I swear, the more I deal with all of this, the more I become convinced it is like learning a new language. That's not a new thought. It's recurred over the years.
The weird part is that the language includes new concepts, not just a new arrangement for the same old precepts, as is the case with learning a new, prehuman language.
It's also like looking at a picture of life for a lifetime seeing one thing and, slowly beginning to detect that the image is not what it seems and where the creepy-crawlies squirm. The image of a human existence is far, far different. That will be a developiing image from sometime hence.
You can convey a lot with the old concepts to explain the new, like if there is any god, it is us. In that case, I am redefining the purpose and meaning of the word god.
I don't mean to say that I can magically move a mountain with my mind. But, I would bet against the old versions of gods before I would bet against a future human making it happen at some point in the future.
I've other efforts of higher importance and more rational expectations to clarify first and, also, I'm very afraid I am facing a roadblock beyond my capability to get around it.
What worries me most is that the roadblock may very well roll right over me in the next couple of months before I get to do the one thing I have been looking forward to. Who knows? Maybe it's just indigestion.
No worries. It will be as it will be. I'll move a mountain when I can and if it becomes necessary. Not likely in this lifetime but, maybe, that's the point. The old gods were about the past. Humanity is about the future*. I don't think it will be happening in this lifetime for me, though.
I should have a lot to add to this one but I'm not sure. It's a tricky one.
I guess the obvious one is the word love. Our understanding of the concept is but a faint whisper of all there is.
I am beginning to think that I won't get further with this insight. It will be up to someone else to expand on it as we become human.
*I italicised that sentence because I think it is important. Not as important as getting humanity to realize it can be human but important all the same. Again, I think I will be leaving it to future humans to expand on the concept.
