Tareva - Week 2

Week two of class was somewhat of a life changing experience for me. We discussed the idea of recreating cosmos or cosmic renewal. First of all, before that week I had no idea what the word cosmos meant so thanks for that information. But most of all it made me realize exactly how often, or how easily, I, and I'm sure others, can commit to a reality before I fully understand it. I very well might have just talked in circles so allow me to elaborate. When we watched that video clip of the man trying to escape but he was lured back and then forced himself to recreate his cosmos, that blew my mind a little bit. It made me think about myself and my cosmos to which I've committed myself and I wonder, if my world were ever shaken badly enough would I recreate my cosmos or stick to missing my old one? I am a strong Christian woman and have been raised to believe in the teachings of the Gospel and that God is my Creator. People could line up around the block for miles to tell me that God is not real and everything I have been taught is fiction but I'd never change my mind. Do understand that, although I have been raised to believe these things, my life experiences are proof enough for me to believe that I am being watched over by a power far greater than any of our own. Faith plays a major role in why I believe but proof is tangible, and the several times I've witnessed miracles in my personal life are proof enough for me. Now back to the idea of cosmos, what would it take for me to recreate my own? Definitely not "he said, she said" but persecution? Slavery? Death? Scary.
