Which Story?


Since there is no final proof, its all a story, and we get to believe whichever story we choose. Which story do you prefer?

(1) The story about a universe that is random and has no purpose, no plot? Random particles from the void combine to form intricately complex nervous systems that somehow, just by chance, generate thought, imagination and memory. And out of this random chaos without a story we start creating... a story! Yes, we creatures of the universe can do something that the universe cannot do.

(2) Here is the other story: A boundless field of pure consciousness yearns to experience itself as an other for the sake of love, and so generates other selves out of its Self-awareness. Needing a vehicles to separate individual selves, this one supreme consciousness solidifies into matter and evolves ever more complex nervous systems, until the human body can say, like its divine progenitor, "I Am." Then, having atomized the absolute One into an infinite diversity, the process if reintegration can occur. Two selves in love become a family of love, families of love become communities of love, then planets of love, inter-planetary federations of love, galactic tribes and inter-galactic tribal pow wows of boundless love realizing its original unity as many in One, atoms in a cosmic body, glued into a single "I Am" by synapses of ecstatic communion.

Now which story do you choose to believe: the one that requires absolutely no imagination, or the one that asks you to imagine us at our best?

Besides, the story without God is soooo boring...
