About Me

Mankind is within the flow of the infinite. Humans evolved, exist, and will eventually become extinct, within the eternal passage of time. Man is part of endless substance; a piece of all that is. A person is made up of matter and energy that has always existed, and will always exist, in one form or another. The chromosomes you received from your parents have been passed down through generations; your genetic programming can be traced back to the beginning of humanity, and to creatures that lived prior to man's evolution. These chromosomes will persist in living things for the duration of life on this planet. Over the infinite span of time, the atoms and the energy that constitute a human being have been part of stars, planets, galaxies, other life forms; everything imaginable. When you die, all that you are will eventually return to a state of shared existence: FOREVER!.Religions that follow humanoid gods often claim that man is superior to all other living things, and is consequently, the image of God. Following this line of reasoning, we must assume God is, or was at one time, a dinosaur. Does man's intelligence make him superior to other life? Could it be that creatures that live within nature's balance, without destroying the planet, are wiser by definition, and therefore superior? Mankind has always confused intelligence with wisdom. Humans have the intelligence necessary to make sophisticated tools, and overly manipulate the environment; other creatures have the wisdom not to do so. (Fragments from "REASONED SPIRITUALITY": exploring spirituality, the meaning of life, the concept of God.)

Sounds Like: "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music". Aldous Huxley. --Placing limits on the universe is very much a reflection of human attitude. Man, being a finite creature, applies human perception to all things; and contemporary theories are more a demonstration of human arrogance, than logic.--------"Maybe the avant-garde appeals to people from our economic background, because we’re typically rejecting the older meaningful Christian values, but we’re still confused as hell." Frank Black
