The Browning of America

  I was prodded into writing this, as it took a jolt to the system to get my attention. This jolt was provided by Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas' speech at the University of Texas, Auston. A quick explanation is due. I have this rule of three, whenever someone or something comes to mind three times, I always follow up on it in some manner. Anyway, listening to that speech reminded me that knowingly, three times I was going to write on the title at hand, and three times I blew it off. I heard clearly that, you've run out reasons for why not to do it, now there is just One saying, Do not break the rule of three, write it. 

  I remember the Jim Crowe south. Our family drove from Jersey to Florida, back and forth about three times. My dad's mom had moved down there, so my parents, my brother and I made the trip together. There was no Interstate then, (early to mid 1950s), and so the route was a series of connected highways and county roads. I remember the Jim Crowe south vividly. The back roads all had run down houses with rusted tin roofs. My mother did her best to explain to us boys what we were seeing, my dad said little unless we had stopped for gas or wanted cold cokes or something like that. White and black water fountains and bathrooms of course, it made us kids feel confused. 

  But the point was not to talk about Jim Crowe, but rather to speak about the titled article I read so long ago. The writer's point was not a pleasant one. He predicted that eventually America would be more brown than white. I'd say we certainly are headed that way, but our 21st century reality is far from what the author predicted. It appears that white people could eventually become the minority, and in many ways is well on it's way. Interestingly, Justice Thomas is a rare black man, as most who claim the designation of black are more of a biege, or soft brown. So much for the writers assertion that white people would surely become violent, particularly over mixed marriages. He compared white men's reaction to be klu klux clan in nature, but instead, as we go about our day to day lives we see no such violence, nor the ignorance that fuels it. Just the opposite is true amongst the people. Racism is profitable for some reason, so unfortunately race baiters still peddle the lie until it gets no press. But people, don't prefix your name with a label other than that of being a legal citizen of the greatest country in the world. Happy 250th birthday America!      

Theories

   Depending on which threads you hang, I've noticed a lot of scientific references as I scroll down mine. Physics have become fashionable, Quantum physics primarily. Scientists and wanna be scientists and physicist type experts age and are always spouting one theory after another, all, prefixed with the word quantum? I can't do the math, nor do I have time to learn it, but I do understand when they write well enough to convert their mathematical find into an understandable explanation of their equations. Lately I've noticed that these type of posts circle all around my own theory. More specifically, these quantum theories circle the same centralized type of singularity, meaning that the darkness we perceive is dark matter and dark energy, (unknown source) are in essence, all that is. Some bright and lifelike and most not, but rather dark and dead. But each performing it's task perfectly within and around our world. These physicists are speaking about a commonality, a connective's. Whether the science is looking at the cosmos, of much more personally, the wonders of creation from human cells, nuclear atoms, electrodes, gravity and that interplay of the planets all is part of the other. both living and dead, all that is, is. In other words there is a central force that holds it all together, a true singularity. Everything is everything, and everything is part of a much larger entity than the mind can fathom. I agree. 

  Aside from the scientific jargon, I would label my theory as yes, everything is of, or from, one central plan. That central sensibility is quite real because everything whether actively conscious or not is all there is, the central reality that these sciences might consider. Quantize it if you must, but all is God, everything that is, was and will be. Us understanding such unbridled power and beauty leaves us awestruck. What is reality? Consider this, our physical lives as we understand them are an aging life, a life of constant care and concern. But our essence, our spiritual self is eternal. This is pure conjecture, I make no Scriptural claim, but perhaps our lives created a notch lower than the angels, but we have a better future than do they. Because unike all that He created, He created man in their image, that of, Father Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Unlike the angels created to serve only, we, by our own will, choose gladly to serve Him. Angels didn't choose to serve God, they were designed for that purpose, and so it is a possibility, that the One of Infinity  the One of power and majesty, the One due all honor and glory chose us to be made in His image, to us He offers to meld with the Heaven-lies for eternity and a day. All power and energy, all matter of all things are His.  With Him there are many eternities, for He is One He asks us to become one with Him. News flash!, you cannot be a god, but you can follow and be part of the One.
