First of all, no one cares about the Kardashians. lol

Also, I find that such questions invariably lead me to wondering what will happen at the end of the universe when everything becomes a single, infinitely large black hole? Does the big bang re-occur at that point and start everything over? I ask because if we're dead, and unconscious of the passage of time, then the end of the universe is coming very quickly and suddenly for the majority of us.

Of course, I also have wondered at times if the DNA of offspring don't carry some piece of our conscious awareness forward, similar to the stories in Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine where all of humanity has a collective subconsciousness that reality forms from where we live on past the destruction of the mere physical aspects of ourselves.

Then, there's David Wilcock's book, The Sourcefield Investigations. What do you do after reading something like that?


But seriously, I find Plato's The Cave analogy, while predating astrophysics by several millennia, seems to describe our reality with uncanny accuracy. I can see a convergence in the future where science becomes indistinguishable from metaphysics--if we as a species survive that long.

Regardless of whether or not the future will ever happen, I'm beginning to feel that the only thing that matters in the universe is now. This moment, right now. That is all that can be definitively said to exist, and if we are not doing everything we can to lift our species out of the darkness of ignorance, then we are failing as a human being. A human being is called a human being because it requires action--you're a human being, not a human already became. It requires sober responsibility from within.


The things that worry me the most, now that I think about it, are the removal of moral absolutes from our society because that is the underpinning of culture and civilization. If someone is allowed to "move" the goal posts of right and wrong based on whim, then we as a species are doomed. Yes, you may be able to legally display a Satanic Statue publicly, but that doesn't remove the necessity of humans needing a symbol of pure evil to be able to look towards the symbol of pure goodness. You can't have light without darkness; otherwise, how do you know it's light? Diminishing such fundamental poles by watering down and making light of their absolute domains waters down our responsibility as a species to move away from darkness and into the light, regardless of religious background, or not.


That is why I say, perhaps at the ultimate level, good and evil are nothing more than the two poles of creation and entropy? But we as a species need these poles whether we know it or not because they define the boundaries of civility and humanity.


Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a tangent--what takes me but a second to conceive in the blink of an eye takes me paragraphs to describe because words fail me. This is constantly circling my thoughts--this and many variations and permutations thereof.


Fear is exhausting.
