WHAT IS GOING ON OUR LIFE?

 

                         

                                 THE GOD'S SCRIPT 

                                                 👀

                      👉❤     THE MATTER ITSELF, OF WHICH THE UNIVERSE DOTH CONSISTS, IS OF ITSELF VERY TRACTABLE AND PLIABLE. THAT RATIONAL ESSENCE THAT DOTH GOVERN IT, HATH IN ITSELF NO CAUSE TO DO EVIL. IT HAS NO EVIL IN ITSELF, NEITHER CAN IT DO ANYTHING THAT IS EVIL. NEITHER CAN ANYTHING BE HURT BY IT. AND ALL THINGS ARE DONE AND DETERMINED ACCORDING TO ITS WILL AND PRESCRIPT.

                       👉❤   BE IT ALL ONE UNTO THEE, WHETHER HALF FROZEN OR WELL WARM, WHETHER ONLY SLUMBERING, OR AFTER A FULL SLEEP, WHETHER DISCOMMENDED OR COMMENDED THOU DO THEY THY DUTY, OR WHETHER DYING OR DOING SOMEWHAT ELSE, FOR THAT ALSO "DO DIE", MUST AMONG THE REST BE RECKONED AS ONE OF THE DUTIES AND ACTIONS OF OUR LIVES.

                      👉❤         LOOK IN, LET NOT EITHER THE PROPER QUALITY, OR THE TRUE WORTH OF ANYTHIG PASS THEE, BEFORE THOU HAST FULLY APPREHENDED IT.

                     👉❤      ALL SUBSTANCES COME SOON TO THEIR CHANGED, AND EITHER THEY SHALL BE RESOLVED BY WAY OF EXHALATION (IF SO BE THAT ALL THINGS SHALL BE REUNITED INTO ONE SUBSTANCE), OR AS OTHERS MAINTAIN, THEY SHALL BE SCATTERED AND DISPERSED. AS FOR THE RATIONAL ESSENCE BY WHICH ALL THINGS ARE GOVERNED, AS IT BEST UNDERSTANDETH ITSELF, BOTH ITS OWN DISPOSITION, AND WHAT IT DOTH, AND WHAT MATTER IT HATH TO DO WITH AND ACCORDINGLY DOTH ALL THINGS, SO WE THAT DO NOT, NO WONDER, IF WE WONDER AT MANY THINGS, THE REASONS WHEREOF WE CANNOT COMPREHEND.

                      👉❤        THE BEST KIND OF REVENGE IS, NOT TO BECOME LIKE UNTO HIM.

                      👉❤      LET THIS BE THY ONLY JOY, AND THY ONLY COMFORT, FROM ONE SOCIABLE KIND ACTION WITHOUT INTERMISSION TO PASS UNTO ANOTHER, GOD BEING EVER IN THY MIND. 

   

                      👉❤    THE RATIONAL COMMANDING PART, AS IT ALONE CAN STIR UP AND TURN ITSELF, SO IT MAKETH BOTH ITSELF TO BE, AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENETH, TO APPEAR UNTO ITSELF, AS IT WILL ITSELF.

                      👉❤   ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE ALL THINGS PARTICULAR ARE DETERMINED, NOT ACCORDING TO ANY OTHER NATURE, EITHER ABOUT COMPARRING AND CONTAINING, OR WITHIN, DISPERSED AND CONTAINED, OR WITHOUT, DEPENDING, EITHER THIS UNIVERSE IS A MERE CONFUSED MASS, AND AN INTRICATE CONTEXT OF THINGS, WHICH SHALL IN TIME BE SCATTERED AND DISPERSED AGAIN, OR IT IS AN UNION CONSISTING OF ORDER, AND ADMINISTERED BY PROVIDENCE. IF THE FIRST, WHY SHOULD I DESIRE TO CONTINUE ANY LONGER ON THIS FORTUIT CONFUSION AND COMMIXTION? OR WHY SHOULD I TAKE CARE FOR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT THAT AS SOON AS MAY BE I MAY BE EARTH AGAIN? AND WHY SHOULD I TROUBLE MYSELF ANY MORE WHILST I SEEK TO PLEASE THE GODS? WHATSOEVER I DO, DISPERSION IS MY END, AND WILL COME UPON ME WHETHER I WILL OR NOT. BUT IF THE LATTER BE, THEN AM NOT I RELIGIOUS IN VAIN, THEN WILL I BE QUIET AND PATIENT, AND PUT MY TRUST IN HIM, WHO IS THE GOVERNOR OF ALL.

                       👉❤  WHENSOEVER BY SOME PRESENT HARD OCCURENCES THOU ART CONSTRAINED TO BE IN SOME SORT TROUBLED AND VEXED, RETURN UNTO THYSELF AS SOON AS MAY BE, AND BE NOT OUT OF TUNE LONGER THAN THOU MUST NEED. FOR , SO SHALT THOU BE THE BETTER ABLE TO KEEP THY PART ANOTHER TIME, AND TO MAINTAIN THE HARMONY, IT THOU DOST USE THYSELF TO THIS CONTINUALLY, ONCE OUT, PRESENTLY TO HAVE RECOURSE UNTO IT, AND TO BEGIN AGAIN.

