Aurora Borealis
|
|
Here's a fact which stretches my comprehension: the visibility of
some celestial objects depends on the time of day / year, and the
location from where they're being viewed.
The constellation Orion
and our sun for example, while only visible at certain times of the
day / year, are visible from all locations on
Earth.
A few, the Aurora Borealis ie the "northern lights"
for example, while also only visible at certain times of the day /
year, are only visible from certain locations on
Earth.
And as far as I know, none of the other celestial objects are
visible at all times of the day / year, from every location on
Earth.
Orion's
visibility from any location on
Earth,
makes it all the more remarkable since it's therefore one those
rarest of objects (celestial and otherwise) to have most likely
been viewed by every one of the one hundred and twenty billion
people, past and present, who have ever walked the face of
this Earth.
But given the time of day / year, and its location, the same can
not be said about the Aurora Borealis - not to mention other
celestial objects either. Analogously, who we really
are doesn't
show up
everywhere.
So
consider
this: enter
stage right
who we really are as the full possibility of being for
human beings.
If we were like
Orion,
who we really are would be seen everywhere, even if it didn't
show up
all the time. If we were like the Aurora Borealis, who we really
are would neither be seen everywhere, and nor would it
show up
all the time. Really.
That being said, it may be that who we really are for ourselves as
human beings,
is more akin to the Aurora Borealis than it is to
Orion:
we would have to engage in a certain kind of work / we would have
to engage in a certain kind of conversation (call it a
conversation for
transformation
if you will) in order to
access
it ie in order to make it available, especially at those times in
those locations when it isn't ordinarily available. If you don't
see
Orion
from where you're located, wait a while: pretty soon it will come
into view. But if you don't see the Aurora Borealis from where
you're located, it might never come into view - no matter how long
you wait. You may have to travel to one of the locations on
Earth
from where it's visible, then wait there for it to come into view.
