led us to this goddawful mess that we are calling ecological collapse or climate change. What is happening to us is a direct result of our not seeing that it is impossible for us to participate in actions to affect humans that will not also affect everything else in the universe.

This concept of separateness has damaged us and our relationship to our planet and universe in immeasurable ways, from climate change to our inability to deal emotionaly with death, to the violence and pointlessness of war. Are we killing the world? Not really, because we are all an integral part of the world, and the energy we are will remain in the greater energy in which we exist. Our world will remain, but not in the way that we currently experience and imagine it. What all of the mess around us signals is that we are killing our imagination of our world.

What does this have to do with auroras and solar storms? I have spoken to a lot of people who have noticed discomfort ranging from irritability to incruciating pain during this last period of solar activity. If the sun is a vastly larger and more powerful accumulation of energy than we as humans are, then the effect of solar activity on us is not surprising. But we all are in the habit of thinking of activity as something that is initiated by an individual, which can't entirely be correct if the current understanding of quantum physics is true...and so far that is working out. And the predictions of disruptions to energy-based technology also indicate that there could be some powerful reactions in our planet to the coming solar activity.

I'm not suggesting that the sun is "out to get us" or wants to teach us a lesson. I have no idea why these things are happening. That sort of human-based thought is what has gotten us into this fine mess. But we do need to broaden our comprehension of living to include things that had previously not considered living but now must be considered as part of the incomprehensibly large network of energy that includes our tiny beings. Something to think about.

And now I am going to take a shower and drink a cup of tea.