                        👉❤   IF IT WERE THAT THOU HADST AT ONE TIME BOTH A STEPMOTHER, AND A NATURAL MOTHER LIVING, THOU WOULDST HONOUR AND RESPECT HER ALSO, NEVERTHELESS TO THINE OWN NATURAL MOTHER WOULD THY REFUGE, AND RECOURSE BE CONTINUALLY. SO LET THE COURT AND THY PHILOSOPHY BE UNTO THEE, AND THOU ALSO IN THOSE THINGS NOT INTOLERABLE UNTO OTHERS.

                           👉❤   DEATH IS A CESSATION FROM THE IMPRESSION OF THE SENSES, THE TYRANNY OF THE PASSIONS, THE ERRORS OF THE MIND, AND THE SERVITUDE OF THE BODY.

   

                           👉❤   WHATSOEVER IN ANY KIND DOTH HAPPEN TO ANYONE, IS EXPEDIENT TO THE WHOLE. AND THUS MUCH TO CONTENT US MIGHT SUFFICE, THAT IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR THE WHOLE IN GENERAL. BUT YET THIS ALS SHALT THOU GENERALLY PERCEIVE, IF THOU DOST DILIGENTLY TAKE HEED, THAT WHATSOEVER DOTH HAPPEN TO ANYONE MAN OR MEN. AND NOW I AM CONTENT THAT THE WORD EXPEDIENT, SHOULD MORE GENERALLY BE UNDERSTOOD OF THOSE THINGS INDIFFERENT, AS HEALTH, WEALTH, AND THE LIKE.

                             👉❤   AS THE ORDINARY SHOWS OF THE THEATRE AND OF OTHER SUCH PLACES, WHEN THOU ART PRESENTED WITH THEM, AFFECT THEE, AS THE SAME THINGS STILL SEEN, AND IN THE SAME FASHION, MAKE THE SIGHT UNGRATEFUL AND TEDIOUS, SO MUST ALL THE THINGS THAT WE SEE ALL OUR LIFE LONG AFFECT US. FOR ALL THINGS, ABOVE THE BELOW, ARE STILL THE SAME, AND FROM THE SAME CAUSES. WHEN THEN WILL THERE BE AN END?

AT ITS BEST, THIS ABILITY MAKES ONE A COMPETENT THERAPIST OF COUNSELOR - OR, IF COMBINED WITH SOME LITERALLY TALENT, A GIFTED NOVELIST OR DRAMATIST.

MILLIONS OF GALAXIES

                                THE SOLAR SYSTEM

                     DOOMSDAY OF THE OVERALL SOLAR SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SEPARATE EVENT FROM EARTH'S DOOMSDAY. PROBABLY, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVEN RELATED TO THE DOOMSDAY OF SOLAR SYSTEM. , AS SEEN FROM THE HOLY QURAN, IS THAT THE SUN WILL DRIFT AWAY FROM ITS PRESENT POSITION IN THE GALAXY, WHERE IT HAS BEEN TO HAVE FIXED ORBIT, COMPLETING ONE CYCLE IN ABOUT 250 MILLION YEARS. THIS MAY BE INITIATED WITH SOME NEARBY DISTURBANCE IN SPACE. EVENTUALLY, THE SUN MAY STRIKE WITH SOME OTHER HEAVENLY BODY AND DESTROYED FOR EVER.

                    IT IS WORTHWHILE TO NOTE THAT A FEW CENTURIES AGO, PEOPLE USED TO THINK OF THE SUN AS A STATIONARY OBJECT IN THE HEAVENS. EVEN COUPERNICUS HAD BUILD HIS REVOLUTIONARY THEORY OF THE EARTH REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE SUN WAS STATIONARY AND MEN OF SCIENCE BELIEVED THIS TO BE TRUE FOR MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES. BUT THE HOLY QURAN TWELVE CENTURIES BEFORE COUPERNICUS, HAD CLEARLY DESCRIBED THE TRAVEL OF THE SUN IN SPACE IN SPACE IN THE FOLLOWING VERSE.

                               AND THE SUN

                               KEEPS ON RUSHING (IN SPACE)

                              ON A SET PATH,

                             ACCORDING TO THE PRE-FIXED

                             MEASUREMENT OF THE MOST POWERFUL, THE WISE.

                           THE UNIVERSE CONSISTS OF MILLIONS OF GALAXIES. OUR MILKY IS JUST ONE OUT OF ALL THOSE MILLIONS. IN IT ARE TRILLIONS OF STARS LIKE OUR SUN. EACH SUN HAS SEVERAL PLANNETS. THE DOOMSDAY OF EACH OF THESE WORLDS IS A SEPARATE EVENT. THE SPIRAL SHAPE SHOWS THAT ONCE ALL THIS MASS WAS CONCENTRATED AT THE CENTRE OF THE GALAXY. SOME DAY IT WILL ROLL BACK AND DESTROY ITSELF, FOLLOWING THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF CREATION, EVOLUTION AND DESTRUCTION GIVEN IN THE QURANIC VERSE 21.

                       THE SUN KEEPS ON RUSHING THROUGH SPACE ON ITS PREDESTINED COURSE AL-QURAN 36. AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 200 MILES PER SECOND, COVERING 6.3*10 MILES A YEAR WHICH IS 66 TIMES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE SUN. NOT MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT THE NATURE OF THIS MOTION. IS IT REALLY A STRAIGHT LINE, OR ARE WE SWINGING AROUND IN SOME SUPPER ORBIT, CETRE OF WHICH IS HOT YET KNOWN? IN A WAY THIS IS A HOZARDOUS JOURNEY IN THE HEAVENS WHICH HORSE AS MANY AS OVER A BILLION GALAXIES AND TRILLION OF TRILLIONS OF STARS, PLANETS AND OTHER TYPES OF HEAVENLY BODIES. THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH CANNOT BE RULED OUT WHICH MAY BRING ITS DOOMSDAY SUDDENLY.

