Growing Fat or Growing Tall
what are we learning through it all….?
I will be the gladdest thing under the sun. I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.- Edna St. Vincent Millar
There are many today, that will say that man has developed greatly. What with all the new technology and the buzz of the media. It has indeed become a smaller place to live in that is for sure!
Recently I was in a conversation regarding man’s evolution and how we have advanced through the ages. Particularly during the last hundred years. Could it be that we would create life through all this nano sciences and development of the gene ??? A part of the discussion rode on the fact that computers and the new evolving robotics would some how one day over take humanity and maybe even destroy us with their clear thought and logical wisdom. The fear of our own destruction was not far away in the discussion…..
It is very apparent, that in new ways of thought that we are indeed somewhat all knowing. How ever the more I dwell on it the more it dawns on me that man is only getting “fat ” in knowledge and not ” Tall’ . what we are doing is sticking to physical realities, much of these advancements are connected to the physical world.
However if we look at the universe and many other galaxies, ever circling this earth, I end up feeling rather small after all.( But not in a bad way) Suspended in this space of time it does seem endless and our rather egoistic tome that we could even try to overtake the mighty creator or even begin to comprehend the waste essence of space and time.
I then realized that as we seek to find new truths that surround us to day it is very important to gain inner wisdom of the spirit.the best way to be is to have it go hand in hand. One without the other somehow does not seem to suffice.
True growth for me comes from one on the greatest sayings made by Socrates” I know that I do not know” This sets our minds free to explore the many possibilities of the spirit,as well as the body.
Even though man has created, and will continue to do so in the future there is one element that cannot be fulfilled. the breathing of the soul into the body. That belongs to each of us, stemmed by our own desire to be re-born and Gods grace in allowing it so. Let us never become so full of fatness that we forget this amazing occurrence the giving of true life and the reason for it.
the body is born to do great works, kind works productive works. Let us not forget our purpose and truly look within as well as without to grow in strength and inner wisdom. Growing tall comes with it all. For the Spirit of life will always hover the oceans never to be caught only to be felt and given. I am thankful for this life time may God in his mercy grant me the wisdom to handle my life well. In accordance to his will, and never to get too fat in my own greatness. Amen.
“For the spirit of the world can never be made and can never be broken. It will live on with the tides of time, to a endless eternity. For the spirit of the soul is never seen but felt” Dilani Diva

I agree!
Wonderful post, Dilani. I have the idea that no matter what the future brings or rather, what we bring into the future, be it greater mechanical intelligence or a more efficient, survivalistic genetic species; the core essence of ourselves is inviolate, indefatigable and, more importantly, indestructable. The tinkerings of humanity cannot scratch nor scathe our spiritual structure because as pure spiritual beings, we are eternally unblemished. And if by chance we enter a phase of hegemony where we have augmented our existence into one where a nation of mechanistic intelligences and mutated species overshadow the outdated of us or our outdated way of life, then on a greater level of collective spiritual being, we must have agreed to these state of affairs for a greater situation in learning. Because for every dark situation, there is a light somewhere inside, and if we can see it, we can find the way out. This, I believe, is the purpose for dire circumstances and situations, of malevolent social institutions; they force us to grow and learn from our mistakes not on an individual level but as a collective consciousness. And if we fumble and fuddle our lesson, there is always the vibration of Saturn, where as Edgar Cayce once said ” . . . where all insufficient matter is cast” and remade. “For God loves those who are willing to start over.”
All the best!
