| Atoms - the building block of matter |
At the heart of our exploration lies the profound concept of matter. To comprehend its depth, we should embark on a journey that begins with its very essence. As perceived within the confines of our 3D world, matter is a captivating enigma that has intrigued seekers of knowledge for eons.
Unraveling the Origins of Matter
The word "matter" traces its origins through various languages and historical periods. It ultimately finds its roots in Latin, where "materia" refers to wood, timber, or building materials. Over time, the term evolved in meaning and usage, eventually encompassing the broader concept of physical substance.
Matter, which we interact with daily, has properties on particles and atoms in the traditional sense. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter, and they are tiny, far beyond the reach of our senses or even most microscopes. When we touch an object, we are not actually touching the atoms themselves; rather, we are experiencing the electromagnetic forces between the electrons on the outer shells of our sensor tools and the electrons of the atoms in the object. This interaction gives a touch sensation but doesn't involve direct contact with individual particles or atoms (The Atom - What We Are Made Of).
Let us embark on this odyssey by first unraveling the etymology of matter—a linguistic voyage through the annals of human language. The word itself has evolved through time, bearing the imprints of countless generations who grappled with its meaning. This etymological pilgrimage will shed light on the historical perceptions of matter, its significance, and how it has evolved within our collective consciousness.
Matter's Scientific Essence And Symbolism
But to truly grasp the essence of matter, we must delve deeper into the scientific realm. Here, matter takes on a definition that transcends the ordinary. It becomes the fundamental substance woven by our world—a fabric of atoms, particles, and energy. While precise and empirical, the scientific definition of matter opens a portal to a deeper understanding of the universe's building blocks.
Yet, matter extends beyond the laboratory and the textbooks. In the intricate dance of human existence, it assumes symbolic significance. Possessions and idols, constructed from the very matter of the cosmos, become repositories of our desires and attachments. They mirror our longing for permanence in an impermanent world, offering glimpses into the complexities of human nature.
Matter as Divine Essence
We have laid the foundation for a profound exploration of matter. We have unraveled its linguistic roots, delved into its scientific essence, and contemplated its significance in the human experience. As we venture further, we will unlock even deeper layers of understanding, revealing matter's role in the grand tapestry of existence.
Guided by the wisdom of ascended master Jeshua Ben Joseph, we venture beyond conventional understanding and delve into the esoteric realms where matter takes on a transcendent significance.
Shimmer Of Motes With Motion And Rest
Master Jeshua Ben Joseph invites us to perceive matter as more than mundane substance. In the grand tapestry of the universe, everything is but shimmering motes—minuscule fragments of divine creation (The Christ Letters - Letter 3: The Fundamental Impulses of Existence and Human Consciousness). These motes dance in harmony, interweaving the very fabric of existence. Within this cosmic matrix, humanity finds its place, intricately connected to the collective consciousness of the cosmos.
Yet, the awakened being stands at a pivotal crossroads. They possess the profound knowledge that the 3D matrix, where matter appears fixed and immutable, is not an absolute reality. Consciousness holds the key to transcendence, allowing one to navigate the delicate balance between the divine and the worldly. In this union of opposites, they discover the power of creation itself.
As we journey deeper into the mysteries of matter, we witness awakened beings who can manipulate it within the 3D matrix. This manipulation, often called creation, is an act of profound harmony with the universe's underlying order. The awakened one shapes matter with intention, their thoughts and emotions manifesting as tangible reality.
However, discernment becomes paramount on this path. What truly matters? The awakened being understands that matter can be a benevolent ally or a heavy burden. In the choice of what to create and how to wield this creative power, they ascend toward a higher state of existence.
Matter As Sacred Tools
So we have journeyed into the mystical realm where matter is no longer mere substance but a divine essence. We have glimpsed the interconnectedness of all things in the cosmic matrix and contemplated the power of consciousness to transcend the limitations of the 3D world.
It is a profound revelation—the realization that matter is not merely substance nor an abstract concept. Still, it is a sacred tool that facilitates the human journey through the tapestry of existence.
As we contemplate the role of matter as a tool, we find ourselves at the crossroads of responsibility and wisdom. In all its forms, matter serves as an instrument for our earthly sojourn. These tools are not meant to be accumulated endlessly; we are not collectors in this cosmic journey. Instead, we are gatherers of experiences, wisdom, and love.
Consider the profound implications of this understanding. Matter, whether tangible or intangible, should be wielded wisely. It becomes a vessel through which we facilitate life, nurturing both the physical realm of Earth and the ethereal domains beyond. The choices we make in how we use matter have far-reaching consequences, not only for our individual paths but for the well-being of the collective consciousness.
What Truly Matters
In stewardship of these sacred tools, we must be mindful of the delicate balance between sufficiency and excess. The wisdom lies in recognizing that we are custodians, not hoarders. Nothing material we accumulate in this earthly existence will accompany us when we transcend the boundaries of our physical bodies and journey beyond the veil.
Remember this profound truth: What truly matters in our existence are the intangible treasures—the experiences that shape our souls, the love that connects us, and the wisdom that guides our eternal journey. Matter, in all its forms, serves as a means to an end, a tool to facilitate the greater purpose of our existence. (And so it is)