                      ABOUT THE MOTION OF THE SUN THROUGH SPACE, THE QURAN HAD SAID FOURTEEN CENTURIES EARLIER.

                          AND THE SUN,

                          IT RUNS IN AN ORBIT OF ITS OWN,

                          (AND) THAT IS LAID DOWN BY THE WILL

                          OF THE ALMIGHTY,

                          THE ALL-KNOWING".

             

              IN THIS CONTRAST THE HOLY QURAN POINTS OUT THAT NEAR THE SOLAR DOOMSDAY, SOMETHING SUDDEN WILL HAPPEN WHICH WILL THROW THE SUN OUT OF ITS NORMAL PATH, CREATING OVERALL CHAOS IN THIS PART OF THE COSMOS. THIS IS SEEN FROM THE FOLLOWING VERSES.

                             (THE DAY) WHEN 

                                THE SUN IS OVERTHROWN,

                         AND WHEN THE STARS FALL LOOSING THEIR LIGHT,

                                AND WHEN THE MOUNTAINS, FLY OUT THEIR POSITIONS,

                          THE EVENTS MENTIONED IN THESE VERSES REPRESENT A CATASTROPHY OF GREAT MAGNITUDE, INVOLVING NOT ONLY SUN BUT MANY STARS. IT WILL BE A SYSTEMS. IT MAY EVEN SET A CHAIN REACTION, WHERE, STAR AFTER STAR HAVE THEIR DOOMSDAY AND ARE DESTROYED.

WHAT WE WILL DO BEFORE DEATH (QURAN SAYS)

 

                     

                             THE LIFE AFTER DEATH

                     

                            YOUR CREATION AND YOUR RESURRECTION

                             IS BUT LIKE THAT OF A SINGLE SELF.

                             VERILY HE IS THE ALL-HEARING AND SEEING.

                     PEOPLE ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WILL THINK THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SLEEPING FOR ONLY A WHILE, AND HAD BEEN WOKEN UP. AND IT WILL BE A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE FOR THEM. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS IN OUR OWN WORLDLY LIFE. WHEN WE LOOK BACK, IT SEEMS BUT A VERY SHORT PERIOD.

                    THE HOLY QURAN ILLUSTRATES THIS WITH THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPE OF CONVERSATION AMONG THE PEOPLE AT THEIR RESURRECTION.

                               THE GUILTY WILL VOW THAT THEY DID TARRY

                            BUT AN HOUR,

                            BUT THOSE TO WHOM KNOWLEDGE AND FAITH,

                            ARE GIVEN, WILL SAY,

                           THE TRUTH IS, YE HAVE TARRIED BY ALLAH'S

                           DECREE UNTIL THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

                          THIS IS THE DAY OF RESURRECTION,

                           BUT YE USED NOT TO BELIEVE".

            THE DAY OF RESURRECTION IS THE DAY OF GATHERING TOGETHER OF ALL THE GENERATIONS OF MANKIND FROM ALL THE WORLDS, FROM ALL THE TIMES. THAT IS THE DAY OF ACCOUNTABILITY ALSO. THERE IS HARDLY ANY PAGE OF THE HOLY QURAN, WHICH DOES NOT WARN MANKIND OF THEIR RESURRECTION AND THEIR ACCOUTABILITY IN THE LIFE-AFTER-DEATH. "THE EMISSARIS" OF THE HOLY QURAN , IS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF THE SCENARIO OF THE DAY OF RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE-AFTER-DEATH. IT SAYS:

                     THIS IS THE DAY OF DECISION,

                           WE HAVE BROUGHT YOU

                  AND THE MEN OF OLD TOGETHER.

                         IF NOW YE HAVE ANY WIT, OUTWIT ME,'               

                 WOE UNTO THE REPUDIATORS ON THE DAY

                          LO! THOSE WHO KEPT THEIR DUTY

                 ARE A MID SHADE AND FOUNTAINS,

                        AND FRUITS SUCH AS THEY DESIRE.

                 (UNTO THEM IT IS SAID)

                        EAT, DRINK, AND WELCOME,

                  O YE BLESSED, IN RETURN FOR WHAT YE DID,

                       THUS DO WE REWARD THE GOOD.

 

                                                             ❤

                         ALL PRAISE IS FOR ALLAH,

                                  THE SUSTAINER AND NOURISHER OF

                        THE WORLD,

                                   THE OUTRIGHT BENEFICIENT AND,

                        MERCIFUL ALWAYS".

                      THE WHOLE SCENARIO OF EXISTENCE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED INTO THREE CATEGORIES, I.E.THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, AND OTHER WORLDS. ALLAH NOURISHES AND SUSTAINS THESE WORLDS AS HE SUSTAINS AND NOURISHES OUR EARTH. SINCE, NOURISHMENT IS ASSOCIATED WITH LIFE, THEREFORE, ONE CAN CONCLUDE FROM VERSE45 THAT OUR EARTH IS NOT BE THE ONLY LIVING WORLD IN THE UNIVERSE. THERE ARE MANY MORE WORLDS WHICH HAVE LIVING BEINGS, NEEDING NOURISHMENT FROM THEIR CREATOR. HE NOURISHES THEM AND SUSTAINS THEM AS HE LOOK AFTER OUR NEEDS ON THE EARTH.

