Life Is a Spiral not a Straight Line

Most people live their lives from within a limited framework.

They first of all have a life that is defined by space and time.

People believe time and space to be linear in nature.

They understand their lives in terms of a beginning and an ending.

People usually see themselves and their life as somewhere along a line somewhere between the beginning and the end.

When young they are nearer the beginning and when they are old the nearer the end. We begin with birth and end with death.

This perception of time leads us to see our life as a succession of events. Our life becomes a series of occurrences that we anticipate in the future, which then come to us in the present, finally to recede into the past. We see our life as a timeline.

The reality is that straight lines only exist from a limited point of view. We must not mistake the map for the reality.

The truth is that the earth we live on is spherical. It circles the sun. We cannot in reality draw a straight line. It only looks like a straight line as we view it from our perspective standing on the earth. All lines must in reality be part of a circular motion.

So, a line only looks straight when view from a limited perspective. In fact, the buildings that we work so hard to make strong and straight are part of the arc of the circle of the earth's surface.

The truth is that the whole natural movement of the universe is spiralic. The fundamental movement of the earth is that of a moving circle or a spiral. The moon circles the earth, the earth circles the sun, the sun circles in a spiralling galaxy.

Our cosmic, unlimited and divine consciousness can only emerge when we experience the spiralic movement of the universe. As long as we are locked into a linear perspective, our universe will be limited.

Linearity is a function of limitation. There is no such thing as a never ending straight line. The spiral functions into infinity. 

We are forever beings and our life as many beginnings and many endings as we spiral through the multi-universe of the Now. Our life is truly marvellous when we break out of the shackles of a linear universe.
