The idea that the universe was born very small and very hot less than 14 billion years ago has brought our two most fundamental models of reality into collision. The paradigm of eternity that used to dominate physics tells us that nothing really changes. The paradigm of evolution tells us that everything changes and evolves. In biology, the human sciences, politics, economics, and technology, evolution reigns supreme. Until the 1960s, these theories were safely separated. Evolution was kept down to earth while the heavens were eternal.

Physics has adopted an evolutionary story of the universe while clinging to the idea of unchanging mathematical laws—a strange hybrid that throws its own foundations into question. Even scientists who consider themselves atheists are unknowingly wrestling with theological assumptions about eternal order that once belonged to God.

In my latest essay on Substack, I go into detail about the conflict between these two worldviews and ask a fundamental question: If the universe evolves, why do we assume the laws of nature remain fixed forever? And why does contemporary science rely so much on outdated political and theological metaphors of a cosmic “lawgiver?”

One tool of mindfulness that can cut through our numbing trance is inquiry. As we ask ourselves questions about our experience, our attention gets engaged. We might begin by scanning our body, noticing what we are feeling, especially in the throat, chest, abdomen, and stomach, and then asking, “What wants my attention right now?” or “What is asking for acceptance?” Then we attend, with genuine interest and care, listening to our heart, body, and mind.

To heal the split of mind and body, of self and no-self, we are called to bring respect and tenderness to both—discovering they are not different. 🍂

A single ladybug can eat up to 50 aphids a day, or 5,000 in its lifetime.

Even as larvae, they hunt relentlessly, tearing through pests before they ever grow wings, keeping gardens alive through instinct alone.

I shot this full moon over Coquet Island from about 6 miles away on Alnmouth beach in Northumberland. It’s pleasing how the mist makes it look like the lighthouse is floating. Let’s hope there are clear skies for the October Harvest moon which is a supermoon.

As we move towards the end of the weekend, thoughts turn to the upcoming week. We often prioritise our responsibilities, and whilst this is important, we need to remember to prioritise our own needs for rest and recuperation.

Why not make a daily meditation part of your rest and self-care routine? We have FREE daily guided meditations, every Monday to Friday at 10:30 & 19:00 (UTC).

Meditating in a group can deepen your practice, create a sense of shared experience and common humanity, whilst helping you feel supported and connected—even from afar. 🌍💚

Take a breath. Show up as you are. And reconnect with the present moment—together.

Why not join us!?! https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/free-resources/free-daily-online-mindfulness-meditation/
