All Things Considered

I haven't posted in a good while, but I'm back now with something terrifyingly immense. I've had my fill of shitty experiences for the last couple months and it's time to let it all burst out in my blog.
   I've entitled this entry "All Things Considered" because I have taken into consideration not just only my own life or even the lives around me, but the whole world, the whole universe in fact. This is it, this is the big one.

   I can't go through life anymore with the feeling that I'm the only one of my kind. The only one that at least semi-understands this world and the people that live on it in all it's complexity and spontaneity. I feel as if it's too much for one person to possibly comprehend or process on their own. It's something that we, the most intelligent of our kind; as a race, as a creed, need to piece together slowly over our remaining existence in this universe.
   This is no easy task, and I am by no means trying to figure it all out on my own. I am merely contributing my own small piece so that others ahead of us may put it all together someday.
 
   Let us start with what we know already:
We know as humans that we are VERY complex organisms that have evolved for millions of years from the very dawn of life on this planet. As far as we know by any real evidence that we are alone in this universe, and the universe itself being something that we perceive as being the immense and infinite formations of matter throughout space and time.
   But, everything that we base our theories, our thoughts, our actions, and our meaning to life on is the fact that we can only perceive and observe a very small fraction of the world around us. Our five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Those are all we have to build off of when we try to figure out how this universe moves and forms.
   Imagine for a second that in addition to your five senses, you had 3 more: the power to observe the entire electromagnetic spectrum in all it's glory, the ability to sense the atomic forces of matter, and the power to feel the flow of space-time. The universe would seem like an entirely different place to a person like you or I when all we have ever know is a place that seems completely devoid of 99% of what it actually consists of.
   We would have no need for the things that make us "human" anymore; religion, culture, philosophy, war, peace, thought and emotion, all things created in the minds of creatures in the limited physical form and that would seem meaningless when compared to being one with the universe. To have total and unquestionable understanding of the universe and it's workings. We would no longer take physical form, we would exist as an entity in the very foundation of energy itself.

   To know absolute truth, to see the answer to the question that we have been asking for thousands of years. If only the entirety of the human race had this understanding. We could focus on science and technology instead of the primitive conflicts that bind us to our animal ancestry, they limit our movement forward and delay the days that so many of us wish would come. The time of redemption, ubiquity, and acceptance into the heavens alongside the other great intelligences in the universe. The other races that so long ago realized how limited they were by their material bodies and finally extended themselves into a much higher plane of existence, one we cannot even begin to understand.

   We are perhaps thousands or even hundreds-of-thousands of years away from these happenings, but we have to start somewhere, right?

  2. I think you're a little misguided, but it's better to be erroneously thinking about it than not to be thinking at all.