                       AS FOR THE NATURE OF THESE WORLDS, FROM VERSE 65, IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE SIMILAR TO OUR EARTH.

                                  ALLAH IT IS, WHO HAS CREATED,'                

                                SEVEN HEAVENS,

                               AND OF THE EARTH, THE LIKE THEREOF,

                               THE (SAME) COMMANDMENT COMES DOWN

                               AMONG THEM GRADUALLY

                              SO THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT

                             ALLAH IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS, AND THAT 

                            ALLAH SURROUNDS ALL THINGS IN KNOWLEDGE.

                     IT IS OBVIOUS FROM THE VERSE THAT JUST AS THERE ARE MANY HEAVENS, SIMILARLY THERE ARE MANY EARTHS. THE COMMANDANT COMES DOWN AMONG THEM GRADUALLY". MEANS THAT ALL OF THEM FOLLWO THE SAME PATTERN OF EVOLUATION AND DEVELOPMENT.

                     PRESENCE OF THE INTELLIGENT LIVING BEINGS IN THE OUTER SPACE IS ALSO EVIDENT FROM VERSE 55, WHICH INFORMS THAT EVERYONE, THAT IS IN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH SEEK THEIR NEEDS FROM ALLAH.

                        OF HIM SEEKS (ITS NEED)

                        EACH ONE IN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,

                        EVERYDAY, HE APPEARS IN

                       NEW SPLENDOUR".

                              EVERYDAY HE APPEARS IN NEW SPLENDOUR" MEANS THAT, NEW WORLDS ARE CONTINUOUSLY BEING ADDED TO THE UNIVERSE, BEFITTING FOR CARRYING LIFE. THEY ALL DEPEND ON ALLAH FOR THEIR LIVING AND IN THEIR TURN, EACH ONE OF THEM WILL HAVE ITS OWN DOOMSDAY. IN THE END, ALL OF THEM WILL BE GATHERED TOGETHER AT THE TIME OF THE RESURRECTION.

                               👉      MAN, GOD , THE WORLD, EVERY ONE IN THEIR KIND, BEAR SOME FRUITS. ALL THINGS HAVE THEIR PROPER TIME TO BEAR. THOUGH BY CUSTOM, THE WORD ITSELF IS IN A MANNER BECOME PROPER UNTO THE VINE, AND THE LIKE, YET IS IT SO NEVERTHELESS, AS WE HAVE SAID. AS FOR REASON, THAT BEARETH BOTH COMMON FRUIT FOR THE USE OF OTHERS, AND PECULIAR, WHICH ITSELF DOTH ENJOY. REASON IS OF A DIFFUSIVE NATURE, WHAT ITSELF IS IN ITSELF, IT BEGETS IN OTHERS, AND SO DOTH MULTIPLY.

                                                  👀

                                👉        EITHER TEACH THEM BETTER IF IT BE IN THY POWER, OR IF IT BE NOT, REMEMBER THAT FOR THIS USE, TO BEAR WITH THEM PATIENTLY, WAS MILDNESS AND GOODNESS GRANTED UNTO THEE. THE GODS THEMSELVES ARE GOOD UNTO SUCH, YEA  AND IN SOME THINGS, (AS IN MATTER OF HEALTH, OF WEALTH, OF HONOUR) ARE CONTENT OFTEN TO FURTHER THEIR ENDEAVOURS, SO GOOD AND GRACIOUS ARE THEY. AND MIGHTEST THOU NOT BE SO TOO? OR , TELL ME, WHAT DOTH HINDER THEE?

                                      👀

                                👉           AS ONE WHO IS ALTOGETHER GOVERNED BY NATURE, LET IT BE THY CARE TO OBSERVE WHAT IT IS THAT NATURE IS GENERAL DOTH REQUIRE. THAT DONE, IF THOU FIND NOT THAT THY NATURE, AS THOU ART A LIVING SENSIBLE CREATURE, WILL BE HE WORSE FOR IT, THOU MAYEST PROCEED. NEXT THEN THOU MUST EXAMINE, WHAT THY NATURE AS THOU ART A LIVING SENSIBLE CREATURE, DOTH REQUIRE. AND THAT, WHATSOEVER IT BE, THOU  MAYEST ADMIT OF AND DO IT, IF THY NATURE AS THOU ART A REASONABLE LIVING CREATURE, WILL NOT BE THE WORSE FOR IT. NOW WHATSOEVER IS REASONABLE, IS ALSO SOCIABLE. KEEY THYSELF TO THESE RULES, AND TROUBLE, NOT THYSELF ABOUT IDLE THINGS.

