The Big Bang is taught as the scientific explanation for how all of the Universe was created. If we go far back enough, we can trace everything around us to the basic building blocks that emerged from that initial infinitesimal point of potentiality.
And yet, there is a more profound meaning to this event than the sterile perspective science presents us. In that moment before the Universe exploded from nothing, in that tiny space, existed every possibility of Life. And all of it was the same vibrant energy that coalesced into hydrogen, helium, oxygen and nitrogen atoms, which eventually became the foundation for every phenomenon in the Universe. As the Taoists say, “From the One came Two, and from the Two came the 10,000 Things.”
We are descendants of this ancient original event. We inherit the miracle that was the Big Bang.
We are the unique fulfillment of a possibility born eons ago.
