WHO IS THE MATER WHO MAKES THE GRASS GREEN? - page 1 of 2
|
Some of you may have heard this before (especially if you are one of my
children, or friends,) but for the ones who did not and for the ones who may not
remember it too well, here it is, black on white (or some other two contrasting
colors that will enable the reading of this.)
The way that color vision works is like this: The white light of the sun
actually includes all the colors of the rainbow in it. When that light shines on
something, that object is absorbing most of the colors except one.* So if it is
grass that we are talking about, the grass is absorbing all the colors of the
spectrum except green. And so, the funny part is that we actually call the grass
green when in reality, it is all colors except green; Green is the one color
that it rejects. So when you say the grass is green, you are actually
subscribing to a preconceived notion that everyone else holds on to. The truth
is that: GRASS IS ANYTHING BUT GREEN.
Here is another thought for you to examine: Science says that green is the color
with a wavelength between 5000 and 5400 angstrom units. It cannot however tell
us how that looks to you, or to me. I can accept that everyone who can perceive
colors, calls the color that occupies that part of the spectrum green, but no
one can prove to me that what they actually see is the same thing that I see,
even though we give it the same name.
So here is the point that I am getting to: You, of course are the master that
makes the grass green. Not only do you make it so by decree (as I was trying to
demonstrate in the previous paragraph,) you also make it so by your very
existence. Because let us face it, without some kind of sentience to construct
all of these elaborate theories, languages, perceptions, etc., none of this
would be available, nor indeed necessary.
So, to take this little thought exercise a little further, you need to embrace
the concept that the goings on in the exterior world, are all forwarded to your
brain by your senses but the interpretation is taking place in your own, private
and personal brain. Science can explain all of that for the rest of eternity,
religion may preach at you till it is blue in the face and your mom may box you
ears when you misbehave, but none of them can actually change the fact that the
one thing that gives life and existence to all of creation is, your, own, brain.
Any one thought that you hold about morals, religion, science and so on, is
totally and absolutely your own interpretation of whatever it is that is really
out there.
