Life is a balance between rest and movement. (Rajneesh)
Thinking about the musings from DAY 83: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words – Conclusion....
I would submit to you that it is important to take some rest.
Just like the 12th week winding down at school, week 12 is winding down here. I end with the quote: “I will give you Sunday’s off, it’s a God thing….”
The more I think about it, I don’t really know if it is really just a ‘God thing’. I mean, don’t animals, insects, birds, plants, the rest of Mother Nature and even Atheists, believe in the importance of rest? Whether they think it’s a ‘God thing’ or not, rest is necessary for all of us on this Earth, to restore, and to rejuvenate, our hearts, minds, bodies and souls. I think, most importantly, because Monday’s can be brutal, on a good Monday….
Bottom line no matter where you stand on the issue of God…get some rest.
Spend some time if you want to do some reviewing, reflecting, and/or meditating, on the week that has just ended. To be mindful perhaps of the from last week:
DAY 78: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, Do All Scientists Agree? – There are at least 9 individuals, respected in their field of science, that have issues with Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. In fact, one of these individuals is Sir Isaac Newton, who pre-dated Charles Darwin by over 100 years;
DAY 79: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, Is The Science Really Settled? – There are at least 2 issues that must be addressed when determining the scientific relevance of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution: The Second Law of Thermodynamics. There are also 6 more questions covered here that must be asked to help one determine whether or not the science is in fact settled regarding the Theory of Evolution;
DAY 80: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, 12 More Questions. – After understanding that there are 7 conditions that would qualify as to what the definition of science is, more questions need to be asked regarding the scientific relevance of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. From here, at least 12 more questions must be asked…and they are not easy to answer;
DAY 81: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, Can You Give Me That Number Again? – In the realm of mathematics, a man named Fibonacci came to a revolutionary conclusion that changed forever the trajectory of the Western World. What is most interesting is the larger these Fibonacci Sequence numbers get, the more their answers stay the same…when each new number in the sequence is simply the sum of the two before it…and then divided, the same number is your answer: 1.618, the Golden Ratio;
DAY 82: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. – There are 30 pictures presented that all have one thing in common…The Golden Ratio, 1.618. This number, 1.618, the Gold Ratio, can be found in: galaxies, a continent, water, sea creatures, plants, animals, and insects;
DAY 83: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words – Conclusion. – An additional 30 pictures are presented here, all relating to: humans, art and architecture. How is it possible that, when combined the 30 pictures presented in Day 82, that Darwin’s Theory of Evolution can be scientifically accurate?
Are you ready to get some rest?
Do not feel discouraged if you don’t know how to rest. Do not feel discouraged if you power down your mind and body that wishes to forge ahead, so many things to do, so little time. Instead, embrace the idea that rest is rejuvenating. Embrace the idea that rest restores and recharges. 10-15 minutes. Do nothing regarding the upcoming workweek…for 10-15 minutes. Then, 7 days later, extent your rest time out 5 minutes. Deep breathing exercises. Simple yoga poses. Watching cute little puppies on your social media feed. All unrelated to work and your job(s). Something, some things, to clear your mind.
10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. (Exodus 33:14 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 84: Rest…Relax…Reflect.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
