Happy Shiva Ratri! Friday, Feb. 12, 2010 is the festival dedicated to Shiva, the archetypal deity who teaches us about destruction, rebirth, time and change.I often speak of Cern, in Geneva, Switzerland. It the world's largest particle physics lab and at the forefront of advanced physics. This is where a little thing called the World Wide Web was created. Cern has a Dancing Shiva statue in its front yard to honor the wisdom of the ancients and as a reminder that clarity of vision looks both ways- to the past and to the future.
"For modern physicists, Shiva's dance is the dance of subatomic matter."
Fritjof Capra, physicist
Shiva's sound vibration, His cosmic phone number, is
Om Namah Shivaya
"I embrace change."
PS: Cern has a 17 mile long, underground particle accelerator. They are in the midst of experiments which collide particles at ultra high speeds. One of the things they are looking for is the "Genesis or God Particle" in hopes of proving the Big Bang Theory!
