We either rely on a materialistic, near nihilist view that this sensory world is it and there is NOTHING after it, or we go to the other extreme and create the GOD-we-want in our own image (and give THAT god the power to send us to annihilational torment or eternal bliss).<BR/><BR/>I say that using and being obsessed with the props of this material existence as part of our curriculum vitae of evidence IS the fallacy of human culture. This "lif" provides us with the "space" to have the introspective reflection and KNOW that we are more than our tribal and temporal coincidences. <BR/><BR/>We are the revelation of our genetic package as it responds to the vibrtions of willful and subconscious stimuli aggregating themselves to break through the coccoon of cultural domestication to alert us to the serendipitous presence of a consciousness that we are its appendage and it is our mentor (and guardian "angel"). <BR/><BR/>This presence, and we as its extension, exist to apprehend, mutate, and transcend. This existence give us that affectational aesthetic which other forms have to a liited degree due to their effectual aesthetic of being in the operational cycle of existence.<BR/><BR/>We are outside, abstractly, to this cycle to attain that level of consciousness that will feed and enhance the cycle on our return.<BR/><BR/>Abagad-diablo@excite.com<BR/><BR/>Gratuities accepted at www.paypal.com account, Pr_Arjuna@yahoo.comhereticalpolemicisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04555369508253277915noreply@blogger.com
