“The one thing that connects all things at all scales: space.”

Didn’t I just mention that many physicists think we are more nothing than something?
Well anyone familiar with chronic pain can tell you that it sure doesn’t feel that way.
What was that ‘importance of pain’ quote from the movie “G.I. Jane?”
“Master Chief John Urgayle:
Pain is your friend, your ally, it will tell you when you are seriously injured, it will keep you awake and angry, and remind you to finish the job and get the hell home. But you know the best thing about pain?Lt. Jordan O’Neil:
Don’t know!Master Chief John Urgayle:
It lets you know you’re not dead yet!”
So being ‘a whole lot of nothing’ and still feeling the weight of intense pain (physical, mental, emotional), evidently has a function in this life. “It lets you know you aren’t dead yet.”
That’s likely more hyperbole than fact, but the point is still clear: If you are in the Earth-plane zone, PAIN is an aspect of your existence—whether you are substantive or not.
You FEEL, therefore you ARE, which is likely the point of our being here at this time—to FEEL what it means to be ALIVE, not just to theorize on the prospect of ‘aliveness’ from a higher-consciousness zone like Spirit World itself.
I must admit that many aspects of this ‘earthly-world training ground’ do perplex me—like the ‘true intentions’ behind the actions and repercussions of existing here in this earthly dimension where PAIN is so prevalent everywhere.
It isn’t that being here is such a piece of cake for the majority of people living at this time on Earth; it’s more so that ‘someone somewhere’ in the Higher Echelons of Spirit believes that we, in ‘earth-plane zone,’ all need to struggle to survive for us to build our character and consciousness away from brutal action/reactivity behaviors toward more compassionate non-violence.
And I’m not sure we are winning that battle for higher-consciousness training at this point in history.
Personally I can easily feel intense compassion for victims of any conflict anywhere, but for the perpetrators of such blatant havoc, devastation, and cruelty, “compassion” isn’t exactly what I am feeling toward them.
But as the Master Chief said above to Lt. Jordon O’Neil: “Pain is your friend, your ally, it will tell you when you are seriously injured, it will keep you awake and angry, and remind you to finish the job and get the hell home…”
So I guess if enduring the pains of Earth-plane zone have any real value at all, it is definitely in making us better appreciate the less-painful aspects of this world’s existence as we “…finish the job…” here; and in helping us to look forward to returning back to our ethereal Spirit World home from where we originated.
There, ‘nothingness’ is actually something significant when you are in a higher dimension of existence; and lower-frequency worlds have lower-frequency consequences when you are visiting them—like we presently ALL are.
So as we gather to celebrate our ’99.99% nothingness-space,’ let’s also celebrate our capacity for kindness toward others.
PAIN is as real as WE are in this world. Let’s try to eliminate as much of it as we can for ourselves and for all others.
