I was recently in a conversation about population control, wherein some espoused that the current pandemic and past plagues were actually “good” things in culling the over-population, while others made a stand for there being enough open land to feed and house several billion more people.
For my own answer, I reflected on what I consider the original point of Creation; the one thought that has given rise to the billions of ways to find the route back to it.
On this roundish globe there are many roads that, if each of us is given his or her free reign, I believe, will circle us back to that point of origin in the journey that is the lesson each of us is intended to learn.
In the process of both self and group enrichment, the point of Creation has been that we are destined to break apart in order to find the pieces that will, ultimately, bring us back together.
That new wholeness will be the fulfillment of the Creator’s Primal Directive…to share.
It is the point of the All, both pre and post of what we call the Big Bang, to share existence, together…in unity.
The trick is learning to use our Free Wills to do that, wisely and respectfully.
And, the promise of approaching our personal roads with the practice of sharing is that our paths will become clearer, more interesting and more rewarding.
So, it’s not so much about worrying how many of us will show up for the party as it is about making sure everyone who does will have a good time.