                                      👀

                                  👉          WHATSOEVER DOTH HAPPEN UNTO THEE, THOU ART NATURALLY BY THY NATURAL CONSTITUTION EITHER ABLE, OR NOT ABLE TO BEAR. IF THOU BEEST ABLE, BE NOT OFFENED, BUT BEAR IT ACCORDING TO THY NATURAL CONSTITUTION, OR AS NATURE HATH ENABLED THEE. IF THOU BEEST NOT ABLE, BE NOT OFFENED. FOR IT WILL SOON MAKE AN END OF THEE, AND ITSELF, (WHATSOEVER IT BE) AT THE SAME TIME END WITH THEE. BUT REMEMBER, THAT WHATSOEVER BY THE STRENGTH OF OPINION, GROUNDED UPON A CERTAIN APPREHENSION OF BOTH TRUE PROFIT AND DUTY, THOU CANST CONCEIVE TOLERABLE, THAT THOU ART ABLE TO BEAR THAT BY THY NATURAL CONSTITUTION.

                                     👀

                                   👉         HIM THAT OFFENDS, TO TEACH WITH UNTO THEE, IT IS THAT WHICH FROM ALL TIME WAS APPOINTED UNTO THEE. FOR BY THE SAME COHERENCE OF CAUSES, BY WHICH THY SUBSTANCE FROM ALL ETERNITY WAS APPOINTED TO BE, WAS ALSO WHATSOEVER SHOULD HAPPEN UNTO IT, DESTINATED AND APPOINTED.

                                     👀 

                                   👉        AS THE SPIDER, WHEN IT HATH CAUGHT THE FLY THAT IT HUNTED AFTER, IS  NOT LITTLE PROUD, NOR MEANLY CONCEITED OF HERSELF, AS HE LIKEWISE THAT HATH CAUGHT AN HARE, OR HATH TAKEN A FISH WITH HIS NET, AS ANOTHER FOR THE TAKING OF A BOAR, AND ANOTHER OF A BEAR, SO MANY THEY BE PROUD, AND APPLAUD THEMSELVES FOR THEIR VALIANT ACTS AGAINST THE SARMATAI, OR NORTHERN NATIONS LATELY DEFEATED. FOR THESE ALSO, THESE FAMOUS SOLDIERS AND WARLIKE MEN, IF THOU DOST LOOK INTO THEIR MINDS AND OPINIONS, WHAT DO THEY FOR THE MOST PART BUT HUNT AFTER PREY?

                                                👀

                                 👉          TO FIND OUT, AND SET TO THYSELF SOME CERTAIN WAY AND METHOD OF CONTEMPLATION, WHEREBY THOU MAYEST CLEARLY DISCERN AND REPRESENT UNTO THYSELF, THE MUTUAL CHANGE OF ALL THINGS, THE ONE INTO THE OTHER. BEAR IT IN THY MIND EVERMORE, AND SEE THAT THOU BE THOROUGHLY WELL EXERCISED IN THIS PARTICULAR. FOR THERE IS NOT ANYTHING MORE EFFECTUAL TO BEGET TRUE MAGNANIMITY.

TAUGHT AND TRULY MODEST, TO HIM THAT GIVES AND TAKES AWAY. AND IT IS NOT OUT OF A STOUT AND PEREMPTORY RESOLUTION, THAT HE SAITH IT, BUT IN MERE LOVE, AND HUMBLE SUBMISSION.

                                      👀

                     👉      SO LIVE AS INDIFFERENT TO THE WORLD AND ALL WORLDLY OBJECTS, AS ONE WHO LIVETH BY HIMSELF ALONE UPON SOME DESERT HIM. FOR WHETHER HERE, OF THERE, IF THE WHOLE WORLD BE BUT AS ONE TOWN, IT MATTERS NOT MUCH FOR THE PLACE. LET THEM BEHOLD AND SEE A MAN. THAT IS A MAN INDEED, LIVING ACCORDING TO THE TRUE NATURE OF MAN. IF THEY CANNOT BEAR WITH ME, LET THEM KILL ME. FOR BETTER WERE IT TO DIE, THAN SO TO LIVE AS THEY WOULD HAVE THERE.

                                👉  EVER TO REPRESENT UNTO THYSELF, AND TO SET BEFORE THEE, BOTH THE GENERAL AGE AND TIME OF THE WORLD, AND THE WHOLE SUBSTANCE OF IT. AND HOW ALL THINGS PARTICULAR IN RESPECT OF THESE ARE FOR THEIR SUBSTANCE, AS ONE OF THE LEAST SEEDS THAT IS, AND FOR THEIR DURATION, AS THE TURNING OF THE PESTLE IN THE MORTAR ONCE ABOUT. THEN TO FIX THY MIND UPON EVERY PARTICULAR OBJECT OF THE WORLD, AND TO CONCEIVE IT, (AS IT IS INDEED), AS ALREADY BEING IN THE STATE OF DISSOLUTION, AND OF CHANGE, TENDING TO SOME KIND OF EITHER PUTREFACTION OR DISPERSION, OR WHATSOEVER ELSE IT IS, THAT IS THE DEATH AS IT WERE OF EVERYTHING IN HIS OWN KIND.

                                      👀

                                                  👀

                    👉 WHATSOEVER IT IS THAT THOU GOES ABOUT, CONSIDER OF IT BY THYSELF, AND ASK THYSELF, WHAT? BECAUSE I SHALL DO THIS NO MORE WHEN I AM DEAD, SHOULD THEREFORE DEATH SEEM GRIEVOUS UNTO ME?

