After posting "Cause to Wonder" (1124869) I've been referred to your post. While I agree with you, I'd like to say that I've been writing my views for the past few days. Seventy-one views but few comments says either I’ve provoked thinking or misunderstanding.

I’m writing my memoirs for today’s children, who I give credit for thinking more than their easily managed parents. Hopefully, after they quit resenting, they will think straight.

Great imagination! I've put it in more literal terms. We have an internal self that is blocked by external gods out to steal our energy. I maintain that we each have a conscience. I trust that my conscience knows right from wrong. I trust your conscience. Therefore, the challenge is to get past all the blocks the authorities put in the way.

We each are entitled to our own opinions. What we observe becomes our reality. I'm repeating cutting edge science. "The observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation. . . Consciousness, the substance of this new-found reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality. . . We have found ways to take the measure of consciousness, to study its contact with the functions of the brain, and to discover how the mind, through the agency of the will, affects matter and transcends the limits of space and time."

We all feel your pain. I received a telephone call that fateful day from my wife, who was at work in the office of this RV park in Shady Cove, Oregon, where we live in our RV. I turned on our TV and watched the horrible tragedy over and over, until I could bear it no longer. I was writing my memoirs, and connected the event with my own experiance. My existence is legendary. After the calamity comes hope and renewal.

I've just finished writing a lengthy piece that reveals the workings of my mind. I invite you to read item #974461, "Something New to Wonder Over."

Creation Nihilism is like saying bright darkness. It spells out confusion. Often referred to as one of the first "existentialist" philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche has inspired leading figures in all walks of cultural life, including dancers, poets, novelists, painters, psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, and, yes, even including social revolutionaries.

Existentialism is about re-defining yourself in an increasingly absurd world. The authorities can't tell you who or what you are, or what your purpose in life is. The victim is one who tries to be what others expect, fails, and then lashes out, really, against himself. One must look from the inside out, from within one's own spiritual reality. It means independence and personal responsibility. You must find the will to reinvent yourself, to be the person you were intended to be.

Review of If God was a tree  
Review by The Thinker
Rated: E | (4.0)
Your contribution caught my attention because it reminds me of a story my missionary cousin told me. Many years ago he traveled up rivers in the Congo converting Congolese to Christianity. On a return visit, he was told that there was an old woman in the village who refused to give up a tree she had worshiped all of her life. The Christian converts thought they were doing her a favor by cutting it down, but the old woman died of a broken heart.

God is imagined a tree by people close to nature. On an evolutionary scale, ideas that grow and take root become part of our common human heritage. But those ideas that grow too quickly, and have little root, cannot survive the first bad weather.
