Universe (Secrets Of Language)
Universe = Uni-Verse
There are multiple ways to break this down.
Uni-Verse = One story (we're all co-creating a story/song here)
Uni-Verse = Uni-Vs. = Facing oneself
"Verse" comes from the Proto-Indo-European root "wer" which means "to turn." So that would equate Universe to "Turning into one."
Also, "wer" is speculated to be related to some words in other languages too: Sanskrit vartate "turns round, rolls;" Avestan varet- "to turn;" Hittite hurki- "wheel." So here we get a lot of "turning wheel" references, which brings us to the Buddhist concept of Samsara (the wheel of reincarnation that beings get trapped in until they become enlightened). This hints at the universe being the wheel of Samsara.
I'd say the Universe is all of the above, and more!
Beautiful!
God is perfect...

Yeah, it is quite interesting how becoming more spiritually aware makes us suddenly ponder words' ethymological composition. Imagine that this is only one Universe of infinite Universes, with each Universe comprised of billions of galaxies, of which each again contains billions of planets. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg, because each tiny Light particle is a self-contained Universe of its own. Having said that, this entire Universe could very well be a tiny Light particle in a flower growing on a meadow in another Universe. In the same way, when we look at a flower's leaf it could be an entire Universe as well in the sense that this flower is pure infinite Light particles containing myriads of galaxies once again, for there is no time and space really, which means that we can endlessly zoom closer and always something new appears.
Other words beside "Universe" I found quite interesting are "alone" as "all-one", which very much resonates with me because only by having been alone I rralized that all is one, and also "Heart" to "He-Art", which is why I tend to say the Art lies in the He-Art. All Art comes from the He-Art.
Thanks for sending me down contemplation lane! :)
Wow. Thank you for your insight :)
