What’s the Matter?
“What’s the matter?” we say to each other.
“What’s going on? What’s happening here.”
Religion and Science ask these Questions too,
with varied Answers throughout the Ages
held tight or slowly evolving still.
“What is Matter? What’s going on?”
“Who or What created, creates?”
These Questions have been Argued, been Answered,
Answered in Words and Numbers- in Symbols
Explaining All or Parts of the Mystery.
When ‘Answers’ mean Power and Control
to our Primitive, Young Species, some zealously seek
to Dominate and are willing to Kill, to Harm,
to Force, so certain of their ‘Right Answers’.
‘Right Answers’ attack ‘Right Answers’ still
in this Technological Space-Age Day.
Sometimes it’s a matter of ‘Language’-
different ways of Expressing, Describing,
Defining the Same ‘Values’ and Understandings-
‘Arguing Semantics’ of Religion and Science.
Consider this, if you will.
From the Unseen comes the Seen
ever returning to the Unseen…
From the Formless comes the Forms
ever returning to the Formless…
From Spirit comes Matter-
the Formless in Forms of Matter
ever returning to Formless Spirit again…
From Pure Energy comes Matter
Transforming and Rearranging
Life like Jesus coming again-
Life like Buddhas reincarnating-
Life like Particles appearing, rearranging again…
Impersonal Forces and Processes, Personal Deities…
Impersonal Laws like Gravity
and Personal Saviours like Jesus
throughout World History…
Unseen-Seen, Formless-Forms,
Spirit-Pure Energy-Matter All One…
Life Itself-Nature respected or disrespected…
all Interconnected, a Unity Diverse,
a Unity of Life, seen or unseen by Humans
even ‘Arguing Semantics’ and perceiving Life
through their shared or different World Views…
We are Spirit, Energy, Formless, Forms…
In Essence, we are all One- Parts of Life’s Body-
Simultaneously In Essence Being Many
yet One great and glorious Mystery, One…
God-Spirit-Pure Energy-Life Sacred and Holy
Bless Us, Every One.
