The essence that surrounds all life is something very interesting to study about because it generates a lively debate on what the meaning behind ours and every life really means. It causes us to think, or even rethink our perceptions regarding this matter, a substance of life and/or dead. It makes us into somebody or something that truly exists, or maybe even not at all. This is quite extraordinary as it pushes us into learning about its depth, about what man does need to do to live a full life, a humane life vis-à-vis his neighbor and even towards ourselves as a person. Once we can grasp the true meaning behind this great opportunity we have been given, the secrets of life so to speak, only in such an environment will we all become in the ability of sustaining a non-extinguishable existence throughout every universe or G-d's entire world. After all, the beauty of nature should inspire us to think twice before we start to ignore its richness, the wealth it can give not only to us, but to all life regardless of how it lives or how we are doing so in relation to gender, race, color or whatever else there is that could differentiate us from our fellow-being. In spiritual essence seen, we are all one and the same personality who serves G-d one way or another. The body is merely the primordial vessel wherewith we can attain such a state of awareness and receive the blessings that comes with it, even becoming fully aware of our talents, the spiritual ones. Together, even with nature, we are as one entity. And only in such a oneness can we achieve complete harmony between all life, every particle of it.
Of course, the truth within our natural viewpoint is that we live and die, not first of all die before we can live. Still, we die first and live thereafter. This is what nature does teach us in the form of a seed. The seed can only mature into a lively matter when it dies first, with the earth serving as an alternative to the female human egg/womb. And this is not that much different within our human world, or even in the world of a spider whereas a female spider will kill the male once it has been made pregnant. The same occurs with regard to the female egg. It will try to kill the male seed, to discard the foreign 'intruder' into its cell, a process which on its turn will generate a pregnancy, or to cause the internal energy of the seed, that succeeded in impregnating the egg, to divide it into more cells and ultimately into a new still unborn life till the infant becomes born and the 'intruder' of the first hour is yes gone in a manner of speaking. Therefore, based on this kind of knowledge, we cannot but assume correctly that it's not the male, rather the female side of nature that isn't only strongest, but also most powerful, omnipotent, whereas the male side is sacrificing itself without questioning it within the matter of right or wrong. This reality is also reflected within Judaism in its most appropriate and blessed way when it concerns questions related to someone's descend. As such, we are taught that Moshiach can only come from a line of female descendants in a straight line to king David, not king Shlomo (Solomon). It could even suggest a female Moshiach bat David rather than a male one so to speak. Or why not a Moshiach ben (bat) David who will have both sexes in the same likeness of the Adom of the Garden, man created in the likeness of G-d, and an egg, figuratively speaking, that will not try to discard the seed as both do stem from one and the same body, the perfect unison of body, mind and soul, of male and female into one as the One, even in nature, above and below one whole?
In a certain way, we could thus argue that we become born eventually, while we for certain will die once again so to live anew, a recurring process till we achieve the highest spiritual level. Nevertheless, this will have to be seen through a completely different point of focus, and based on the level of spirituality that we will have achieved. The in-between, between dead and life after having lived, sits them for the moment still in a kind of twilight zone. It’s something we can't see, but can feel when we would try to concentrate our attention to it in a more focused way of perception. Its existence is omnipresent in all of us, in every life, even when we in body through the eyes of nature seem unable to catch even the slightest glimpse of it with our sight. Anyhow, it’s a presence no matter the reality that our eyes, mouth and ears do present to us, namely creating the logical assumption of a possible unreality instead, of G-d who would have to be non-existent as the outcome that such a kind of vision would generate as well. The illogical reasoning within our logical assumption based on what we do know today goes beyond our day-to-day comprehension. This is at least the case within the state of mind we lived, and in a certain way still do live whether occasionally, or in full force depending on the way we have been taught into the matter, or that lessons concerning its wisdom have been neglected widespread for decades, maybe even centuries due to unjustified constraints and above all taboos, and even persecution, prejudices as well as discrimination in the same likeness of what the Hebrew forefathers of the Jewish people have witnessed in Egypt and beyond till today.
