The Necessity of Consciousness a.k.a. God

In the beginning, the earth was without form and void.

Who, or what, beheld such a state?  In order for anything to be known to exist, there needs be an observer.  A universe without conscious beings is never known to exist, never experienced.

Consciousness is necessary.

Imagine the Possibility: A Human Essay

What if our stories of gods, goddesses, saviors, angels, devils, souls, little men and green men, are not just stories of things our ancestors couldn't explain... what if they were accounts of events that, once upon a time, happened to mankind?

Immortality is Undeniable

Suppose I suggested that you, I, and everything that exists is, in fact, immortal.  Ah, but I presume you think physically immortal, right?  Well, maybe we are eternal, physically and otherwise.  Likely, we'll never know, but let's apply the Socratic Method and see what kind of answers we can question.

The modern age, most of us, accept the existence (or possibility thereof) of alien life, ghosts, demons, and any number of supernatural, paranormal, divine, or strangeness in general.  Are we just superstitious monkeys or what?

With any such phenomena, there seems to be a clear dichotomy of those who believe it true (or believe the possibility exists) and those who do not, including those who make it their work to debunk everything unusual.

Small is Big is Small: The Fractal Nature of Reality

Everything we find in nature is a fractal, fitting into bigger and bigger replicas of itself, endless patterns, projected all around us like a hologram.  The mandala is a classic example of a fractal conceptualization of reality.

There is mimicry from one system to the next, such as a solar system being a mini-galaxy, and life composed of smaller life down to the molecules; atoms seem to act like solar systems; yet it's all just energy.

Which Mask Did You Put on Today?

We're all fake, at least some of the time.

For some of us, we become what others want us to become and we have no idea we're doing it.
