It Speaks!

Believe it or Find Out Yourself Series : I

Its absolutely unbelievable. I looked up a popular online encyclopedia on what science has to say about the issue of life. The topic is listed but it pronounced a definition of life as comprising 7 principles … that it undertakes metabolism, reproduction, homeostasis, growth, adaptation, organization and response to stimuli. By this definition most people my age would be considered half dead.

With regards to the meaning of life, science on that same page in the encyclopedia advises the reader to look up philosophy and religion. My attention therefore naturally strayed elsewhere.

I was looking to affirm my interest in the anaerobic processes in the human body that influences our minds without we being entirely conscious of it. As an aerobic experience its perhaps not possible for air breathing man to come into contact with an understanding of this in our lives. No doubt a large number of people may have stopped right here and taken that leap across the anaerobic divide into faith in God.

I reflected on the fact that I had tried my very best … my conscience is clear … there is nothing more that I can do. I drew the line in the sand and was ready to close what has been 38 years of devoted study on the subject. Then all of a sudden it spoke to me!

It said it was there before the lives of the aerobic … that it guided the breathing life and was in turn guided by it in a curious case of common cooperation between man and the forces of creation ... back to the encyclopedia … it affirmed that anaerobic life ruled the world before the atmosphere was created and then diminished its activity to share with the breathing mammals.

I think I managed to respond by saying that man needs to know and understand … that we cannot live by bread alone. It feels like dying inside. To my surprise it answered that it is imperative for man to know … a little at a time … it is part of the design of the life and the universe.

I realized then that I hadn't been much of a man of faith my entire life to-date but something in the manner I encountered assured me that that's not important … that faith is not separated from other issues of life. Each follows his own nature on the issues … Believe it or find out yourself.

there's the dust, and there's the organizing principle of the the dust, that together define the stations of life; it has taken this long to look like us...as far as going on from here is concerned, for our facet of the life manifestation, we will have to somehow survive our current accent of thought(lessness)
