Anti-Matter

"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree."
Albert Einstein

     When the universe first began, the Big Bang created both matter and anti-matter. Since they destroy each other on contact, one particle of each creating as much energy as the Hiroshima bomb, it would seem logical that they destroyed each instantaneously. But this an illusion.  Anti-matter still exists but science doesn't know what to call it yet. The most likely label, for now, is dark matter. What it is and how it affects us remains to be seen.
     This fascinates me and also makes me think. What about yin and yang and the battle of good and evil? In the first instance, the forces of light and dark balance one another and, together, create a whole, a One. In the second, the war  between the two seems never-ending and unsolvable. I have to ask myself the question "How are we, as a humanity, creating separation in a universe that is built on inter-connectedness? "
     I believe this is a battle, we fight in our minds, made manifest every day when we make judgments of "good" or "bad".  The sun can't shine every day or we have drought just like rain every day brings floods. If matter follows mind, which appears to be true, the world is in dire need of balance!
