His-Story Of All That Is – The Story Of ONE

Once upon a time there was nothing. No light. No life. VOID of anything. Well almost anything. There were these little atom guys randomly running around in the dark bumping into each other.

It was chaotic!

This story is about four of these little guys:

Hydro aka Hydrogen aka “Boss”
Nitro aka Nitrogen
Oxy aka Oxygen
Carb aka Carbon

One day these four were going about their routine when they all came together at exactly the same point.

BANG …

“Huh … WTH … What happened??” said Hydro.

“Whoa, Where am I?” said Nitro,  “And who are you guys and why are we stuck together.”

“Hey, this feels cool being stuck with you guys!” said Carb. “Sure is dark in here though.”

“I dunno? Kinda blows doesn’t it?” sighed Oxy. “I was having fun just bangin around. Now I don’t even feel like my old self.”

“Well your not!” said Nitro “You re new!  And however we got together doesn’t matter. We are together now and it feels like we are in it for the long haul .  There some other guys still bouncing around out there but something special has happened here. The four of us together have become a team. Who cares why? The only thing that matters is what is happening right NOW!

We need a team name.”

“How about dog?” says Hydro

“No, I’m saving that for something special.” Carb replied.

“I know! How about HONC? Would be great for bumper stickers,” said Oxy.

“No, looks like a typo.” commented Nitro.

“Wow!! Do I ever feel perfect right now.”  blurted Carb.

“Of course you’re perfect Carb. How can you not be? There’s only one of us. Hey that’s it!

ONE

We’ll call ourselves ONE. And we don’t need any other names cause we are all that is.” announced Nitro.

“Oh Nitro, that’s perfect. We are ONE. Its official. All agreed? said Hydro.

“We can add more names too, cant we? I feel alive right now. Maybe we can be LIFE.”  Said Oxy.

“LIFE .. that’s good too.” Hydro said.

“Hey! How bout god? I was thinking of that when Hydro said dog, ha ha!”  laughed Carb.

“Well sure, we can have lots of names but it doesn’t really matter what we label ourselves cause there is only ONE of us. So lets go with ONE. It’ll be an inside joke for us, as we get called everything else.

Ok so now what?

“Maybe we should look around a bit. Check this place out. Pretty dark out there. Pretty empty too.  It feels like we’re alone but we won’t know until we explore.” said Oxy, “Where do we start?”

“Lets go up first see whats up there. See what we can get into” said Hydro. “I’m full of ENERGY.”

“Wow …  Does this “up” never end? I think we should go back to where we started and go another way. Lets call it a day” said Oxy.

“Ok, Tomorrow lets go down. There was still no-thing up so maybe its down.” Carb replied.

Down they went. Same result. Seemed like it went on for eternity, but it was only one day.

Day 3 they went left. Day 4 right.

“Ok guys we haven’t found too much but its been an experience. We’ve been up, down, left, right. Now where?” Nitro asked.

“Lets go backward. Maybe there’s something  there.” said Oxy

So day 5 they went back and back and back.

“Ok guys its Day 6 and we only have one more way to go. Maybe this is our day. Out front we go.” Hydro announced.

“Whew that was a long day and now we’ve gone every way we can. What are we gonna do tomorrow?” said Nitro.

“I vote for R&R. I’m tired. We’ve worked hard. Plus now that we’ve created this LIFE, its time to enjoy it isn’t it?” Hydro asked.

“I’ll get the beer!” said Nitro.

“We gotta talk about whats next too, guys.”  reminded Hydro.

So Day 7 they rested and they partied … hard … What joy. What fun. Ya, they were really livin it up!

“Ok guys,” said Hydro, “Here`s an idea. You know we`ve been all the ways there is but what about all that space between? I think theres a lot more of this place to check out.”

“You’re right Boss! I want to experience it all.”  Carb said.

“You’re such a brown nose Carb.”  joked Nitro.

“Ok, there’s a lot of ways to go out there and I was thinking if we separate into pieces we can cover more ground. But of course we`re not really separate cause there is only one of us. Doesn’t matter where we go we will always be with each other.  Even though we will be stretched there will always be the invisible web of strings that keeps us connected to the ONE. We can experience every way and all do it together. The possibilities are LIMITLESS.”  Hydro remarked.

