Humankind is inherently benign and will strive for a natural good. Culture, education, and "nurture" will determine one's character as benevolent, indifferent, or malicious.
The ultimate power of the mind is absolute, but humans are unable to achieve that ultimate level. We should continuously strive to expand our consciousness, through inner reflection and physical experience. We tend to replace "holes" in the ultimate consciousness with faith, placing our trust in an entity we believe has ultimate consciousness, or has surpassed it.
As physics is the study of the world as it is perceived, metaphysics is the study of what we do not, yet, understand. Our non-understanding of the unknown does not prevent us from manipulating it, just as a child does not understand how the body works but uses and answers it, despite that lack of knowledge.
This community was created to share my life philosophy with others. Everyone is welcome to express their own opinions of it. (Be warned: Anything I deem vulgar, grotesque, or otherwise inappropriate will be deleted!)
This place is an area of expression, in which I hope people will interact with each other and decide for themselves what they each believe. I ask that everyone who participates is respectful of others, and takes time to formulate their opinions so that they best convey their thoughts.
Now, please enjoy!
