Higgs

The Higgs Boson… Can you imagine the magnitude of this finding?  Like most people, including myself, probably not. Physicists are on the hunt for this tiny piece of a proton. What does finding a particle smaller than a Quark, which is smaller than a proton going to do for humanity? I too responded in a knee jerk manner feeling… “Why don’t scientific research efforts focus on Aids or Cancer?” But the Higgs is said to be the particle force that is responsible for the joining together of all matter. You know, the “thing” that connects everything? This is the exact notion that so many of us are unable to accept through streams of philosophy and religion. Well here you go existentialists! That includes me. In short this effort proves the sheer fact that through science true spirituality is found. The idea that it is not up to my preconceived notions that separation exists, but a scientific fact that there is no space in the universe, there is no you, no me, there just is. If I can truly understand that concept, imagine the possibilities? I for whatever reason find solace in facts beyond my understanding. It’s the idea that I must grow, and that what I see or feel is simply not the whole truth, if any truth at all really. What I feel can be so deeply is in cross with true nature. I must be ok with that… more than ok! In essence it is a true understanding of suffering and the ability for the human species to go beyond our suffering. It simply doesn’t end with us. Either way we will learn this, whether we make it to the next 30 years or not. I suppose that is why such a huge majority accepts Armageddon with bliss. But don’t you think it would be great to build on what we have than to scratch it all and start things over again? Be it as it may, starting over again might be inevitable, but I think we should be training our souls to sustain not scrap it all, since it is clear that sustain is what the universe does at any rate. There seems to be a split in humanity over this general objective. Should I divorce or fix the relationship? Should I change careers or persevere?  Does God want me here? Am I where I really want to be or should be? I suppose that is the question… Does one ever really accept where they are? And I mean truly accepting their place in the cosmos by loving the path that every experience breeds as a choice that can grow into beautiful things. Going back to the Higgs, this finding really makes the question of why unquestionable. We are connected and thus the life and universe. The Higgs Boson frauds the Nihilistic notion of meaninglessness in an understanding of oneness! It is simply our job as sentient beings to understand this truth, understanding well beyond us. I am thankful for this path. But are we willed and determined enough for this discovery? We must.
