Everything that has happened in life up until now...only happened one way. Everything has been a giant progression moving forward. Life has grown into what we are experiencing right now, and it is continuously growing.

So when we talk about seeking the truth or enlightenment, isn’t that to say that there is some sort of baseline…and we’re just becoming more aware of it.

We are just the tail end (or front end rather), noticing the rest of the line. And maybe that’s what awareness is. And maybe that’s what religions call their truth...the beginning of the line. But isn’t any assumption we make (on life a.k.a. this line), not going to be as good as the one we make further down the line.

So anything that was theorized 2,000 years ago is clearly not going to be as mature of an observation as could be made today. Therefore the concepts of god and lots of other stuff in religions are all just immature ways of ‘life’ (us) becoming self aware. I think there is so much proof that as we evolve, we as a system become comparatively smarter.

I think it’s pretty obvious that life is a system. But we’re just one part of it. We’re not the be-all-end-all; we’re just PART of it. How can just part of a system understand the whole thing…for that to happen, we’d have to be the whole system. For example (and this a poor example, but you’ll get the point), does a cell in an organ such as your kidney understand the rest of your body? No, it just knows it’s a kidney and to do its kidney functions. So if humans are all just cells in the ‘organ’ of humanity in the ‘body’ of life, why do we assume we can understand life. Shouldn’t we just acknowledge that there is more out there, but we obviously don’t understand it yet? At least not completely. And definitely not as completely as some people (religions) tend to assume.


SO, isn't it obvious that our thinking today will never be as clear as it will be in the distant future.