AND SO OFT AS ANYTHING DOTH HAPPEN THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE TROUBLE THEE, LET THIS MEMENTO PRESENTLY COME TO THY MIND, THAT IT IS THAT WHICH THOU HAST ALREADY OFTEN SEEN AND KNOWN. GENERALLY, ABOVE AND BELOW, THOU SHALT FIND BUT THE SAME THINGS. THE VERY SAME THINGS WHEREOF TOWNS ARE FULL, AND HOUSES FULL. THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS NEW. ALL THINGS THAT ARE, ARE BOTH USUAL AND OF LITTLE CONTINUANCE.

   

                          ❤    WHAR FEAR IS THERE THAT DOGMATA, OR PHILOSOPHICAL RESOLUTIONS PROPER POWER AND EFFICACY FANCIES, AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THINGS ON WHICH THEY MUTUALLY DEPEND (WHICH CONTINUALLY TO STIR UP AND REVIVE IS IN THEY POWER) , ARE STILL KEPT FRESH AND ALIVE? IT IS IN MY POWER CONCERNING THIS THING THAT IS HAPPENED. WHATSOEVER IT BE, TO CONCEIT THAT WHICH IS RIGHT AND TRUE. IF IT BY, WHY THEN AM I TROUBLED? THOSE THINGS THAT ARE WITHOUT MY UNDERSTANDING, ARE NOTHING TO IT ALL. AND THAT IS IT ONLY, WHICH DOTH PROPERLY CONCERN ME. BE ALWAYS IN THIS MIND, AND THOU WILT BE RIGHT.

                          ❤    WORD AFTER WORD, EVERYONE BY ITSELF, MUST THE THINGS THAT ARE SPOKEN BE CONCEIVED AND UNDERSTOOD, AND SO THE THINGS THAT ARE DONE, PURPOSE AFTER PURPOSE, EVERYONE BY ITSELF LIKEWISE. AND AS IN MATTER OF PURPOSES AND ACTIONS, WE MUST PRESENTLY SEE WHAT IS THE POWER USE AND RELATION OF EVERY ONE, SO OF WORDS MUST WE BE AS READY, TO CONSIDER OF EVERYONE WHAT IS THE TRUE MEANING, AND SIGNIFICATION OF IT ACCORDING TO TRUTH AND NATURE, HOWEVER IT BE TAKEN IN COMMON USE.

                          ❤    WHATSOEVER IS MATERIAL, DOTH SOON VANISH AWAY INTO THE COMMON SUBSTANCE OF THE WHOLE, AND WHATSOEVER IS FORMAL, OR, WHATSOEVER DOTH ANIMATE THAT WHICH IS MATERIAL, IS SOON RESUMED INTO THE COMMON REASON OF THE WHOLE, AND THE FAME AND MEMORY OF ANYTHING, IS SOON SWALLOWED BY THE THE GENERAL AGE AND DURATION OF THE WHOLE.

                        ❤    TO A REASONABLE CREATURE, THE SAME ACTION IS BOTH ACCORDING TO NATURE, AND ACCORDING TO REASON.

                       ❤    STRAIGHT OF ITSELF, NOT MADE STRAIGHT.

                        ❤    AS SEVERAL MEMBERS IN ONE BODY UNITED, SO ARE REASONABLE CREATURES IN A BODY DIVIDED AND DISPERSED, ALL MADE AND PREPARED FOR ONE COMMON OPERATION. AND THIS THOU SHALT APPREHEND THE BETTER, IF THOU SHALT USE THYSELF OFTEN TO SAY TO THYSELF, I AM A MEMBER OF THE MASS AND BODY OF REASONABLE SUBSTANCES. BUT IF THOU SHALT SAY I AM MEROZ, OR A PART, THOU DOST NOT YET LOVE MEN FROM THY HEART. THE JOY THAT THOU TAKES IN THE EXERCISES OF BOUNTY, IS NOT YET GROUNDED UPON A DUE RATIOCINATION AND RIGHT APPREHENSION OF THE NATURE OF THINGS. THOU DOST EXERCISE IT AS YET UPON THIS GROUND BARELY, AS A THING CONVENIENT AND FITTING. NOT, AS DOING GOOD TO THYSELF, WHEN THOU DOST GOOD UNTO OTHERS.

                       ❤    OF THINGS THAT ARE EXTERNAL, HAPPEN WHAT WILL TO THAT WHICH CAN SUFFER BY EXTERNAL ACCIDENTS. THOSE THINGS THAT SUFFER LET THEM COMPLAIN THEMSELVES, ACCIDENTS.  IF THEY WILL, AS FOR ME , AS LONG AS I CONCEIVE NO SUCH THING, THAT WHICH IS HAPPENED IS EVIL, I HAVE NO HURT, AND IT IS IN MY POWER NOT TO CONCEIVE ANY SUCH THING.

                          ❤    WHATSOEVER ANY MAN EITHER DOTH OR SAITH, THOU MUST BE GOOD, NOT FOR ANY MAN'S SAKE, BUT FOR THINE OWN NATURE'S SAKE, AS IF EITHER GOOD, OR THE EMERALD, OR PURPLE, SHOULD EVER BE SAYING TO THEMSELVES, WHATSOEVER ANY MAN EITHER DOTH OR SAITH, I MUST STILL BE AN EMERALD, AND I MUST KEEP MY COLOUR.

