Emerson correlates magnificently to the author of The Symphony of the Zodiac. Both authors express ideas that complement the other, which is almost ironic because when I bought and started reading The Symphony of the Zodiac, I thought, and still believe, fate brought me to that book. The ideas, and thoughts that that book sparked inside of me have helped me realize truths I had never thought existed. It really opened up my mind, and gave me the tools to discover life in a new light. Now, in Spring 2011, a year after happening across The Symphony of the Zodiac, I am introduced to Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self Reliance.
Just by reading the introduction, which is written by Richard Whelan, I stand even more inspired. These two books are written in opposite parts of the world-one in America, the other in the East, near India. It's incredible to me that two people, that have never crossed paths or practiced the same religion can come to such similar conclusions about the cycle and purpose of life, the soul, and the human condition. Both write of the idea of the divine self and Universal Soul and most of their convictions make perfect sense to me.
I also must dwell on the possibility of all life extending from one tiny, condensed ball of matter (or energy). Somewhere, there is the point where all existence began, "The Point of Singularity," where all life stems from and still grows from, since the universe is still expanding. What if: all life that this tiny ball of matter creates eventually returns to it, the life-source, which fuels the creation of ever-expanding life forms...
We on this planet, Earth, will eventually collaborate into One being, One existence and become 'rays of light of the sun.' We will progress further into enlightenment, passing through several layers of the higher rings of divinity, until we, as one entity, finally reach (or earn, or become) absolute "Holiness" or "Divinity" that we become to exist as part in that condensed ball of matter. By achieving this highest form of divinity, we will be able to create more life-resulting in the expansion of space, in order to make room for new universes, new solar systems, new planets, new life. This is the point that regulates life as it exists, the point that keeps the circle of everything to keep existing and flowing.
