i think that the idea that we are somehow 'less' than the (complete)creator because we have the illusion of self identity isn't as important as appreciating your self in the here and now.

is this a game to see to can figure out the truth?

is it a race to ascension?

do you think you'll receive more 'points' by getting there first?

is 3d more 'advanced' than 4d or is sequential experience/entropy just a way we can reason moving into the next phase? do we desire to get to the 'end' because we experience time as a linear progression?

i say that there is no end, perhaps the creator is the penultimate truth but we can worry about that once, and if, all becomes one (again).

at the very least, to assume that life is like school, where you can't wait for the next grade because of certain privileges promised, or you wish to have the respect that higher grades gain then you're missing out on what school really is about in my opinion.

school, the military, a job, a band or anything where there are arbitrary rules might seem like a 'logical' structure to instruct and instill discipline, but what it really is, to me and you'll have your own confirming experiences to back up my point, what it is is a bonding experience intensifier.

you might think that making a friend at school or work is a random occurrence, a mere perk or side effect of the 'real' reason that you are there.

i'm an educated man but i can't remember much of what i was taught in school, but i still remember my friends and my most treasured things are my memories of all my friends over the years.

if i was an almighty being i'd figure out a way to have a head full of warm memories of unique experiences that give me hope for better times when the present is not so enjoyable and confidence in times of being alone that i can, and will, make another friend.

life is like a school or perhaps more like military basic training, but it's not the lessons that are the important thing as much as how you interact with the people you are learning them with.

no class teaches love, no class teaches appreciation, no class teaches the joy of camaraderie, you learn those things, the real lessons, in between the curriculum.

i was in the military and i barely remember the classroom instruction but i sure remember all the people i met. being a peon was great!

being an enlisted man instead of an officer means you are the lowest and 'least important' but, you are also in the majority and like we see in star trek the next generation, it's the crew that has more fun than the captain.

poor old picard really doesn't have any friends he can pal around with, he has confidants and people who care and would do anything for him, but the only time he can get that feeling of true camaraderie is when q or the borg or the like has them by the balls.

so my point is that you can go to tibet and learn to astral travel and sit in the snow without the cold affecting you in an adverse way, but if you can't laugh at a cheesy movie like 'dude where's my car?' then you might be missing the point of why you are really here!!!!!

you are you and that is good
you may not be what they say you should
or be that which you cannot be
and you wouldn't want to be like me
but i see you as you and so
if you see me unmasked say "yo"
"what makes me me is all unique
what makes us us makes me complete"