                         ❤    THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE, OF THE COMMON SUBSTANCE OF ALL THINGS AS IT WERE OF SO MUCH WAX HATH NOW PERCHANCE FORMED A HORSE, AND THEN, DESTROYING THAT FIGURE, HATH NEW TEMPERED AND FASHIONED THE MATTER OF IT INTO THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF A TREE, THEN THAT AGAIN INTO THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF A MAN, AND THEN THAT AGAIN INTO SOME OTHER. NOW EVERYONE OF THESE DOTH SUBSIST BUT FOR A VERY LITTLE WHILE. AS FOR DISSOLUTION, IF IT BE NO GRIEVOUS THING TO THE CHEST OR TRUNK, TO BE JOINED TOGETHER, WHY SHOULD IT BE MORE GRIEVOUS TO BE PUT ASUDER?

                       ❤    WHENSOEVER ANY MAN DOTH TRESPASS AGAINST OTHER, PRESENTLY CONSIDER WITH THYSELF WHAT IT WAS THAT HE DID SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD, WHAT TO BE EVIL, WHEN HE DID TRESPASS. FOR THIS WHEN THOU KNOWEST, THOU WILT PITY HIM THOU WILT HAVE NO OCCASION EITHER TO WONDER, OR TO BE ANGRY. FOR EITHER THOU THYSELF DUST YET LIVE IN THAT ERROR AND IGNORANCE, AS THAT THOU DUST SUPPOSE EITHER THAT VERY THING THAT HE DOTH, OR SOME OTHER LIKE WORLDLY THING, TO BE GOOD, AND SO THOU ART BOUND TO PARDON HIM IF HE HAVE DONE THAT WHICH THOU IN THE LIKE CASE WOULDST HAVE DONE THYSELF. OR IF SO BE THAT THOU DOST NOT ANY MORE SUPPOSE THE SAME THINGS TO BE GOOD OR EVIL, THAT HE DOTH, HOW CANST THOU BUT BE GENTLE UNTO HIM THAT IS IN AN ERROR?

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF PRESENT MOVEMENT? (THE POWER OF MEDITATION)

 

        

                          THE POWER OF PRESENT

                                     MEDITATION

                         👀 WHATSOEVER IS NOW PRESENT, AND FROM DAY TO DAY HATH ITS EXISTENCE, ALL OBJECTS OF MEMORIES, AND THE MINDS AND MEMORIES THEMSELVES, INCESSANTLY CONSIDER, ALL THINGS THAT ARE, HAVE THEIR BEING BY CHANGE AND ALTERATION. USE THYSELF THEREFORE OFTEN TO MEDITATE UPON THIS, THAT THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE DELIGHTS IN NOTHING MORE, THAN IN ALTERING THOSE THINGS THAT ARE, AND IN MAKING OTHERS LIKE UNTO THEM. SO THAT WE MAY SAY, THAT WHATSOEVER IS, IS BUT AS IT WERE THE SEED OF THAT WHAT WHICH SHALL BE. FOR IT THOU THINK THAT, THAT ONLY IS SEED, WHICH EITHER THE EARTH OR THE WOMB RECEIVETH, THOU ART VERY SIMPLE.

                       👀     THOU ART NOW READ TO DIE, AND YET HAST THOU NOT ATTAINED TO THAT PERFECT SIMPLICITY, THOU ART YET SUBJECT TO MANY TROUBLES AND PERTURBATIONS, NOT YET FREE FROM ALL FEAR AND SUSPICION OF EXTERNAL ACCIDENTS, NOR YET EITHER SO MEEKLY DISPOSED TOWARDS ALL MEN, AS THOU SHOULDEST, OR SO AFFECTED AS ONE, WHOSE ONLY STUDY ONLY WISDOM IS, TO BE JUST IN ALL HIS ACTIONS.

                         👀 IN ANOTHER MAN'S MIND AND UNDERSTANDING THY EVIL CANNOT SUBSIST, NOR IN ANY PROPER TEMPER OR DISTEMPER OF THE NATURAL CONSTITUTION  OF THY BODY, WHICH IS BUT AS IT WERE THE COAT OR COTTAGE OF THY SOUL. WHEREIN THEN, BUT IN THAT PART OF THEE, WHEREIN, THE CONCEIT, AND APPREHENSION OF ANY MISERY CAN SUBSIST? LET NOT THAT PART THEREFORE ADMIT ANY SUCH CONCEIT, AND THEN ALL IS WELL. THOUGH THY BODY WHICH IS SO NEAR IT SHOULD EITHER BE CUT OR BURNT, OR SUFFER ANY CORRUPTION OR PUTREFACTION, YET LET THAT PART TO WHICH IT BELINGS TO JUDGE OF THESE, BE STILL AT REST, THAT IS, LET HER JUDGE THIS, THAT WHATSOEVER IT IS, THAT EQUALLY MAY HAPPEN TO A WICKED MAN, AND TO A GOOD MAN, IS NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL. FOR THAT WHICH HAPPENS EQUALLY TO HIM THAT LIVES ACCORDING TO NATURE, AND TO HIM THAT DOTH NOT, IS NEITHER ACCORDING TO NATURE, NOR AGAINST IT, AND BY CONSEQUENT, NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD.

                        👀 EVER CONSIDER AND THINK UPON THE WORLD AS BEING BUT ONCE LIVING SUBSTANCE, AND HAVING BUT ONE SOUL, AND HOW ALL THINGS IN THE WORLD, ARE TERMINATED INTO ONE SENSITIVE POWER, AND ARE DONE BY ONE GENERAL MOTION AS IT WERE, AND DELIBERATION OF THAT ONE SOUL, AND HOW ALL THINGS THAT ARE, CONCUR IN THE CAUSE OF ONE ANOTHER'S BEING, AND BY WHAT MANNER OF CONNECTION AND CONCATENATION ALL THINGS HAPPEN.

