What does it really mean to be a human being?
On a purely molecular level we are predominantly a collection of oxygen and finely constructed carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, and many more elements. We are elemental in design and flavour.
We are a compacted gathering of atoms and sub-atomic particles. Physicists now widely believe that an atom is made up of 99.999999% space. So it means that we are more space than we are matter. Physicists are also now hypothesising that it is space that defines matter and not matter that defines space.
So what does that mean anyway that we are ‘mostly space’? Maybe that will mean nothing to you. To me it means everything. It means that I am a space or a vacuum of potential. Many of us already know that we are 93% stardust – a hologram of our previous incarnation as part of a star system. Or at least our atomic structure remembers that we were a star, or perhaps part of a black hole, or riding on the back of a gravitational wave. Either way we are not just random skin and bones plopped haphazardly onto the planet.
Apparently 97% of our DNA consists of material that does not contain the information of our hereditary make-up. Scientists believe they may have overlooked substantial chunks of DNA in the genome sequencing to date. They are calling it ‘Dark DNA’ because it has been hidden and not been detailed so far.
So there are massive gaps or bridges in our DNA that nobody knows what they are for or how they got there, or if they have always been there. When you have delved into your spiritual back story many of us already know that we have had hundreds and thousands of incarnations and that some of those incarnations were not human, that we were star-beings or perhaps even an atom that made up a far flung galaxy billions of light years away. Everything is just a collection of atoms and particles anyway, no matter where we end up.
Gaps of Potentiality
For me this information means that there are titanic gaps of potentiality written in a secret code in my DNA sequencing that has absolutely nothing to do with who I have always thought I am. To me it means confirmation of infinite freedom and liberation, there is nothing here that is written in blood. I am free to decide who I want to be. Of course this is often where the real work begins.
“Who do we want to be?”
“What do we want to contribute to the planet?”
“If I were truly free what would I do with my time, love and energy?”
The only limits that I have or that we have are the ones we place on ourselves. We only use a small proportion of our brains and the potential for more whole brain intelligence is staggering. As a species we have untold potential to ascend further than we ever have done and certainly more than we have been led to believe. But we must decide whether we choose life or an apathy that leads to destruction both on a personal level and on a planetary level.
Many of us talk about taking up space in the world and of course we mean this on a purely emotional level, that we long to be seen and heard and to really own our space. But in this pure potential of mainly space, we are taking up more space than our limited minds can possibly ever imagine. We are space and only a tiny, minute percentage of matter. We actually cannot NOT take up space.
Many people talk about ‘going with the flow’ – it has become a buzz word, almost a colloquialism. A modern fable of a life that we somehow don’t really have to lift a finger, that if ‘we go with the flow’ then life will just magically produce all of our dreams on a star-filled platter. Like you can sit on the same bench at the same time everyday and miraculously the man or woman of your dreams will just saunter by declare their love and then you will make plans for the rest of your lives together. Then the next day at the same time, on the same bench someone will waft by and offer you their fortune and their fifteen bedroom mansion and five sports cars for no other reason than just because. Of course I’m being facetious but it’s amazing that the rudiments of this are actually not that far from some people’s wish system. They don’t actually want to do anything but hope they get everything they want in return.
Of course I’m not saying synchronicities don’t happen – they have definitely happened to me and I’m sure they have happened to you. The points in life when something does just happen fairly effortlessly but if you look closely enough it has usually preceded a period of letting go, or after releasing a big piece of emotional heft that desperately needed clearing. Something usually went before it. Some degree of emotional furniture arranging took place – it was not just by chance.
What many don’t realise is that to really ‘go with the flow’ we have to become ‘superconductors’ which basically means we have no resistance to the flow of energy. That to create optimal health we need spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies that are ‘superconductors’ to the flow of cosmic energy coming into us from the universe. Most people, especially if they haven’t done that much work on themselves, are filled with a galaxy of emotional, mental and spiritual blocks that will not allow anything to flow through it. You can’t roll a boulder uphill!
I also feel that a lot of people are terrified to make changes in their lives and so they carry on doing the same things over and over, yet expecting different results, thinking the same limited thoughts and disregarding their bodies and their minds all the while hoping that life will just bring them everything they need. It doesn’t work like that. I believe the universe and everything in it is self-referential, it is learning about itself through us. So we need to have a grasp on how our environment communicates to us and as with the science of epigenetics we have to have awareness of what switches off and on those genes that allow us not just to survive but to actually thrive and be liberated. Those gaps of potentiality are waiting for us to fill them.
There are many, many things that switch off our ability to successfully move forward and be clear conduits – stress and all manner of emotional boulders usually being the first, closely followed by the photon building properties of the foods we eat. Photons are a quantum of light and the more naturally close to nature we eat our foods, the more the photons from the sun have penetrated our foods as it has with all raw and uncooked foods. Then the more light or biophotons we have in our cells can then transform and transmute enough electrical conductivity to produce health and longevity. Our cells can gather light from the universe and within our own biology to become a catalyst for growth and change. If you smoke, drink, eat tons of denatured foods like sugar, cakes, fried food, breads etc then our cells become clogged and lose their ability to hold light. The minute you cook anything, the biophoton availability is mostly completely lost. Our cells then lose the ability to replicate and our telomeres, which are the end caps of our chromosomes, then shorten and entropy beyond repair. We actually have a lot of control over what will determine our health just by choosing what we allow into our bodies. And subsequently what emotional states we allow to enter or leave our bodies can also be the deciding factor in true holistic health.
So ‘going with the flow’ is actually not the easy walk in the park that some make it out to be. It can often involve a lot of work behind the scenes to become that clear channel we seek, to become that ‘superconductor’ of life energy. To truly go with the flow we need to go deeper and look at our fear and stuckness because if we are not doing any action to achieve our dreams then it’s highly unlikely the flow is going to happen. If you feel stuck in your life and you are not doing anything to get out of this, then unfortunately you will create more of the same. If we are not creating then we are living within a slow drone of desperation, a subtle boredom where our hearts, souls and minds are not ignited in the ways that are potentially possible.
It is our divine right to create. The universe gets to know itself intimately through our creations and in the myriad ways we human beings express our light. What would you like your gaps of potentiality to contain? Who do you want to be? What do you want to contribute to the world? How do you want to show up in the world and how do you want to flow? We are so much more than just a storybook of the life we’ve already had. What about the life waiting in the wings for us? The life we can step into that is not based on the limited views of ourselves, of others or society? The potential is in our DNA – it is in our grasp.
