Views of the Inner Planes…and the Outer OnesbyDruidry is a word. I have often thought, itwould be a sound that comes back in time todefine a 'way of feeling' Life absolutelyinherent in the human being, in its depths aswell as in its more superficial (in the true senseof the word) feelings. I believe that this 'way'is as old as human-nature, two words thatactually define together its essence, but thatis too often lost sight for long periods and thenits re-discovery seems the beginning of a newtrail. I believe instead that it is always thesame path, which awaits us with true patiencethat only nature possesses: the one that waitsfor the right time for everything, the time toopen our eyes when we are ready to act.I fear that to talk about it in detail may be verylong. A strong and predominant religion oftenhides the natural inclinations of the spirit andthe freedom of mind but many people, more orless consciously, feel they are part ofsomething misunderstood and that a ‘creatorgod’ of a sad world lonely in space and time,is not enough. This we can experience verystrong here in Italy.At the moment I am fascinated by thetheoretical physics that increasinglyapproaches the 'innate' concepts (which willthen be declared fantasies) of differentpossible spaces and different, not visiblematerials and especially of the mutability oftime.The current Druidic thought (roots plusevolutionary enrichment in years, like anyliving thing) gives us the natural image of theflow of time in the Wheel of the Year with itssowing and the soothing returning harvests.It is able to give a human measure to thepossibilities of changing, but can 'be centred'also through the opening of our consciousnessto all the infinite possibilities.In this way the fact that the 'visible' matteris actually a space energy of attractionbetween invisible particles, has importance ifwe feel that Energy, Nwyfre, is within us and'between' us(as the ancient network of Wyrd).So compassion (cum-patio from Latin: feeltogether) becomes more a real matter of itselfand 'Peace', as non-fracture and feeling ofwell being, becomes even essential. It seemsto me that these are fundamental ideals forboth, Druidism and physics!We created a simple box: for our needs ofcertainty and answers we established formalideas as reality, useful to live without askingtoo many questions and not scare ourselvesfor the lack of limits; maybe we even suspectthat they are false but we need to giveourselves a safe outline. We do not think, forexample, that the word Nature comes from...a Latin form indicating the-things-that-aregoing to be born (so it is not present yet, butin a state of planning).Aontacht • 45