                       👀 WHAT ART THOU, THAT BETTER AND DIVINE PART EXCEPTED, BUT AS EPICTETUS SAID WELL, A WRETCHED SOUL, APPOINTED TO CARRY A CARCASS UP AND DOWN?

                       👀 TO SUFFER CHANGE CAN BE NO HURT, AS NO BENEFIT IT IS, BY CHANGE TO ATTAIN TO BEING. THE AGE AND TIME OF THE WORLD IS AS IT WERE A FLOOD AND SWIFT CURRENT, CONSISTING OF THE THINGS THAT ARE BROUGHT TO PASS IN THE WORLD. FOR AS SOON AS ANYTHING HATH APPEARED, AND IS PASSED AWAY, ANOTHER SUCCEEDS, AND THAT ALSO WILL PRESENTLY OUT OF SIGHT.

                       👀 WHATSOEVER DOTH HAPPEN IN THE WORLD, IS, IN THE COURSE OF SUMMER. AS USUAL AND ORDINARY AS A ROSE IN THE SPRING, AND FRUIT IN SUMMER. OF THE SAME NATURE IS SICKNESS AND DEATH, SLANDER, AND LYGING IN WAIT, AND WHATSOEVER ELSE ORDINARILY DOTH UNTO FOOLS USE TO BE OCCASION EITHER OF JOY OR SORROW. THAT,WHATSOEVER IT IS, THAT COMES AFTER, DOTH ALWAYS VERY NATURALLY, AND AS IT WERE FAMILIARITY, FOLLOW UPON THAT WHICH WAS BEFORE. FOR THOU MUST CONSIDER THE THINGS OF THE WORLD., NOT AS A LOOSE INDEPENDENT NUMBER, CONSISTING MERELY OF NECESSARY EVENTS, BUT AS A DISCREET CONNECTION OF THINGS ORDERLY AND HARMONIOUSLY DISPOSED. THERE IS THEN TO BE SEEN IN THE THINGS OF THE WORLD, NOT A BARE SUCCESSION, BUT AN ADMIRABLE CORRESPONDENCE AND AFFINITY.

                     👀 EVEN AS IF ANY OF THE GODS SHOULD TELL THEE, THOU SALT CERTAINLY DIE TOMORROW, OR NEXT DAY THOU WOULDST NOT, EXCEPT THOU BE EXTREMELY BASE AND PUSILLANIMOUS, TAKE IT FOR A GREAT BENEFIT, RATHER TO DIE THE NEXT DAY AFTER, THAN TOMORROW, (FOR ALAS, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE) SO, FOR THE SAME REASON, THINK IT NO GREAT MATTER TO DIE RATHER MANY YEARS AFTER, THAN THE VERY NEXT DAY.

                     👀THOU MUST BE LIKE A PROMOTORY OF THE SEA, AGAINST WHICH THOUGH THE WAVES BEAT CONTINUALLY, YET IT BOTH ITSELF STANDS, AND ABOUT IT ARE THOSE SWELLING WAVES STILLED AND QUIETED.

                      👀 THOU MUST COMFORT THYSELF IN THE EXPECTATION OF THY NATURAL DISSOLUTION, AND IN THE MEANTIME NOT GRIEVE AT THE DELAY, BUT REST CONTENTED IN THOSE TWO THINGS. FIRST, THAT NOTHING SHALL HAPPEN UNTO THEE, WHICH IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE. SECONDLY, THAT IT IS IN THY POWER, TO DO NOTHING AGAINST THINE OWN PROPER GOD, AND INWARD SPIRIT. FOR IT IS NOT IN ANY MAN'S POWER TO CONSTRAIN THEE TO TRANSGRESS AGAINST HIM.

                      * WHAT IS THE USE THAT NOW AT THIS PRESENT I MAKE OF MY SOUL? THUS FROM TIME TO TIME AND UPON ALL OCCASIONS THOU MUST PUT THIS QUESTION TO THYSELF, WHAT IS NOW THAT PART OF MIND WHICH THEY CALL THE RATIONAL MISTRESS PART, EMPLOYED ABOUT? WHOSE SOULD DO I NOW PROPERLY POSSESS? A CHILD'S? OR A YOUTH'S ? A WOMEN'S ? OR A TYRANT'S ? SOME BRUTE, OR SOME WILD BEAST'S SOUL?

                       * ALL THAT I CONSISTS OF, IS EITHER FORM OR MATTER.  NO CORRUPTION CAN REDUCE EITHER OF THESE UNTO NOTHING, EVERY PART OF MINE THEN WILL BY MUTATION BE DISPOSED INTO A CERTAIN PART OF THE WHOLE WORLD, AND THAT IN TIME INTO ANOTHER PART, AND SO IN INFINITUM, BY WHICH KIND OF MUTATION, I ALSO BECAME WHAT I AM, AND SO DID THEY THAT BEGOT ME, AND THEY BEFORE THEM, AND SO UPWARDS IN INFINITUM. FOR SO WE MAY BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK, THOUGH THE AGE AND GOVERNEMENT OF THE WORLD, BE TO SOME CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME LIMITED, AND CONFINED.