“What happens if we run out of ways to go?” asked Oxy.

“Ok. got that covered too. We just start again only we move one step over and one step up. Like and L. Or a staircase. When we step up one L we have a clean slate to start again. Course the old one is still there just down a step. And then we just keep adding on and expanding. For eternity!.”  Hydro exclaimed.

“Like a staircase huh? What should we call these new things?”  asked Nitro.

“How about dimensions!” blurted Oxy.

“Where did you come up with that?”  Hydro wondered.

“I dunno? Just sounded good,”  said Oxy

“And Carb, you know you are special right?” said Hydro.

Hydro continued, “And we can only use you in special situations. That’s because you may be small but you are really thick. So you got to jump in when we need to see something, when there is form, otherwise the three of us are gonna stay colorless and odorless and FORMLESS, filling in all the space between. No one will be able to see us so they will have to believe, without proof,  that we exist.

Carb, you will be the star.  The front man.  The maker of forms.  Quite a role, my brother.”  Hydro stated seriously.

“I am honored Boss. I will make some awesome forms with the help of you guys.”  Carb humbly replied. “I’ve been practicing before the party. If we just shape ourselves this way like an eye shape,  look what happens!”

“Whoooaaa … Look! … It’s light!  …  Hey!  Now I can see!” yelled Oxy.

“See Carb, I told you would be a star! Look what happens when we add light to this whole thing. It just adds endless possibilities for our creating. ” Hydro gawked in amazement.

“Can you feel the warmth of that light? Wow it feels LOVEly” gushed Nitro.

“Oh Carb, now we have ALL WE NEED. I think this Love/Light is going to be really big.” sighed Hydro.

“Ok guys. Today we party! Tomorrow we explore and experience and create and enjoy every second of our creations.”

“Hey we must be a CREATOR!  That’s cool!”  shouted Oxy.

“Oh yeah, One more thing, guys. When we’re creating out there, we’ve got to have a pattern to use and use it for everything so we don’t get confused if we need to go and change things. We’ll always go up and down in 2’s – 2,4,6,8 …. up or down to eternity since we have no beginning or end. We’ll call it the Golden Mean Ratio. And yes, I just made that up.” Hydro said proudly.

And we have to use those other guys I used to bump into and give them a break from the chaos.  In particular this one named Helio. And there be lots of him cause I was always busting into him. He can be hot! We’ve had some fiery encounters! And it wasn’t his fault he wasn’t in the right place at the right time. ” Hydro recalled.  

“We will HARMONIZE with them and they will become ONE with us because we are LOVE, and when you add love to anything it becomes LOVE. And we are LIFE so without us there is no LIFE. And as Nitro said before, we are something special. You were right!” Carb exclaimed. 

“Now we are all on the same wavelength and we have our blueprint. Let’s get it on!” Oxy said with a cheer.

So off they went in a million directions, in a million pieces, looking in every nook and cranny. Carb playing with forms. Sprinkling his creations along the way. An orb here and a spiral there. A tree here. A rock there. And this light thing is really fun to play with. And Hydro and Nitro loved to get together and play in the pool they would create with their union. All just pieces of the ONE but with Carbs help, making things appear separate. What fun. And what perfection.

Then one day, oh, about Day 15 Billion or so, Nitro came to Boss and said,
`
“Boss this is fun and all but its almost feeling like work and you know we’re not made for that so what can we do to spice this up a bit?”

“Funny you should say that Nitro. I must have read your thoughts cause I just thought up a  GAME we can play.” answered Hydro.

“A GAME!!  … Yahoo !!!” said Oxy, “Whats the rules Boss?”

“Ok, check this out.

You know those forms Carb has been playing with. The ones on that little blue planet he created last week.” said Hydro..

“Ya” they chimed.

“Well lets take one of those forms and have some fun with it. Lets create a form and then put this blanket over our head and hide from it. They will forget who they are cause they can’t see us. And they’ll run around looking all over the place for us. We can get the popcorn and sit and watch them from a front row seat and have some laughs. And all the other forms we made on that planet can join in the fun and laugh along with us.

We will watch the drama unfold as they keep looking outside themselves for us. We’ll be able to experience all kinds of new things with these forms that have forgotten.

