Expressions

Expression is a word we use to describe the "means of conveyance" of an otherwise intangible or abstract concept,quantity,or feeling.

In mathematics, specifically algebra, it's a symbol or a combination of symbols representing a value or relation to each other.
There's an order to it, and a beautiful symmetry that's most appreciated by those who understand it's language.

A2 (x+y) > X (a-y) = ?






It's what we as humans do to interface with the world, we express ourselves through our verbal and non-verbal communications and through our behaviors toward others and ourselves, the study of which is called, "psychology."




Music is also a profound method of expression.
Armies march to the syncopated rhythm of drums, people fall in love under it's "influence." Musical harmonies have a very real effect on the chemical and electrical functioning of our brains, who hasn't been enchanted by it's beauty, or somehow been moved by it's resonance within us?




In the field of quantum physics, they have whats called a "Theory of Everything." It has to do in part with whats called "String Theory" which says that at level's way smaller than we can see with an electron microscope everything is small vibrating loops.

These "loops" are thought to be the common denominator of all physical sciences and that by studying their "expressions" they could give science a whole new perspective on the physical laws which govern all aspects of life as we know it.

That's why it's called the theory of everything...

I believe that the consummate expression of anything (including science) is art...

In this instance,I prefer to think of it as a "He-art" (He, being God)

because I think that "He's" in it, He created it, and His fingerprints are all over it.

Why not? a simple loop shaped like a heart is a representation of love.

(get over the corniness of this, lol it's my theory and I'll tell it like I need to)

Like some sort of microscopic signpost that announces to us that the next stop ahead on our cosmic journey will be "love-Town." How funny would it be if some scientist was looking at these "loops" with a microscope and he turned up the power and saw an eye looking back at him? That kind of gives new meaning to the gospel hymn...

"Oh Let Us Magnify The Lord"




It makes sense to me that God would structure our world in such a way that we all have an equal opportunity to, through our own individual perceptions and aptitudes, come to know His "expression" of love towards us.


It transcends our differences, it's there in all things, it's the ultimate explanation of "matter" at any level,whether it's microscopic or as big as the universe! It's a theory that doesn't appear to rely on any deeper explanation. Personally, I don't need a microscope to see God or to witness His miracles...but then I'm not a physicist, I'm a philosopher (of sorts). We both know it's an elephant we're describing but we each have a different foundation on which to base our understanding, not of just the elephant but of our creator and the many ways that He expresses Himself, His relationship to us, and His great love for us.
