YourSelf and the Fabric of the Universe
Tao of Yummi, Sutra 21, Microsutra 2/6
Authentic Self, authentic Self…what do you hear? That’s the music of the Universe, resonating in your ear.
What’s the music of the Universe? It’s the collection of sounds and activity created by every type of sound and activity unfolding, all the time, at levels you can hear, as well as levels you cannot — an interwoven fabric. It never stops. Neither do you. You continue to unfold and grow more and more into yourSelf.
You are an essential part of the fabric of the Universe. Just as you move through the Universe, it moves through you, interwoven into a fabric. Sound is only one dimension of this fabric. Just as sound waves move through your ear canal and make skin, fluid and bones vibrate and resonate to create signals and value for the one who listens…you move through the music of Universe, resonating and creating value as well.
Music isn’t only for those who hear it. It’s a vibration that can be felt — as well as part of the story that is told. If we read a story about the morning-time, the sound of birdsong plays a role as valid the rising of the sun — without a bird to sing or a sun to shine.
What if the sound of the water cooler burble didn’t exist? You might think we can do without the burbling of the cooler…but what if the sound of birdsong didn’t exist? Burbling’s part of the fabric of the Universe just as much as the sound of birdsong. You are an essential part of the fabric as well — and being part of the fabric, you are the fabric. You and the Universe unfold together. Your authentic nature is to create value. You can choose to struggle against your authentic nature, or embrace it and live into purpose.
