लिविंग इन सिलेंस; बेत्वीन फंतासी एंड अम्बिशन

it's a caustic world we live in, and the causes we create to drive our lives in the forward direction can sometimes be a little difficult to find and unfold. It isn't all that uncommon to see greatness when in a position like this. In fact, it can be those very thoughts that keep one from stepping out of the boundaries lain before them. I suppose it's a matter of aptitude, but before that realization comes one might need to caste aside any doubts of self-worth and encourage greatness in that what they do. Commit to action, and accept the change thereafter; a few words of encouragement for myself. :)

she blinded me with science!

What would you say if i here proposed that science AND religion could converge, build upon one another and be no more different than what they were other than being a bit more edgy?; the concepts are still the same, but what they can offer each other is just too valuable to go unnoticed any further. already, if you look at the evolution of what people conceived of as truth in Christianity, i.e.: world history, as in the creation story, as in the world is much older than what an uneducated view of the bible says it is, we see that science has given us the physical evidence to show that the creation story is totally intended to be a metaphor, a parable for the birth of the universe and the introduction of mankind as rational beings amidst a "garden" variety of plants and animals...that we have the ability to tend to whether or not we choose to feel obliged. Science has given us this. That alone tells me there is more to be had, that we can't just make this cut off that says, "okay, to this point science's explanations are okay, but after that it just can't be." That, to me, is close-minded, ignorant, and a whole bunch of other things that doesn't speak well of those who refuse to open up to these ideas. I see religious people, namely Christians, who are coming to terms with what science says today about our universe. Gradually people are opening up to it because they are thinking it through. They see all of our images of the deep space and see there is quite a bit more to our physical universe than once imagined. They see the fossils dug up out of the earth for what they truly are, not as tools placed there by a malevolent force to throw us off. And they see all the feats we've accomplished in micro-science, studying aspects of atomic structure, cell growth, and even further in quantum particles. We're discovering new particles all the time, cosmic particles that simply make such little sense that it's almost nonsensical to think of them as real, but the proof is in the experiments.
There exist quantum particles that are so incredibly basic and small that they just simply pop in and out of existence all the time. Even more that can simultaneously appear to exist in two places at the same time. Not just two pieces of one appearing in two places, two of the SAME particle. The speed of which is so fast that time itself is thrown out of the equation. Time no longer applies to it, the laws of physics cease to be relevant, chaos theory takes the stand.
All of these very interesting points are being recognized by the misinterpreters of ancient texts, and much needed benefits are being had. They themselves benefit from the knowledge of such so their world grows that much more, and we too benefit because there are that many more people understanding more how the world functions, so we're all on even ground, so to speak.
I think it's only a matter of time before we begin to put the two together; this newer version of science that allows for fantastical things to occur and religion today that is full of open-minded fans. If you also take in to account the very fact that the mind itself is still so very confusing, performing in ways that astound even the most affluent in that field of study, one must, I feel, reach a conclusion that there is no conclusion and there is something that links our minds to the universe in a way not really talked about in the open. A general connection to the universe feels like a connection to Divinity.
I feel like I'm getting too far away from the point I was attempting to make here, or not coming close enough. I think when you come right down to it we haven't, in either of these two fields, the capacity to allow for the essential keys necessary for bridging the gap, so to speak. In other words, I do not think we know, or accept, certain things about them that would allow us to do so. We need to look further into the future for these, when our knowledge of scientific law is greater then previously imagined. Don't worry, it will be. The rapid evolution of science from even 100 years ago until today tells me there is plenty of room for improvement. And, on religion; when the majority of the world become active participants in the very concept of, and not only that but some of them learn to correctly interpret the teachings of the religion that they've grounded their very being in, we can move forward here as well, into (I kind of hate to say it but) a sort of "brave new world" where open-mindedness is a leading exponent for society, not erred judgment and moot concepts of togetherness.

where the mind leads the blog will follow

Here we go again; fresh start number 2. Man, when you've got nothing to say, these things don't exactly go easy. How about religion? Is it just me, or does it seem like religion as a whole is kind of making it's way towards the lime-light? I don't want to say it's quite fading, but it really seems like it's at the back of people's minds any more. Interest in it is fading; the interest in discussing all the atrocities committed in it's Benefactor's name, in arguing simple details or opinions like how one religion isn't quite as "good" as another. I think these folks have finally started to listen to all of us who tend towards denouncing their views as "ignorant" or even in a way perverse. Despite this simple observation I still notice a decline in even the healthy discussion around world religions. Perhaps this apparent careless attitude is just a mere understanding of sort appearing so to be careless and immobile. Perhaps the majority of us have come to terms with diversity in the realm of religion, and realized that the plethera of choices there are to base one's faith in Divinity have no real boundary besides their own shortcomings; which are no more than instances of people in power with motive to a) cash out, and b) force people into a set way of thought that would give leaders power over them as such that the only way to truth is in "what we tell you is truth". So history was changed, and with it a world-over way of thought of what Divinity means to us. With this new time we are beginning to see that certain religions are not what they were really made to be. I really speak of Christianity and it's fall throughout the middle-ages, and with it Islam. It was really just prior to and through the time of the crusades where ideas of the first were altered to fit the greedy. Then with propaganda spreading about the latter throughout Europe, and the Muslim's new-found spite for anything Christian, we see a rip in the validity of teachings in both religions.

flow on o nervous one of the Light

seeking a common thread ...

Okay, I really need to pull this thing together; i.e. this blog with at least a little bit of consistency regarding content. I suppose I could just rant about any old thing that comes to mind at any given time, but I think to really help my cause it would be good to develop some rhythm here. So that being said, I can already for-see a potential trend: I will maintain this blog, in its beginning, with spouts of how I desire consistency in written word and how this desire may ultimately give me the upper hand, allowing me to actually open up the necessary pathways neurologically speaking that will lead to some....desired effect. You've heard of "where the mind leads, the body follows"? Well here it's more where the mind leads the blog will follow. I suppose if I want it bad enough, and it's meant to be of course, these initial postings may just lead me to an actual concrete idea that is actually worth devoting time to.

Let's see here.....I am finally getting started with this blog. I've had such writer's block the last few months that even a simple blog seemed like taming ants. Though I think I shouldn't try so hard to write, for futility seems more present around my work than ever. I've known this too, but still persisted. Maybe I've just been "here" too long. Here being; living at home with my parents, at a ripe ripe age of twenty-five no less, with barely an ambition in mind that I could be really proud to say I possess...except of course for this: I want to be a writer. I so desire the prospects of being a writer. I believe with the very core of my being that it is in my blood. So I am left here, in the process of gathering my thoughts, preparing for the 'big show'. Although it appears I am late for work, so I must be off.
