When two worlds collide

August 11, we were treated to a lecture by Johannes Kuhl from Switzerland on rainbows and other natural heavenly phenomona. These happen as a result of a collision, if you like, between light and dark, in a way one could even say like fireworks. There are actually different kinds of rainbows, some of which although they may exist theoretically, are still waiting to be discovered, or perceived. According to the Bible, rainbows only first existed in the time of Noah. Prior to then, it was not possible for them to appear, or for humans to perceive them. As humanity evolves, so will our perception. The same idea relates to the human be-ing. As we evolve, we will be able to perceive things which we cannot at present. Other senses will be opened. Historically, and especially in the 20th century, we are becoming more and more "aware" of other realities. I am thinking in terms of the Age of Exploration, when East met West, and North met South. We were all of a sudden confronted by other cultures. As our hearts and minds were opened, we came to an appreciation and respect for these differences, or are at least striving to do this. When two worlds meet each other, there is a new window of limitless possibilities. We can see this in nature, in the evolution of plant and animal species, and of course people. Where male and female come together, there are again endless possibilities, or one could say, variations. (We see this also in music, especially in Wagner's Ring Cycle, as described by Daniel Hafner in his lectures.)We are presently experiencing the onset of the so-called Age of Aquarius, or a more female-oriented point of view. What will this mean in the future? In order for humanity to continue its evolution, there must be a cooperation between male and female points of view, or orientation. Where the female is more emotion/feeling/intuition and the male is more action-oriented, there must come about a harmony between the two, a blending or balancing. When two worlds collide, sparks fly. "I've got the notion, you cause a commotion, in my soul."
