W O N D E R . . . P O S S I B I L I T Y . . . M E A N I N G . . . The only questions that really matter...the ones that keep us going...the uncertainty that makes life interesting... What is nature? What is beauty? What is life? What is consciousness? What is emotion? What is knowledge? What is love? What is happiness? We will now celebrate nature! Have you ever experienced something so beautiful, so amazing, you felt transcended... O V E R W H E L M E D W I T H B E A U T Y . . . leveled in awe of it so tranquil, so serene... Like there is something MORE to existence What is nature and beauty and why are there such things? I have spent years asking questions about nature. Some questions I do not think I have answered, some I probably cannot, and some I believe I have. You are probably familiar with these kind of questions, as you have thought of them before. All of them are worth discussing, even if we cannot find an answer. Who knows what kind of thoughts our amazing minds will come up with, now and in the future? It is the uncertainty that makes life worth living. Destiny is nothing but a made up word, created by people who feel there is something more out there but are too afraid to think seriously about it! There is MUCH more to life than the pursuit of success, money, love...these are TRIVIAL. So what MORE is there? It is easy to think that there is nothing more. That our human life does not really have meaning. BUT... We have the ability to w o n d e r . . . To KNOW . . . . . . To appreciate the beauty of nature To love!!! CANNOT LET THESE MIRACLES GO TO WASTE There is a lot to say about nature: Nature: The ultimate questions of existence: How did the universe come into existence? How did it evolve into the beautiful one we experience today? Is beauty a property of nature? Do we all know the answers, but just cannot express them, as when something is beautiful? Life: The ultimate beauty of nature. What is life? Does it have a meaning or purpose? Life possesses a beauty and wonder that begs for discussion and thought. The meaning of life question becomes easily answered if we look at life in the context of nature. Experience: Life from the point of view of the person who is experiencing it. What is this feeling of being alive? What are you? How is it that nature, seemingly inanimate, could have evolved into a thing that can experience itself? Questions about knowledge, happiness, love, emotion, success, etc. are discussed. Civilization: How sentient beings live together and advance technologically within nature's limits. It is amazing how they can come together to promote life, happiness, and a future of progress. However, there are always conflicts of interest within civilization concerning government, economics, etc., which will forever stir controversy. Possibility: What does the future hold for nature and the living world? Miracles have happened before in nature...life was born and it gained the ability to be aware. Are there more waiting for us? Artificial super-intelligence? A living universe?.... |
