Face of the Deep

When you look upon the face of the deep; whether in our own earthly waters or those that we refer to as space; it is impossible to remain unchanged. What you view and what you see when you look through the looking glass to what lays on the other side will irrevocably change your life forever. They are mirror images; one going forever inward and one going forever outward; with currents and cross-currents that we fail to fully understand; and we lack the technology to scour the deeps for that understanding to cross the threshold that needs to be crossed.

But what if evil rests in the deep? What if the viewing of certain parts of the deep caused evil to take root in man and that all of our foibles, etc. stem from the simple act of viewing a malevolent force which we never expected to encounter? Think of it as opening Pandora's Box. Curiousity begged us to look inside even though we were warned of the danger and expressly told not to do so. As we viewed the inside, we realized a deeper, more powerful truth that we weren't ready to face and in that hour of truth, we formed a new truth based on it. That truth is functional, yet extremely limited and is not the pure truth.

It remains truth uncompleted; truth cut off in mid-viewing. Truth seeking to be completed yet never finding purchase upon mankind for the truth that they have taken in hand from the initial viewing and basing all other things on that incomplete truth. It would shake the very foundations of the world we created for that truth to be completed and people now fear the crumbling of the faulty world they've come to know.

This is the deep within ourselves. It moves as surely as the waters move; as surely as space moves. It moves within us, defining us in ways we can't know or see or fully understand so long as we put constraints on our thoughts. It has personality; so why should we assume that the deep of the ocean and the deep of space don't also have personality? Perhaps they are prone to mood-changes the same as we are and perhaps that is why they seem random.

Do not fear the deeps; whether they are of your own mind, the waters upon the earth, or the very space that surrounds everything. There are scary and terrifying things in the deep, and they should definitely be avoided until one is able to see them for what they are; but there are great and awesome things there as well; things you will never know about or view if you allow fear to stop you from viewing.

Never be so afraid of what might happen that you cease looking entirely. Take it in small steps and don't rush; be the pioneer, savoring the adventure and each step of the journey; look at everything as if it were new and profound and as if it might hold possible danger. Prepare yourself and be ready, but also be ready for beauty and things never witnessed before.

Our minds are as inward and expansive as the space that rests outside of this planet and encompasses everything. There is so much to explore; so much that is limited by our very 'truths' that remain incomplete; and you will never know until you let go of those truths and search for new ones, better ones that make more sense.
