Life functions in a sphere of the known and the unknown. There are corners to everything that we can’t see around. There is day and there is night. There are tomorrows and there are yesterdays, there is the beginning of a journey and there is the end. We are exposed to experiences that our senses and consciousness allow us to appreciate and yet the majority of our reality is unknown and unseen. Our reality seems to make sense to us but only to an extent. We ponder about all those whys and sometimes wonder at the magnitude of it all. Despite all that is missing from the picture it all still makes sense. The picture of our reality is consistent. It could not be any other way. An inconsistent reality is not conceivable. There have to be other realities but for that to be apparent to us we would have to be able to be a part of them. The fact that we are not able to be a part of these other realities is not an indictment in itself and does not suggest that the small fraction that we see does not make sense. This unseen “dark matter” is actually the most important part of our existence. It exists; and even though we may never be able to understand much about the unseen environment it somehow validates the aspect of life that we can see and appreciate.
If we appreciate this “dark matter” as a part of our present reality we will enhance our appreciation of this reality. We will realize immediately that death is a form of birth. We will also realize that we all are a form of energy really like a beam of light that has always existed. It traverses the universe and illuminates all in its path for a moment and then moves on. Others can only be aware of the light when they fall within the reach of the beam and are illuminated. When it passes it has not died. It continues to strike a path and illuminate others. Sometimes we stop and wonder about the origins of this light. When did it first appear and how long did it travel before it reached us?
