There is a saying, “No good deed goes unpunished.” It is meant to be funny of course, an exaggeration of an unkind world that answers good acts with difficulties. There is truth to this saying rooted in the very nature of the universe. Take Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion, “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This applies to objects within the space-time continuum, but do you not also think it applies to spiritual matters? Every good deed receives an equal and opposite response from darkness and the void. I must not speak of such things as I am determined to stay positive, but know this: When light comes into creation there is, or there used to be an opposing force launching backwards to meet it. Whether or not we have progressed beyond this transient state is anybody’s guess. What should be happening is a kind of spiritual fusion, where instead of opposing darkness another light is produced, so that no good deed would go unrewarded and waves pulsing with the light of life would flow on and on throughout all things. Nothing stays aloft for very long. What goes up must come down unfortunately. When the earth begins to feel like heaven, problems are on the way. People blame each other when things don’t work out, lament circumstances, but this only aids the opposition and drags people further down. There is a difference between constructive criticism and slanderous anger. The way to handle situations that have crashed and are burning is damage control, patience, and a little bit of problem solving. Few dilemmas have a quick fix although kismet will often make an appearance and help solve at least some part of what has gone wrong. For every problem, in time, there is a greater than equal and positive solution.
Another interesting law that will be revised by fusion is Archimedes’ principle or the law of displacement. “The volume of a completely or partially submerged object equals the volume of fluid it displaces.” This law also involves the nature of subtraction or the lessening of something and therefore will not stand among the conditions of a world that is ever positive and luminous with energy. In such a place there need be no displacement. When the object is submerged, the water level can stay the same if it pleases, or it can rise to different heights. The water may even begin to levitate if it wants to. Life will be everywhere, and everything shall be alive.
The next thing I’d like to discuss, and forgive the non sequitur, is dreams. People often dream of flying. This is not by random chance or merely by the yearning to be free. Flying is our destiny. Should we live righteous lives and stay the course of salvation, we will indeed be able to defy gravity, as we will reign supreme with the divine maker of the world. Flight, or at least the dream of flight, is in our nature. Other dreams involve fear, which unfortunately is part of our present, fallen human nature, but away with that. Perfect love casts out fear. Dreams have a certain lifeforce about them which disappears when one wakes, hence the despair at having woken and not being able to see the dream through, to discover the mystery or resolve the conflict. There is an inherent adventurousness to dreams, and often one feels like he or she can soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not faint. We feel like we can do anything without tiring in dreams because we are occupying dream space as opposed to our bodies in the world. Our physical bodies are subject to all manner of limitations, gravity, pressure, the need for water, food, the strain of inertia, and so on. Spiritually our existence is boundless. Emotionally and physically we will be as vast as eternity with nothing to hinder us, nothing to displace us or be displaced. The force of life will be the law by which all things abide and the pure joy of all living beings will be a constant.
I’ve spoken before about my gift and now it’s time to tell you more about the power of flight. When I ascend upon the air I feel a buoyancy not merely of my body but of my soul. The smallest inclination to go a certain way and ouh lá, away I go. Power and lightness converge to produce the most thrilling sensation. I feel truly alive when I’m flying , as if the breath in my lungs were united with all the space in infinity, like my lungs contain all the oxygen in the atmosphere. The grace and swiftness with which I soar is unparalleled in nature or the world of man. I am pure bliss in motion. Not only do I feel free, I feel eternally empowered, which is why I try to resist using my gift too frequently, lest it should be taken away and I punished for my boldness. What would you do if tomorrow you awoke with this ability? Don’t tell me you wouldn’t use it at all. No one possesses such powers of restraint. Speaking of flight it is time for me to go take a spin around the globe, all of which is my abode.
