From a physical-material pov,
what is called the Universe can't lie.
It only speaks Truth. Given: a paradigm.
What is it, he or she saying
can be a question to ask naturally.
People often speak of Nature as Mother.
The past is the past and yet stories vary.
History is history. Interpretations vary.
Differentiations and integrations occur.
Long ago, perhaps, people were animistic.
All phenomena were magical. Luna was alive.
Sol was a god as was Earth of course.
Superstitions developed and remain.
Your brain may have connected phenomena
associated with an event that isn't linked
other than once in the past if a synchronicity
occurred originally. Perhaps more than one did.
Such could be a neuro-scientific explanation.
Yet when an ego structure is involved, and,
a magical type of working worked, to deny
the connection could be a lie.
Perhaps you, as an entity, an individual
so to speak of a sort of a kind of a way
in which differentiations take place, did
have an ability, once, or twice and then
to determine, what was the point may
be asked at a point along the Way.
To have powers, to be connected, to be
not-two can be how some phenomena are
known to attract followers. Like moths.
Like magnets, drawn to forces which
repel them at times when a flip occurs.
Flopping a round like fish out of water,
people might make the Universe laugh.
I'm reminded of three things said to be
unknown and one is water. Another is air,
to the birds and a third is Dao.
A story arrives in mind as a well.
- thanks! aye. Cheers!
