Life

The vague feeling that what is happening in Life is somehow also happening to the individual observer is true, in that whatever occurs in the Body-of-Life will eventually affect even the most distant parts.

Your allegiance must be to the life-of-Life; to its continued health and growth.  There can be no criticism of your forefathers’ race, religion and  beliefs, but you must hold your secret salute and approval only for the flag-of-Life.

There are certain parts of the circuitry interested only in change,  and there are other parts interested only in protecting the status quo.  Alright, another game:  Guess which one brought us here?

Ordinary consciousness perceives only fierce, individual skirmishes.  There is a place, however, from which the entire battle can be seen.  (And , I must tell you that this sight, will forever change your view of warfare.)

You will eventually see that the word, “Life,” would be the proper synonym for This Thing.  (But by then you’ll also realize that I could not have started off calling This by such a mundane name.)
