Something from nothing?

What is your idea of what happened before the Big Bang (BB)? I am referring to this beautiful Universe of us.

I have been reading quite a bit about this. One scientist said, “to ask what was before the BB is like asking what is north of the North Pole.” It is a question without an answer.

I prefer the statements made by Sean Carroll, a cosmologist and physics professor at the California Institute of Technology in this regard: “We just don’t know! That point in time when the BB started is the end of our knowledge.” The reason for this statement is that scientists don’t have the technology to prove anything else beyond this point.

Other scientists say the BB was not the beginning. Our universe started out of a black hole of a previous universe. Who knows? No one could yet prove it.  The point I want to make is that we CAN accept that we don’t have all the answers. Not in the BB case and not in everyday matters.

Is this not true of each new study, experience, emotion or inter-personal relationship? 

If we are willing to say we don’t have all the answers, is it not a bit like magic/wonder when something great is coming from it?

In our marriage, work, or play we mix our unique characteristics with the “the thing.” It is like having black coffee and then slowly you stir cream into it. It is two very different ingredients that combine into one tasty outcome. The two ingredients give us something new and special. (Yum, I love coffee and cream!)

 Instead of wrestling with questions we cannot answer to anyone’s satisfaction, why not use what we have inside of us to create something new that did not exist before. You mix the totally of you, with the object, say, of being a member of a club. This is better than creating art. It is in the realm of wonder/magic. Your mixed “potion” will be unique.

I dare you… create something wondrous. With you as the main ingredient. What will you get? I bet it will be something special in a very good way. Stop asking questions that can’t be answered.

These questions are a block between you and something spectacular.

Even if it blows up (BB) it can still shake your universe and secure a beautiful outcome.

I experienced that after my first husband died. My universe was shaken to its core. It was my black hole. Then I took the “cards”  and with it, I created a new life for me and my two boys. It is better than before.

From experience, I can say be open and let it happen.
