If everything is working in a reactive nature, there must have been an initial action that brought that about. Whether we are still in the reactive state from it, or that initial action is continuing to persist is another question. Just do not see how constant reaction can exist without at least an initial activator.

Our ability towards control in this world are limited to our actions, reactions, and our words, all else beyond that is outside of our control. The oneness of the world/nature/universe swallows us up, for we are not separate from it. There is a still point, that from time to time emits a new reality to our awareness, if we can grasp it, instead of simply reacting to it, and going on in the same old fashion way, as has happened for the past 5,000 plus.
