Some notes on the first exploration of our separate wordviewsAre we apes or angels?Are we humans, simply animals like the rest of the animal kingdom? Do some among us have special powers? ( Whatever did they do before electricity? ) What happens when we die? Is there some type of life after? Is there some type of spiritual life before death? Are we all in this together, or is it, "Every person for themself!" Is the planet big enough for all of us? Why are so many sick, starving, dying of thirst, dying from left over bomblets and land mines and anti-vehicle mines? Is it because they are not europeons? Is there any reason to fair, honest, just? [ Mr. Wayne that's about values. ] Right, that's morals and values. Looking back on/at your moral and religious education, your "formation morale", your religious instruction . . . what did they have to say about such things? About apes and angels? How do I understand human nature? What kind of being am I, are we, if there is a "WE". We have among us many different perspectives on these issues. What are the questions and problems we are dealing with because of irreconcilable contradictions on the way we see things, what we understand them to be, and how we value them. These differences in the way we view the world we find ourselves in - even me now at 60, compared to me at 16. 2004 - 1960. Between my "Me" then and this "me" now. With the cold war on - cold because no one was dying in battle at least not in the USA! nor in the USSR. Now referred to as Russia, then as well, but officially it was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, USSR. Too much politics! Politics and power is what "keeps us free". We'll get to that later. apes or angels... body, animal - - - mind, spirit - - - floating free in dream and fantasy, in nightmare and phobia . . . . so much down there below the surface. And the animal of us, a single fertilized ovum becomes transformed into a separate seed human. and with the connect through the placenta and afterwards the milk grows cell by cell by cell into just me or you just now just cell by cell-ing it. Though I've heard it said I at my age am losing my cells, especially my mind/brain cells, bit by bit. when I was your age I would say . . . We have a spiritual dimension to us, it is the primary dimension because it is my eternal self. Of course "it" is Me, talking to you through this typer. Word-ing the dimensions of my mind/brain. Reaching back 44 years to the beginning of the sixties. Me as soul being at the moment of my death. It goes to heaven if I die in a state of grace, blessed with the cleansing mercy of the precious blood of Jesus, the son of God who sacrificed himself for us. Now I say, "What a strange image?" I will share a faith statement with you... The manifestation of God is compassion. Where there is love energy towards a new born child there is a hint of the Great Spirit flowing through all of us. It is not complicated. Where is the truth? This is hard to write... I don't like writing essays. Staying on the track of this exploration. So much time between 16 and 60. The problem is I am able to compare, you have only hearsay. Is there a dimension to our reality that transcends our human dying? Copyright: Wayne E. Paquette, Kirkland, Québec, Canada.