Then we’ll give them little hints and nudges telling them that they don’t have to look far. And we’ll show them how it feels when they get a glimpse of us. And if they really look,  they will see us in everything. And when they connect with us they will feel the LIMITLESS POWER OF CREATION that we have.  And when they create like we do, we’ll stand up and applaud and cheer from the balcony.

We will even write it in their blueprint so if they are looking with the right perspective they will see it. We’ll write “GOD IS WITHIN” and see if they can figure it out. (Yes Carb they did use that one, ha ha)

But If they lift up the blanket and see that we are in them then the jigs up. GAME OVER. We’ve been found. The first thing they’ll say is,

“Geez, you were inside the whole time?”

Then we’ll have a group hug and the party will be on. The celebration of the ONE. And the stories. Oh, how we’ll laugh at the stories. What imaginations!

The party will go on, but now when they know who they are. When they know they are creating everything that surrounds them. When they become AWARE that they get to create anything they desire. They can LIVE just like us. They will rejoice and want to spread their inner knowing to others.”

“What do ya thinks guys?” Hydro asked.

“Well are you sure we’re not going to “hurt” them with this game?” said Oxy..

“Oxy, Oxy, cmon, How can we be hurt if there is only ONE of us?. Who’s gonna hurt us? We are ALL THAT IS.”  Hydro reminded.

“Oh ya right. Geez, even I forget sometimes.”  lamented Oxy.

“I was thinking Hydro, you know our blueprint for LIFE the Golden Mean. Well its a blueprint for eternity, right? No beginning or end.” Nitro explained. Well if we’re playing this game with them if they never wake up and find us inside they could go for eternity creating experiences designed to remember who they are. And you know they love to suffer but I don’t want to see them suffer for eterntity. Any ideas guys?”

“Oh good point Nitro.” agreed Hydro. “I’ve got a solution though. Let’s change up the pattern. But just a little tweak. When they look for the pattern they won’t be able to tell the difference. Well maybe this Fibonacci guy might figure it out but we’ll see. So with that Carb if we use this new pattern, can you create an illusionary end to their lifetime so they don’t have to suffer too long?  So if they don’t find us in 70 yrs or so we can pack up and leave, return to ONE and start again fresh, leaving a little bit of you behind.”

“Ya sure Boss. So if I create an end then there’s also a beginning. That solves Nitro’s problem and will make the game even more interesting cause we’ll get to party with them every time they leave and go back and lay bets with them whether it will be the next lifetime that they find us inside. Pure genius Hydro!” Carb added.

“So they are going to believe that LIFE has an end, so they will create that to end their pain. Ok that sounds nicer.” Nitro said.

“Ok thats it then. Get going Carb. Lets the games begin!” announced Hydro.

“Wow Boss!  We’ve got an awful lot of possibilities to experience now.  And this sounds like much more fun than making these rocks.” Carb added.

“Yes Carb, and we shall keep creating and expanding and adding on, eternally.” said Hydro furtively.

“And you know the blue planet is just one. Once we figure out it works we can make more.”

“Do you guys ever think about how lucky we are that we met?” Nitro asked.

“Oh yes! What a miracle it was. One in a zillion. We could be still bouncing around with no direction or order or purpose.” Oxy said.

“Bet it’s going to drive our game players crazy trying to figure our how and why we got together.” said Carb. “But hopefully they will remember our conversation when it happened. That it doesn’t matter why or how or when. Only what is. How we feel right NOW.”

“Yes and when our players figure out who they are and that there is order and purpose and meaning to LIFE.  And when they discover how easy it all is they will kick themselves.  And they will help each other remember, because they know we are all in this together.

They will feel the warmth of the light like we do. They will become the light as we are. And the light will make it easier to see us in all things.

They will know when we come to town the party’s on. And that we are the mover and shakers. We get it happening. We are the catalyst. We are the LIFE of the party and without us the party is dead. And who doesn’t love a good party? Who doesn’t love to feel ALIVE? 

They will call us SPIRIT and LOVE and GOD and YAHWEH and on and on. They will worship us as if we are special until they see that we are ONE

And they will RE-MEMBER. 

They will know that they are a piece of the ONE.

And ONE IS ALL THAT IS!”

(Well maybe …. : )
