the hermetic universe
by michael hayes
ever since my formative years, when i first began to think in concepts, i have
always been confounded by the mystery of human existence. by and large we all
tend to take this consciousness of ours for granted, but for me it has always
been a source of wonder. equally perplexing is that ultimate question in life:
death ? that future happening looming over the horizon of all of our lives like
some conceptual black hole. what, one wonders, is the purpose in the unending
cycle of the genesis and inevitable destruction of all of us? why are millions
of sentient beings all over our planet created, only to starve or be slaughtered
wholesale, many without ever having been given the opportunity to fulfil
themselves?
on the wider scale of evolution, we see evidence in palaeontological and
fossil records, of the emergence and subsequent violent extinction of whole
races of people and species of animal. these entities come and go with alarming
regularity. but to what avail?
in the greater universe also, existence is no less capricious, with the
continuous formation and devastating destruction of planets, stars ? even entire
galaxies. and who knows what countless other life-forms out there are being
indiscriminately annihilated in this way? just normal, everyday occurrences ?
but these inviolable and often disturbingly violent events have persistently
gnawed at my reason. why, i ask myself, would the theologians all-wise and
all-knowing benefactor ? if he exists ? create such a myriad of wonderful forms
and then turn round and simply destroy them? these endless cycles of life and
death, creation and destruction ? what kind of devilment is this?
the ongoing debate over the possible existence and modus operendi of a
conscious, all-knowing creator proceeds unabated, with contributors from all
disciplines lining up to have their say. however, owing to a specific sequence
of events which led me on a solitary quest which was to last nearly fifteen
years, i believe i have found a way of understanding what might really be going
on in and around us. and ultimately, if i am right, the future looks not all
bad. what is more, in this particular scheme of things, god is tangible, very
much alive, and undeniably omnipresent.
strange as this may seem, this whole scenario can all be explained with
numbers.