So yes, we can feel it when we want it, when we give it its well deserved attention. But to belief, we will need to go beyond the concept of time related matter. In a certain way, we would have to go faster than the speed of light. We need a speed that would make any material and us invisible to the eye of sight, or even life so that we can come to a statutory moment/orbit in time where time and even space is non-existent, wherein we can come to understand the other world much better through its ‘visualization’, through our spiritual sight that is, even when the world around us keeps moving on, a Sabbatical impression/impregnation within our lives, our soul and mind. And that’s a very interesting point of view, of angle to the concept because it will tell us that human life has already been a presence within G-d's world long before there was a presence of human life on the planet we do live on today and before this day, namely on the planet Earth of this solar system. There is thus clearly much more to be revealed regarding the meaning, the essence of life than just simply life itself in a presence of time and space. Life is much more than merely a time related matter because it’s in reality a timeless fact, an evolution in both nature and spirit as one, and indivisible. It’s a visible presence while at the same time having an invisible parallel life. We can touch it with our hands and see it with our sight, even taste its delights with our mouth and hear the wonders of its sound. But at the same time could it generate in ourselves the inability of witnessing, of feeling the presence of a world beyond the one we can visualize unless it feels that we are worth it, and it makes us equal to its feeling, makes us fully in its likeness in a manner of speaking.
What we know and are aware of is thus largely the basis whereupon we build, construct our future, and with ours, all other life as well. However, there is quite a lot that we don't know much about, or even nothing. We are in search for its meaning, its essence, of how it can enrich us all. It entice us to look beyond our present realm, to look even deeper into ourselves, to look beyond the horizon, and find the answer, the clue to its mystery, even maybe solution to a certain present problem that seemed unbridgeable for the time being. Yes, it creates a kind of situation whereas we can only go up one level once we solved the puzzle of the previous one. And we are free to play along, or reject the hand which is reaching out to every one of us, to save us from falling within the abyss of our ego. This seems as being perhaps a very simplistic analysis, but it nevertheless has been so since our search in who we are and where we came from. The world of man has always divided itself between two kind of seekers, namely those who wanted to find ways of energizing an altruistic world of personalities while others were merely only looking for strengthening their very own ego so to empower their very personal selfish ideology. Anyhow, the very essence of our existence means not only in that we do find the depth of our inner self, and would do something valuable with the outcome of the result and/or to blame one or the other, but above all in finding ways to bring both worlds of seekers closer to each other till only one community predominate the scenery, living solely by the goodness, the beauty out of both worlds, not their faults or shortcomings. And this through the example of the world above of where the Torah does speak in length about.
Therefore, the outcome of the above gives us a clear picture of a kind of everlasting yearning, tutoring, learning and comprehending the matter studied till everything that isn't known to man becomes known, and above all understood correctly. It turns the seemingly emptiness of our birth into something worthwhile to live for, and by it, revealing that our birth wasn't empty of substance, then full of wondrous knowledge waiting to be revealed. On the other hand can our decision(s) bring us into a state of emptiness on the time of our passing away when we would have chosen to neglect the very essence, the opportunity given to everyone on his/her very first intake of a breath of air. The same goes for those who would have chosen to misuse the knowledge. After all, every man has the ability to differentiate between right and wrong, between good and evil. He has the choice between using what he knows for the right cause or the wrong one, to do good or to worship evil with it. He can abolish evil or empower it. Yes, man can truly progress and evolve, or only imagine that he does so while in reality doing nothing of a kind at all till he falls prey to his own evilness, to his own wrong he refused to admit adamantly. As a result, we can say that the power of dead lays within our hands, or go by the saying that the richness of life, not the world, lays within everyone's capabilities and talents. We all have the freedom to empower ourselves with honesty, dignity and respect, or enslave us with inhumanity, lawlessness and selfishness. We can bring and give, enrich and enlighten our life, even lengthen it, as well as that of others, or cause our dead to await us sooner than expected behind the next corner, even the one of our neighbor or colleague at work.
