Mind before matter
Or matter before mind,
What does it really matter?
Asked a distorted mind.
After all, we are here
And that’s all that matters,
Down with the rhetoric
And the empty chatter!
If the matter on the mind
Were as simple as that,
We would be like the flies
Or the mosquitoes we zap.
But clearly, we are not
Since we are able to think,
Though like mosquitoes and flies
Some dare to sink.
There is an oft made expression
“It’s mind over matter”
Yet when we think of our origin
It is unscientific chatter.
We mindlessly declare
A Big Bang as first cause,
That is matter over mind
And matter gets the applause.
Matter begot matter
Through a Big Bang!
And upon this lack of science
Most of the world hangs.
Let’s examine this
And see where it leads,
Don’t use your mind first
Start with matter, please!
Here we have matter
Without any mind
But it is difficult to push on
No mind to incline.
No progressive thought
In fact, no thought at all,
Hence, mind first, I applaud
And matter first, I appall
What is interesting is…
That the mind thinks
And if it doesn’t act on matter
Then matter stinks.
No, it’s not an expletive
I simply mean decay,
That’s what happens to matter
If the mind has no say.
The laws of thermodynamics:
The law of entropy:
Without the mind
There is just depravity.
Any matter left on its own
Will deteriorate over time,
However, that deterioration slows
When acted on by the mind.
God is the preserver
Of all we see and know,
His is the supreme mind
That the entire universe shows.
This may be difficult
To conceptualize in the mind
But it is all that makes sense
Re the origin of matter, space and time.
Mind first then matter
Not matter then mind,
God is the creator of matter
And even space and time.
Science supports this
God is the first cause,
It’s mind before matter
God gets my applause!
