Original Source


Original source: 

the first cause argument in theology is that everything is traced back to God through effect after effect, that there is an original source found without having any cause at all, simply having always been and being sole reason for existence. This even lends itself to every scientific discovery, giving God credit for everything from the Big Bang through evolution and every other great discovery and advancement. I'm not going to say otherwise, although religion holds no personal answers for me, it remains a theory worthy of consideration, for some at least. 

of course the original source has yet to be explained.

personally, I see the universe as an endless loop, infinite cause and effect without a true beginning and end, just a continuous expression of one thing only in various stages of creation. This holds close to the Upanishads description of cycles of creation and destruction, the universe in repetition of itself for reasons of its own cosmic evolution. I never quite buy the evolution aspect of this theory and always give first and only cause to joy - that the universe self-creates for the point of it's joyful becoming and that destruction is simply the means of a new beginning. 

but it's all speculation, really.

there's no reason for me to believe anything.

for me it's just the curiosity through the act of writing, my own cosmology of another empty page that lends itself to my fulfillment as a writer. It's another endless loop, with each morning's page presenting itself again as the original source for every idea and inspiration to be expressed. I have no idea the first cause of this endeavor, but again I give it's reason to the sake of joy. It all seems, to me at least, to circle back to love, that the universe is written into existence by the ineffable hand of love, original source of every inspiration, and always the cause for another story to be written.   

that's my own cosmology.

my endless loop.

and only original source.