But, even when man has a free choice to bring forth life or to kill it, he must be aware that he truly can bring life to dead, that he can bring the dead to life. He can abolish dead so to speak. We all have this ability, the source within us to empower life, and abolish the culture of dead everywhere, a culture that emanated out of man's refusal to acknowledge his wrong, or ignorance about G-d and His true nature. This matter of reality became, is, and will thus be everlasting an essence that serves as a basis whereupon we can build our future, Judaism through Adom of the Garden in this case and Noachism for the gentile. However, to realize such a major endeavor worldwide, we need to put aside our fear for what may come instead of letting us become imprisoned by the constraints a world related to time does put us all into if we let it overpower our thoughts and minds, even body. We may not let time make us nuts, drive us crazy in a manner of speaking, even when it's five minutes before twelve o' clock. We may not let it enslave us into a time is money vision, into a client wants it within a quarter of an hour and you are a half hour drive away from that same client. Life is precious, and we should never endanger a person's life out of an egoistic desire that makes from a person a dispensable object rather than a valuable resource of enrichment, of enlightenment. The client isn't served well when the one who is send to him/her dies in an accident, and the letter or package will even come much later than within an half hour, maybe even only the next day, or not at all if the accident could have caused the destruction of the delivery.
And there is beside all of this of course also the Big Bang theory, the theory as our starting point to every form of life. But, every theory comes with a bang because it disturbs our present perception, sometimes even reality. And some theories have been proven right while others not quite as right as we hoped it would be, or completely wrong, an imagination. Still, it's not wrong to present them to the world entire, to bring them forward for man is a seeker of knowledge. For the man who lives by goodness, knowledge is regarded as an elementary richness, and not power, wherewith he will become in the ability to progress, and bring his entire house, community, even nation, or yes our world community into the next level. Man cannot solve problems, or progress/evolve without first entering the room of knowledge and theories within a mind set of regarding it as a richness rather than power because if he chooses the latter, then he will not move one inch forward, on the contrary. It's thus even wrong to ignore finding a plausible solution to that Big Bang, as it's regarded as being the cradle of all life wherever it may reside. Once we solve that theory, then we will have made a giant leap forward in our research about what surrounds the mystery of all forms of life. Saying that we can't solve it because it's the beginning of all life is rather putting our head into the sand like an ostrich because we by doing so are already making a major mistake by assuming it to be the beginning, a point where man cannot go searching for answers as he is told that he can't move beyond that point in his search for them. However, these answers do lay beyond that point because in G-d's world, there is no beginning and no ending, no Alpha and no Omega. His world is infinite. If the Big Bang would have been the beginning, then we wouldn't have an infinite universe, but a universe that has a starting point and an end point, meaning that life began, and all life will come to an end one day, all life that is. But what if what we regard as the Big Bang could have been the merger between male and female which resulted in the birth of a child?
The world was void. Darkness ruled the world. It was empty. The womb was void of any substance. A great light (the female egg) emerged together with a tiny one (the male seed). And darkness became light, even more light entered the womb, stars (the egg that began dividing itself into cells) were put onto the firmament. But the earth (womb) was still void of any concrete substance. Afterwards, land emerged and the cells began forming the beginning of a body. There were the waters beneath it, namely the oceans, the rivers, and above it in the form of heavens (blood began to flow). It started to create all kinds of needs like eyes, nose, mouth, ears, arms, legs, organs, .. (valleys, mountains, plains and volcano, lava). It will even have no shortage of food as the womb's umbilical cord will supply it with the needs necessary. It is given the authority to eat from every green herb, fruit and vegetable, but not from the tree in the middle of the Garden, the umbilical cord within the womb for it will otherwise die, even within the womb. Finally the day arrived for the birth of a new beginning, and adom became born. And we could write within a same kind of thought about the Big Bang as a new universe that became born out of the womb of another one, as there was darkness and the world was void till the moment came when the one universe gave birth to the new emerging one out of an 'explosion', a nuclear fusion of male and female into a oneness rather than a nuclear explosion that would have divided both away from each other because the one creates life while the other kills it, the choice between life and dead. And G-d chooses always in His freedom the side of life, never dead, even when this statement seems to contradict what the Torah seemingly tries to reveal to us all. After all, the sign of David, the Jewish Star of David is the symbol of this merger between male and female into one being, Adom in the likeness of G-d, male and female, Adom with his Chava, his soul thus.
But the most important questions for everyone to ask regarding all life will always be these ones: What will you in your freedom of choice choose? Will it be life or dead? Will it be preservation of every form of life out of altruism, or overpopulation out of the ego, and the dead of many forms of innocent life?
We have the choice to choose, but not the time to waste, nor to hasten our decision without giving a possible solution the opportunity to become a full grown and healthy pregnancy that will save the life within (the Garden of Eden), as well as the one that it intends to save with it without (the world we live in), above and below, male and female, the Star of David and its yet unborn child at the center.
