Roll Over Galileo

Ok, I have got to ask, in the interest of a larger view of design that we all relate to:

Does the Sun rotate around the Earth or the Earth around the Sun?

Wait now….

Before you decide to answer this basic and simple question, we need to step into our own range of perspective…that is, what we know for a fact and not what we imagine nor what we have just been told.  Something that we know is something that one can feel from the inside, from the core so to speak. Would this not be a way of taking an inventory of what we really know and those things that we just subscribe to?  This might just be another way of understanding what perspective means.

If we move beyond the lip service of what we have been told and what we experience on Earth, the actuality of the experience feels at odds with the teaching does it not? Do we in fact experience that or do we feel that we are the center of the universe?

This interesting question has well over a span of 2000 years bothered mankind.  Why? In one sense we might say because of our adherence to the thought that those common occurrences that are seemingly predictable to some extent are taken for granted and thus are relegated to the unimportant in our lives. What we want is to really be stirred up by something uncommon! That is what brings the juices to the centering of our lives!

What if the Sun were to rise and fall in an unpredictable way, that is appear for 4 hours then rotate out of sight, and the following day be visible for 10 hours, then something else happened that it did not show for 3 days…do we think we would be interested in what was happening out there?

What would happen without the Sun's light? Hmmm.

So just saying this daily phenomena was really on the Greeks mind before 300 BC  and documented by the words and writing of one we knew as Aristarchus of Samos in around 200 B.C. whose theory of a heliocentric universe was downtrodden by those about him as being impious and not having common sense.

As the thread of this truth was not ready to be accepted by the scholars of the day, it followed a path of obscurity until Copernicus revived the thought in the 1500’s. It would seem also that Copernicus understood that these theories would not be accepted by his colleagues and community, so it is supposed that he did not publish his findings until close to his time of death.

It took until Galileo’s time for his willingness to perceive that the idea of a heliocentric solar system was within his range of perspective to profess.  How great was that for the world as a whole? 

And of course they convicted him of heresy and imprisoned him to house arrest to the rest of his life!

Is there any wonder why as a group of people living during anytime in history, we don’t want to use our individual creative perspective?

The world has a way of not responding to the real use of creative thought because it feels threatened and challenged by those things that shake the foundational assumptions with which it operates!

Yet we have the innate ability to really use creative thought each one of us individually!

What would the world look like if we chose to not just pay lip service to that thought but in fact utilized it to the fullness of the capability of each our own perspective? (Remember that perspective has to do with the interrelatedness of the facts and not the supposed accepted theories of the day).

Stay tuned! Maybe we may not be put in jail, but if we were, would that change the real truth of things or just try and hide it for the next generation to deal with?
