We melt the sand into silicon wafers for computing, we mix the sand to build beautiful buildings, we create rocks to our own liking that keep our feet from getting muddy… the only thing the sand does is obey its own physical properties. It would do us well to obey the properties we encounter so well. However the appreciation belongs to the mind and referring the created matter to the creator. This is the essence of enlightenment. I consider myself in an awakening state and consider creation a tool of enlightenment to be conformed. I don’t take cotton and glue it to my skin, I pick it, clean it, turn it into shapes and colors that please me then wear it. That is the creator speaking also.

What caused the sand to exist? And what function does it provide to the world, or our experience? The problem that humans have, is they mistakeably believe they are the superior beings on earth. When in truth, all of nature tolerates us and is waiting on us to awaken.
Simply go to the forest and sit quitely and see how they exist. Have you ever seen a bird sitting, fussing, or fighting over which branch to fly to next? You do not put the sand to work, it is there to help you better understand the truth. It expresses itslef quite well, if you stop and watch it.

The sand does not put me to use or describe me…If the intelligence is in the sand, I have done a poor job of interpreting it, or it has done a poor job of expressing itself…

It certainly surprised me when I first became aware of it. Yet if you mesh into the being of any matter you find it filled with bliss and delight at it’s place in the universe. The grain of sand is more aware them most of us humans.

Matter is not a solid substance as most think. It is simply, put in human language, an energy, that appears, then not, then reappears. It is the heart beat of the one source of all that is. We are living, or better put experiencing life within God’s Body. The world, the creator’s body, seems like an enormous place. But it is really only as large as our individual perception. Nothing really exists outside of our own perception, other than what we are told by others.
The question is, who are these others, and who really has created them? Row, Row, Row Your Boat Gently Down The Stream. Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life Is But A Dream.
