The Arrogance and Selfishness of Conciousness

Today i was confronted with an interesting observation of life.

If perhaps on the other end of the universe, or a point in the universe far away enough such that light had to travel through millions of years; and that therein existed a star system with lifeforms which had modern-day human intelligence with societies possibly more advanced. And this star system by virtue of some cosmic phenomena were to implode and self destruct, effectively wiping out all planets and the lifeforms and their relative societies and communities that rivaled our own that inhabited it; sending light radiating in all directions, including one towards our own solar system.

And in another part of space a few million years into the future from this event and a few million lightyears away from it, which i as the omnipotent divinity of my imagination and this scenario would set - as the present in our terms; We imagine a university student perhaps camping with his mates on a field trip, in the desert on a cold cloudless night. Out of curiousity, this student stares up into the starry sky up above, and sees a small flash of light, no larger than a speck of grime and no longer than a heartbeat. A twinkering of the stars.

And with that i shall end my philosophical scenario and start with its philosophical counterpart.

Would he be able to comprehend the course of events ? and even if he was told everything i have told you in the previous paragraphs, would he be able to take in fully with his conciousness this entire destruction of a solar system that was similiar to the very one he is standing on and living in and the resultant death of an entire plethora of species of lifeforms of varying intelligence, of millions of years of evolution and the willpower expended by said lifeforms to terraform their planets and systems. Millenias of strife, war, suffering, peace and progress that resembled our own ? All the questions and conciousness of life and the universe built ontop of each other resulting in permeating layers cyclic and ad infinitum of understanding, knowledge and will. The answer is he would not. For even with his vast and limitless conciousness and intelligence (as human) that we have so extolled in our civilizations, simply for the fact that he is 1 human and 2 a self-concious being, he can never grasp the true significance and sheer divinity of this alien civilization and its existential cycle. Neither can I and especially not you, my dear average reader.

And all this as a speck of light, again, no larger than a speck of grime and no longer than a heartbeat.

The destruction not of physical bodies or materials, not of the large ziggurats these lifeforms might have built , but the destruction and end of conciousness and imagination, a seemingly voidless entity within ourselves which when compared, is still insubstantial, to a collective greater civilization and its cummulative conciousness a few million years ago and a few million lightyears away.

And how many people would listen to this and just live on ? How many of us, perhaps including myself (idavertently, my (human) memory fails on occasion) will continue being oblivious to the ways of the world and of a greater divinity than our own. How many people would continue living their lives in their fucked up societies and complain about their fucked up lives and muse and work towards obtaining the petty goals they have set up for themselves and worst maybe others for them. And is it not shocking how much more relevence this has when we relate it with our lives and in the context of our societies which; in a few milliseconds in the extended future, in the lives of our progeny, would all end only to repeat itself. Consume and distill it all. and Then Behold, This is the sheer ignorance and pettiness the human condition has for its own existence and the existence of all life and being. I am repulsed by it, yet for such insignificant objectives of a beings life (when compared to the cycle of worlds) and the defacto knowledge of the plausibility of this chain of events, motivated by pure selfishness, I have to live on.

As do you.

And in the end of said observation, i cannot help but feel that perhaps all life and conciousness - however profound - will always only amount to so little in our lives.

Developing a Mosque at Ground Zero has to be the silly plot during the history of man, I really imagine it to be purposely devised, at best, to insight controversy. I am not really a conspiracy theorist although this is either shameful or noxious, maybe both together. yolanda

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??

Stupid can be as stupid does...this whole thing really is a joke. Lindsay Lohan is going on to do narcotics as your woman will never "get it"...The whole court program is a joke. Why don't you put this lady in some jail in Cincinnati or elsewhere in Ohio where there isn't overcrowding and there's no brainless system that on a regular basis let's these people get away with ****. At the very least if this lady is going to continue to do illegal drugs she needs to be "wise" about it without get arrested...or else, continue with what you're doing Lindsay lohan and we can drop you inside Afghanistan with our amazingly bold troops who're losing their life daily to give you your foolish so-called "freedom".

Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.

Honestly, I get more traffic and search engine love from articles than anything else. I think it is funny that good old article marketing still works after all the fabulous internet marketing gadgets that have come out.

Good that Lindsay Lohan is getting determined concerning herself, she should have rehabilitation like Mel Gibson wants a shrink, with any luck lindsay should not get freed from treatment earlier on this occasion as getting let go early from UCLA was very likely the main grounds why the woman relapsed so fast in the 1st place, now i am praying for you personally all the way Lindsay, seriously you can still treat your destructive habits.

Thanks for making such a killer blog. I arrive on here all the time and am floored with the fresh information here.

I dispise becoming therefore judgmental, however Sibling wives is actually throwing weird

The good deal awaited Glee Britney Spears event broadcast yesterday evening, for the more often than not troubled however , it seems like recovering artist coming up with a notable presentation, got to adore her for this, greater than that Lohan female.

Re. Gap's logo: I can't sufficiently stress the power of the fuck I do not give.

Sen. Graham dubs Glen Beck a "positive force". Just isn't that a wee bit like calling Rick Sanchez as being a definite guru on Judaism?

Lohan Moves to Treatment Today, four weeks later she is going to be right back at it. Shame over the "star struck" process of law for encouraging this babe to ruin her lifetime. At the moment she warrants penalties not rehab.

does indeed have the daring to inform Sanchez to not ever bring mayo into corned beef on rye? He is from Miami. You may believe he'd realize.

Rick Sanchez no longer may well be com-cast might wise up & eliminate maddcow ,Olberman,Schultz & Matthews off their media reports, I've a long list to decide on

Stupid is usually as stupid does...this whole thing has been a joke. Lindsay Lohan will go on to do substances seeing as this woman won't "get it"...The entire legal procedure is a joke. Perhaps you should put this lady in some jail in Cincinnati or some other place in Ohio where there is absolutely no overcrowding and there is no daft system that constantly let's these folks get away with ****. At least if the girl is likely to persist to do illegal drugs she should really be "intelligent" about it but not get caught...or else, continue with what you are doing Lindsay and we'll drop you inside of Afghanistan with exceptionally courageous soldiers which have been losing their life everyday to provide you with your brainless so-called "freedom".

That's Shameful that any of us permit Extremist Foreign Political Characters on our soil immediately after numerous years of hatred towards our country. United states should escape the UN and teach all of them extremists our opinion of there stupid ideology. Qaddafi, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and numerous others have far to long been welcomed to this Sacred and Exceptional country. I only say Enough is enough, Shut down our doors to Hateful Bastards and Say Never again to the U.N. Leave, your NOT nor have never been made welcome.
