A spider creates a web from a seemingly unlimited supply of “web material” from within her body. It’s spun from within, and like the universe, you are a version of this invaginated process spinning out of itself.
The universe is not “made,” like a clockmaker makes a clock out of individual parts. The universe turns itself inside out, like a star that bursts from a hot, dense mass, or an egg or seed that breaks open.
The present moment feels like it’s unfolding into the darkness of the future. But the darkness of the future is also in on the trick. It too pretends to not know the present moment. It’s like two people meeting, but walking backwards into each other. They sense the approach, but cannot see. But, Unfamiliar and Familiar are all part of the same family. The universe does this to itself in each newborn. Disoriented newborns become oriented. How? Within disorientation the seed of orientation is implanted.
You think you don’t know the future. You think you’re “just human.” The spider doesn’t think, she just is. She’s the supply and has no capacity to realize it. But YOU have the capacity to realize it.
The Great Known and The Great Unknown are realigning within you, meeting face-to-face for what appears to be the “first” time. This mysterious gap is what you call God, right there in the middle of your abdomen, spinning a story, an intricate web of your life that seems to be happening to you; but it’s happening from you. You’re the supply bursting forth from within itself. It’s not being added to, it’s coming from. The Familiar and the Unfamiliar are unified, but appear to be walking backwards, towards each other. We have Knowing capacity, without seeing face-to-face. This is the closest you’ll come to meeting your “creator” before you die.
