Bee-cause.

Actually, its all so very simple ER. Folks create a conundrum about the chicken and the egg. Which came first? The same can be asked about the galaxies and the stars. You can't have a galaxy without stars and vice-versa. Which came first?

We live in a world which is asking the wrong questions. We live in a world which creates arbitrary non-sequiturs like beginnings and endings. Beginnings and endings are illusory - like state lines and national borders.

It's all in man's head.

The Earth isn't a planet. It's a component. It can't be isolated off by itself. Such is beyond preposterous. It's actually asinine. It was formed and will be absorbed into its surroundings. It is a fundamental component part of them.

Only man thinks in terms of compartmentalized and imaginary beginnings and endings.

In a universe where nothing is static, identification of singular units is actually preposterous. The Earth of NOW is VASTLY, VASTLY, VASTLY different from the Earth of NOW.

You can call it a name but the name becomes meaningless when the object being named doesn't remain the same.

The Elisee Recluse that joined the HZ is a far different man now than he was before. Same is true of everyone. Names are convenient tools for man as he struggles to understand the universe around him and himself - but they are transitionary. When man has closer to complete understanding he leaves the names and the notions of beginnings and endings behind him.

The universe did not begin. It will not end. It IS.

All things are energy.

This energy is collective and is constantly morphing beyond all possible human comprehension. It is simultaneously infinite and finite in that it can be broken down into an infinite number of ideas, thoughts, expressions, things, planets, stars, galaxies, people, animals and things neither you or I can begin to imagine. Each has their place in space and time in such a universe and even those two concepts of space and time are only finite versions based upon limited perception. From other perspectives spacetime disappears and there is only a timeless, spaceless infinite universe of energy which forever defies complete comprehension.

Truth is far, far stranger than fiction. It is far removed from what we can objectively evaluate with our own five senses.

In man's present understanding the stars are nuclear furnaces that make life possible on Earth. Before that they were a chariot drawn by Apollo across the sky dutifully and before that it was the God Aten. Perception and understanding for man will change. It must change. Man's notion of what a star is will change - exactly as I outlined in the previous post.

There are no absolute truths. My truth, that stars are byproducts of galaxial motion and that they channel this energy and condense it into atomic structures will someday in the distant future be supplanted by ever bigger and greater understandings.

Everything man knows now is wrong. Everything I know is wrong, however, at least I know that it's wrong. Man sort of knows his understandings are wrong too, but our ego generally refuses to face the fact that every science text, university course and white paper ever submitted is horribly wrong. Everything we now about nature - wrong. Our bodies - wrong. The universe - wrong.

We are the most wrong creatures in the universe, simply because the animals and things make no such assertions about their surroundings or the things they interact with.

And yet in our minds we are right - or right enough - and that is good enough for us.

You are, indeed, the Prince of Lies, the Great Deceiver, the Lord of the Flies.

Quite the contrary. I am the Prince of Truth, the Great Revealer, the Lord of the Angels.

I am both and I am neither. Each takes what he will of my posts. For some they will be amazingly beneficial. For others they will be amazingly destructive. For still more they will make the smallest difference. I wasn't kidding about everyone having a little SDAI in them. Everyone also has a little ER, TB, MA, RL, Lindy, Frank, SteveS, Jody...etc...etc. It gets back to the point of each of us not being static. We absorb and reflect our environment.

I am a different person for each. As are you - and everyone else.

I am closer to the Mysterious Stranger, yet like everyone else his views were only true from his own unique perspective. I have revealed you to yourself.

for you will remain a thought...and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!
