Vast Shores, Vaster Depths



The vasty deep of the places of consciousness is untapped by normal living.

Like sun-loving multicells we float within inches of the surface, mapping waves and ripples; and this is the greatness of our vision.

Beneath these sunny shallows are dimensions of beauty, insight, powerful intent, and endless design of which we wot little.

To ease our sense of self-esteem we often mark these up to a more powerful intelligence, and say the deeps are God. But they are no more God than seaweed.

The shores are vast enough, and the depths which approach them many times more so.

To know, to know, is the sole ambition of the soul becoming one.
