Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life The quest for truth and the meaning of life: 1 of 38
Our quest to understand the Truth and Meaning of life begins before we even learn to walk; it's natural for us to propel ourselves around "Seeking" and this self-propelled inquisitiveness becomes more complex and intricately directed the older we get. The day I first formed an actual idea of a "quest" in life is still very cl... More..
Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life How we think about time: Philosophical and practical implications: 1 of 21
Our thoughts about Time have a very straightforward purpose and Aristotle's simple observation from thousands of years ago is just as easily applied today as it was then: "Time is the measure of change." And that measure of change as we experience it occurs in the local World of our everyday life. Just as we measure t... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The philosophy of time: 1 of 18
Time begins and ends with us; the Perceiver in the tight grip of the perceived and it is our captivity within the confinement of our immediate world's time that binds our imaginative thoughts when we attempt to pierce the mystery of our existence itself. But time is not a bandit that has taken us hostage but the giver of our ... More..

The momentum of 20th century Science's amazing trajectory has produced a fusillade of new perceptions.

Sciences > Physics Is time real or relative?: 1 of 17
All of Reality as we perceive it is Relative Awareness and ambiguous Time, one of the three essential prerequisites for that perception, is no exception: Time is Concrete & Abstract; Practical & Relative; Finite & Infinite. But, despite its elusive and intricate nature, Time is very Real and a simple look at its ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Awareness & Reality Understanding the concept of reality: 3 of 48
Reality is an Experience.And with a hundred people come a hundred Realities experienced in solitude, an inner self. How many times do we try to express it and fail, awkward with words and meanings? Life is streaming complexity that's difficult to comprehend let alone express; and the farther we reach out into it the farther i... More..
Arts & Humanities > Philosophy (Other) The prime motivations of evil: 1 of 16
From Dante's Inferno and Swedenborg's Hells through the Horsemen of death and pestilence from the New Testament's Apocalypse, the word EVIL conjures images of filthy caricatures streaming forth from the bowels of Hell to visit the sword of Doom upon a besieged Mankind.And while this exquisite vision of Evil versus Right has d...

Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life Navigating the journey of life: 2 of 30
As the only navigator and driver of my life, I'm not always awake at the wheel, which is probably why I hit so many trees along my youthful road of exuberance. But looking back, I wouldn't change a thing because Life is for the living if we have the guts to grab it. And survive the ride while enjoying it through that stage of... More..
Arts & Humanities > Awareness & Reality Attempting to define reality: 4 of 54
Each of us envisions a unique World as our Awareness incrementally expands in unison with the motion of the three dimensional World around us. This is Objective Reality guiding us into existence because Human Awareness without motion would be meaningless while motion, without human Awareness, would be pointless. And Life ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Awareness & Reality Lying alters the vision of reality: 2 of 18
While beautiful "Visions of Reality" can be imbued with sublime truths of human experience , "Truth" as it appears in our daily life still remains an ideas' conformity to objective "Facts", many of which we've relied on other people to give to us untainted. And these common daily "Truths" we use for practical, everyday purpo... More..
