Soulmate, Myself:
Omega Point
Foreword
return to "contents" page
The Omega Point, a term coined by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, refers to a final unified end state, the culmination of an evolutionary process, a return to oneness having once fallen from grace.
The pain of that separation is felt most acutely in this life by those who never find or, worse yet, fail to recognize their one true love or “twin flame”.
Nevertheless, this descent into the underworld is followed by restoration and a return to greater glory. Suffering is a messenger which beings us closer to God, fueling our creativity and furthering our evolution.
Both Elvis Presley and science fiction writer P.K. Dick, both insightful creative geniuses, endured a lifetime of grief over the loss of siblings, literal twins, who died in childbirth.
Once united in the womb, the pain of separation never leaves them. Dick writes, “my sister is everything to me. I am damned always to be separated from her and with her, in an oscillation”.
So it is with those who suffer the pain of separation from their one true love, a subconscious grief and longing, often masked by pleasure or occluded by poor romantic choices.
Wayne refers to Wordsworth’s “Ode To Immortality”. We arrive in infancy “trailing clouds of glory” with residual remembrance of a prior unified state, seeing the world “appareled in celestial light”.
Sadly, it does not last. “Shades of the prison house” close in and the cares of this life induce forgetfulness. But the poet draws comfort “in the soothing thoughts that spring out of human suffering; in the faith that looks through death.”
Wayne’s writing reaches the core of true spirituality, identifying separation from our beloved as the source of our alienation in this world and the prospect of re-unification as our salvation in the world to come.
