@withawhy,
Are we creating us? we think, therefor we are. if us were your mind's "I", for what would this be? we think, therefor we thought. subconsciously we thought, therefor we are. if thought were the gift to change what is, what does that make us? If you can read this, you can change
this. If you can change this, you
are. We simply are. We have no real guidance, no parents, no teachers and no boss. We are disciplined by our morals, we are driven by our curiosity and we are guided by our spirituality. When we realize the freedom we do have, we start to understand the true gift this is. Your body is an animal that you are controlling.
William, you bring up a good point in that we are simply traveling with this ever evolving universe. What I find interesting is as this universe evolved from the beginning of time, it has slowly spun in a way to create conscious, self aware thought. Humans are, like a spinning planet, simply creations of the universe. Perhaps self aware thought is what it is like to hear the universe evolve?
