In the Shadow of it all

Am I the only one who contemplates our immense multiverse and the complexity of it all?  If you are familiar to me you probably are also aware that I openly do not subscribe to the idea of a divine creator as the architect of all things we perceive within this reality.  If you agree with me or simply feel I have punched a one way ticket to hell is neither here nor there really.  I respect your opinions on the matter and can only share with you the sources of my dissension.  I also did not begin this with the intention of arguing the point of god or no god today, but instead was moved to write on the fascinating world around us and how I am in complete awe of it all.  I'm not talking about the direct observations we make around us but instead I literally get a headache when I start to contemplate the worlds within our own that tend to only be fleeting thoughts to the average person. I'm talking about things such as god particles, the realistic possibilities of time and space,and multi-dimensional existence. Within science it seems that anything we can imagine is within reason but has yet to be dissected and successfully manipulated by man.  In particular my brain begins to ache when I try to understand that time itself can be non linear and that the three dimensional world we perceive may not be the end all.  Parallel universes, time travel, dark matter and energy.  They're ideas beyond my own understanding and is obviously reserved for the Stephen Hawkings of the world to even to begin to truly understand.  Perhaps this is why people use a deity to explain away what they don't understand.  Life just becomes so much simpler.

Here comes the sun.....

    Well I promised myself that I would expand on my thoughts a little more today.  Rather new to the idea of "blogging"  and still getting familiar with the nuances of posting, sharing, tracking etc.  I had assumed that most likely I would have little to no people actually checking my posts out but if I'm understanding it properly I have had a handful of visitors.  To those who have invested the time I'd like to first thank you for your interest and secondly motivate you to respond.  My ideas are neither absolute or without flaws so I always appreciate a differing opinion followed by a strong debate of course.  My only request is that if you do have the courage to engage me that you do realize that no differing opinions or disagreements should be taken personally.  I refuse to judge others on the ideals they maintain and just request the same due respect in return. 
    Now that we have established some ground rules I promise that if you do decide to read on the core motivation for me sharing is to stimulate thought.  Once you assume everything you believe to be an inarguable truth you have denied yourself your true nature as an investigative and imperfect being.  We can only find wisdom through the understanding that we understand nothing.  Most of what we know is a matter of perception or derived from an outside influence.  Unoriginal ideas we collect, assume, manipulate and call them our own.  What bothers me is the inability for the average person to be able to realize there are no "truths".  What you have heard or seen has more than likely been spoon fed to you with self serving purposes.  Examples of this can be found throughout history in the realms of politics, religion and social caste systems.  "Ideas" appear to be created to control people. Amazingly they truly are very successful in this effort and each and every single day I see people around me following these "ideas"  blindly without resistance.  To say I am not a victim of them would hypocritical, but I assure you I have learned to constantly question and follow a path guided by logic and reason.  I'd like to assume that these two principles have freed me from the bonds of popular opinion but in reality it probably has polarized me from most of my fellow man.  Even if they aren't brave enough to say it to my face I can see their disdain in their eyes and face.  I often feel encouraged by this reaction because it usually means I have succeeded in stepping away from the norm.  Their obvious disgust has become to me a symbol of jealousy.  So afraid to abandon all they have been taught they have no choice but to recoil like a hand to the flame.  Maybe.  Or maybe I'm just fucking crazy.

And then there was light....

   Sitting here on the cusp of the New Year, I have decided to start the "blog" I've been mulling over for some time now.  Call it a resolution or an attempt to put into words the endless thoughts rattling around in my brain, either way I hope that it will both last and bring peace to my aching mind.  It all really begins with the idea that with my job I spend a large amount of time on the road.  This allows me way too much time to ponder ideas of society, politics, human behavior, and divinity.  I am at a loss now as to how to begin, where to go, and even a small sentiment of fear and reprisal for the ideas I plan to propose....oh well fuck it pay attention cause this is going to be fun.
