It makes you wonder

I makes you wonder how chance happenings determine who we are and what we are. If your great grandmother had not turned the corner at a certain time and seen a particular man you would not be here your descendants. If that rake had not met the serving maid  on the secluded stairway to the battlements and the silver coins hands in agreement in those long ago medieaval times, you would not be reading this. In fact a myriad elements had to be just so at a particular instant of time for this experience this existence to occur just now.

    There have much science fantasy  written of parallel universes . How fantastic is the concept?  Our minds conditioned  to adapt successfully in the here and now, might find it hard to believe in unlimited universes  or cohesians of matter in infinite complexities, governed by  diverse laws of physics relevant to that dimension.

  Logic says  if matter is infinite all  possible interactions of matter given unlimited time, should, and if so then somewhere in time in space immesurable an “almost” you are doing almost the same thing you are doing now.

 Then again the Chinese boxes , the one onside the other inside the other inside the other infinitely.   And why not.?The universes may be smaller or larger dimension-wise,  we are on the atom of the leg of the proverbial chair which is in a universe which is an atom of a chair etc… Yes I can believe that possibility.

  May it be that all minds are united on some level, the cat on the parapet with auntie Sue completely extensive y with all other living matter. I am not sure but I sense,( perhaps erroneously) that this is so. In some states of consciousness one is sure that it is so. How can this be proven? I do not know. It has been conjectured that identical twins have some kind ,of mental or soul connection. Yes, it is uncanny how they act similarly at a distance throughout a period of time, but this could be just parallel development. There are stories and testimonies of one twin being affected by the death of another without the death being communicated, but are they just stories.

 Atheists and I have been one, spend an awful lot of time affirming there is no God. I have been to meetings of atheists who  in turn relate their experience of how they know there is no God. At a meeting I ran foul of the group by questioning the need to continually reiterate the non existence of something which continually  preoccupies them.

 I think that there always has been a need to believe in a unifying force. This belief bonded groups and thus they survived better than the less inter co-operative groups and over many generations the belief became part of the inherent set of tendencies , just as akitten will play with a ball of string and a dog will revolve around several times before curling up to sleep. It is said that is because his jackal ancestories made a circular nest on the grass.

   One does not have to  believe in God and  a professed belief  might be insincere  Still  is convenient socially should one happen to adhere to the faith of one’s group even insincerely.

 “ Logical” minds are  wary of the term god and most times reject it    Ina position of power  usually having another faith revealed to them as the true path,  such a  al   want to eliminate opinions and thought oposed to their correct ideas from revisionism or superstition. to eliminate revisionist lesser minds who persist in superstition.

  To little avail, because the belief in many forms is inherent in human beings, and maybe not just  in humans. Chimps have been observed staring reflectively as a group at a sunset.

    In times of stress it helps to put hands together and sit with the palms of the feet touching. It helps to chant in a low tone melodically even if the words are nonsense.

I say I am going to commune with my ancestors to myself and with hands and feet together I ask my ancestors questions and after awhile I get answers. If I were a Christian I would presume it is Jesus or God answereing my prayers. For me ancestors works .  I suppose it must be tapping into a store of inherent knowledge in another part of the brain.

 It might be also that  I am increasing the awareness of  the wtwo sides of the brain though touch, since the left hand side controls the right arm and leg etc. So I am joining uo muyself all the parts of my awareness and so I feeling greater. Yes, I feel a sense that some peoople might call God.

   My belief is too scientific and explanatory to the fundamentalists and  atheists might look on me as a traitor to their cause. So I am a man caught in limbo, as the Catholics say.
