What if the asteroid belt really is the fragments of an
exploded planet? The notion is flippantly dismissed because it cannot be
deduced how such a phenomenon could occur naturally. What if the event was a
deliberate action? Why not? Is not our own world threatened by weapons of
mass-destruction? We know there are ways to annihilate beyond all reason.
The fossils of extinct apes are no more proof of human
evolution than the bones of gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans are human
remains. Unusual human fossils are no more unusual than the skeletons of
pigmies and professional basketball players. I was born with six toes on one
foot… and not because we are “evolving” more digits. Actually, we are losing parts, not evolving new ones. A theory of human devolution is more in sync with the actual evidence. Yes, we have
our growing technology but remember: humanity built its pyramids without our
modern toys. We are what we are and as such we make our own trappings.
One is the
quality of existence. All quantities, even those fractured, deficient or of
opposing polarities, cannot exist unless derived and maintained by the absolute
one. Nothing is simply nothing at
all. Giving nothing a name does not give it substance for if it is truly
nothing then there is nothing to substantiate.
What if the Big Bang was a human voice and the universe a
human creation? We imagine. We create. We give meaning to what would otherwise
be meaningless. What if there is a God and he is the first of us? Man may very
well be the measure of all things, indeed.
Animals can only do what comes naturally. Yes, we may
teach them tricks but we do so by manipulating their innate inclinations. We
may even breed them or otherwise genetically tweak them to our own ends. We may
soon design new creatures entirely. We may even change ourselves, for better or
worse. We are the only creature who can entertain such notions.
Good is flow and balance. Evil is when flow is stifled
into stagnation or balance teeters towards chaos. Good restores itself by
counteracting. Flow is restored by creating an imbalance. Balance is restored
by channeling flow. Alas, all things are clean of themselves.
A war preceded us. All our wars are offshoots of this one
and ongoing conflict. Most of the fighting is evil against evil: elites vying
for power. Vastly outnumbered and hopelessly outgunned the good find themselves
fighting alongside the wicked that the lesser evils may overcome the greater.
Ultimately, however, the strongest evil shall devour all others and good alone
shall remain to fight it. Numbers and firepower are decisive in the material
plane of existence but they prove impotent in a clash of spirit.
Every man is one man. He is less or he is more than the
sum of his parts. His nature and experiences shape what he is but who he is
must be of his own making. A man who is only his nature and experiences is a
nonentity. His life is insignificant and his death inconsequential. A man who
strives, for good or for evil, is on a path that shall take him beyond where he
finds himself. Whether heroic or villainous he shall make a difference. His
death shall not be the end of his doings.
