The Universal Dance

Life was never meant to be easy. If we all had an easy life without struggle, loss, or heartbreak… well we wouldn’t have any experience to balance out the light that is shining through the cracks of everyday life. That is to say; we all have a unique experience in which our perception of reality can be either the worst Hell or the greatest Heaven imaginable.

That perception happens simultaneously and synchronistically with every ‘other’ perception that exists, has existed, or is yet to exist. For does perception ever end? Do WE ever really END? How can we know… until we’ve reached the end? What about, the end of a CYCLE? Do cycles exist in reality? Well, yes they do in fact; every measurement of time, matter, or energy ends up becoming cyclical, since everything we are trying to measure acts in cycles.

So is there no end and therefore no beginning?

Until we have reached both points, I don’t think we will ever be able to say. And reaching BOTH points would imply a means of traveling between them, or communication between them, OR at least some sort of knowledge of them; which is something we don’t have. At least not currently. And not to our KNOWLEDGE.

What does it mean to KNOW? To possess knowledge? How can we possess something that is so intangible as knowledge? For isn’t knowledge more than just the memorization of facts? Isn’t it more than knowing how every system in the known Universe operates? Yet isn’t that what the mechanism of science is trying to unveil? What is the fundamental piece they are missing? Why can’t we prove that the Big Bang happened? Why can’t we prove that God exists? Why are there so many unanswered questions?

We never truly KNOW… until we know. And then, to try to describe, translate, pass on, or interpret that knowing… is to immediately corrupt it. To live in a world composed of matter is to live in a world of shadow; light illuminates our world, so without it we would exist in darkness. But then that would be no existence at all. Life would have never spawned and in fact planets wouldn’t have even formed if it weren’t for the formation of light clouds that exploded into stars, shooting cosmic dust across the field of pure potentiality; space, the void. We filled up the night sky with our stars and moons and we filled up our days with the SUN! WHY?! Why does all this exist? By chance? Chaos? The whims of a demented, sadistic, sexist, racist, and hateful God? I think not.

But what do I know?

I can’t tell you why we are here or what we are supposed to do. What I can tell you is this: Life is like a dance. In fact, all of the Universe in its expansive and yet perfectly orchestrated beauty is one Universal dance. I would go so far as to say all the universes are part of it, so we could call it a Multiversal dance but for simplicity’s sake, let’s combine them all into ONE ;)

The Universal Dance. What does that mean? That means we are all here to have fun. Because who dances to be serious? It also means we are all here to work together. Who wants to go to a dance performance where all the dancers are doing their own routine? It’s ALL about choreography and cooperation. So then, is there a master plan? Well we would like to think so… that would give us some kind of ‘comfort’. However, I think it’s bogus. I think there’s no way that there’s a MASTER plan. There is definitely some predictability between cycles, and some cycles will repeat themselves many times over. What would a cycle be called in a dance? Perhaps a scene. So in life we are given a certain number of scenes where we perform in this dance. We have a chance to show off our practice. And how do we practice? We apply lessons we have learned earlier in the dance. We graduate through different levels of dance school as we learn new ways to involve ourselves in the dance.

Sometimes… we find those whom we dance with like no other. These dance partners can take us to our highest highs. They can push us to become the best version of ourselves. They can challenge us and teach us and excite us and LOVE us all at the same time. Sometimes… these people leave us. We aren’t… allowed to dance with them anymore. Our performance together is over and we must move on. The next dance awaits.

But what if we can’t move on? What if we don’t want a new partner? Does this mean we forgot how to dance alone? Are we afraid to try it again? But what does that even mean… alone? How can we ever be alone if we are all dancing together? And does this dancing ever stop? Do we ever truly LEAVE each other? When we dance together aren’t we creating an experience that will stay with us beyond this lifetime? Isn’t that message of love being imprinted into the very fabric of our existence?

It can be so hard to say goodbye to someone who has been our dance partner for so long. It can be the most crushing and defeating feeling in the entire world; like half of our soul just decided to take off and leave what’s left to fend for itself. That partner never leaves us though. Once you dance with someone, they can never leave you; no matter the distance and no matter the history. We are all a part of each other forever. We all form the whole that is all of existence. We are inseparable and inexplicably connected on the deepest level. We may not have met yet, but we are one in the same.

Yet… we all still have that unique experience. We all have our own perception painting our own version of reality for our soul. That is why our own darkest times seem worse than anyone you’ve ever met or heard about; they are YOURS. They aren’t meant to be hidden, locked away, or shamed. They are meant to have light shone upon them, so that the flaws may be exposed and immediately filled with everlasting light. This Unity is possible at all times and in all places. All it takes is KNOWING. What do you need to know? Nothing, besides that we are all Here; we are all Now.

What better way to spend our days… then to dance? <3

Namaste loved ones. Until next time.
