A new normal they call it, a new way of living marked with changes to our day to day life. All this human endeavor just makes me come back to thinking how easily we forget we are just biological creatures living in a biological world. Once again, coming to terms we are not above nature but with it, we are one with nature not separate. We are one with the Universe not apart.
How can we expect to venture out in the other planets and worlds if we are not ready to handle things like a simple, minute virus. Though these have been around for ages, and even into our own generation, we still have much to learn and much to be prepared for. It is my belief the current pathogen gripping nations has been modified in a lab, one that has been tampered with. This is significant because it just makes me think of the power of human capability, IVF procedures, DNA discoveries, the whole venture into biology and modern knowledge.
When our ancestors discovered fire they must have also known its power to destroy sooner or later, so we too must come together and know the dangers of what lies in the unknown, that which is within our discoveries and new sciences. May the Universe show us the way forward, the lesson is clearly being made manifest, and we must unite, we are not apart, clearly what may happen to one of us may happen to all of us.
We are connected, humanity needs to evolve, we need to take steps toward human unity as a planet, that is difficult but not impossible. It is perhaps an evolutionary step we are coming to terms with now, with this pathogen and other things like global warming, the internet, social media, we are become more aware of each other and the great big circle is becoming increasingly smaller, the international space station is a witness to this new world view.
This vision is one of my life prayers, as what I can conclude from my current time perception. Unity, union as planet, knowing that what befalls one person can befall every person in world. May the Universe help us achieve this step in evolution.
