The purpose of Life


Sometimes it is worth remembering that before the universe we were, as if we were, nothing.

Before existence we were without a body.

Before life we were without a mind.

Before experience we were without knowledge.

We do not yet know how, but in an explosion of ourself, we ceased as we were and became the universe.

What we do know is that the explosion that caused our existence is still exploding.

Our universe is being created at this very moment.

We know our universe is continuing to be created because we who are existence are a knowable creation.

In our reality, every act always causes a particular effect.

In our universe, when a tree falls there is always a sound.

When we touch a fire it always burns.

Our constancy of cause and effect makes our universe knowable.

If reality was unknowable, life could not survive.

The very existence of life is testimony to the existence of knowledge in a knowable reality.

From small bacteria to tall oaks to humans, all life in the universe survives by acquiring a degree of knowledge of existence.

All life acquires a degree of consciousness of reality.

Those of us who are worms have acquired a knowledge of how to survive in dirt.

We who are birds have survived through a knowledge of worms.

Since the beginning of life, in order to prosper, living beings have been slowly learning all of the possible causes and effects of our universe.

At every moment, new knowledge is being added to the consciousness of life.

What was unknown is constantly becoming known.

Eventually, we who are life became sufficiently conscious to be able to see that not only does every cause have an effect, but that every effect is, itself, a cause.

The air, caused to rise by the sun, causes rain to fall on the mountain.

The river, caused by the mountain, causes trees in the valley.

The squirrel, caused by the tree to learn to climb in order to eat, causes the eagle to grow stronger when it finds a squirrel in a tree.

We have become aware of our reality as a never ending stream of effects becoming causes of effects that become causes.

As the universe flows through time, each of us can be seen to be influencing the creation of each of us according to our nature, and each of us is being changed and created to some degree by everything.

We are a universe of continuous creation.

In our reality, every form of existence is ultimately a result and a cause of every other form of existence.

The grass and the sun and the stream are a result of all that has come before and a cause of all that is yet to come.

We are all bound to one another through knowable cause and effect traceable to the beginning of the universe.

Since we all had the same origin, the mastodon and the moon and the leaf and the fly are all interconnected parts of the same act of exploding into being.

In our reality, each of us is ultimately revealed to be a knowable effect of our common cause, and each of us is ultimately our only actual evidence of a common direction and purpose for our existence.

What was before existence continues to remain unknown, so accurate descriptions of our nature and our history as a universe have been our only tangible clues to the meaning of reality.

Though it has taken billions of years to learn, the consciousness of the universe now can see clearly that we who are all the changing forms of being, past and present, are participants in a distinct phenomenon.

From the simple we have become complex as the gas became the galaxy.

From the planet we have become alive as the chemicals became the cell.

From the single we have become the many as the cell became the forms of life.

From the sleep of eternal nothing we have become increasingly conscious as the explosion gradually became all of us who are now alive.

In our universe, we have not only observed matter moving from order to disorder, but also, we have observed a movement of matter from simple to complex.

Existence is not just continually changing.

Existence is growing and becoming more.

By description, we who are a knowable universe are a continual growing.

From the moment we exploded into being, the universe has never stopped growing.

In our universe, the first particles of matter did not simply exist, they grew into something more by combining.

We who are conscious life have learned that growth is fundamental to our reality.

In our universe, the plants and the animals do not simply seek to survive.

All life wants to grow.

The trees want to grow and the caterpillars want to grow and the rats want to grow and the whales want to grow.

At all times, all of us who are alive seek to become as much as we are able.

The rose tries to become as beautiful a rose as it can.

The lion tries to become as great a lion as it can.

Each of us, according to our nature, wants to become as much of what we are as we are able.

Each of us use our experiences and our learnings as a species to consciously help our growth.

We who are life are not just the products of nature, but also, we are the result of our own attempts to shape our lives according to our power and our interests.

An interest in locating mice causes the fox to create a behavior of standing silent.

All of us who are life attempt to create ourselves in order to become as much as we can.

To survive and prosper, it is descriptive of all life that our actions are for us.

To take for ourselves and to protect ourselves in order to grow are fundamental characteristics of life.

As our consciousness has expanded and illuminated reality, we have increasingly realized that each living form since the beginning of life has always acted in its perception of its self interest in order to grow.

The effect of a desire to grow, in our reality, is the observable fact that every act by every form of life at all times is always motivated by self interest.

The grass and the birds and all who might pretend otherwise, always act in their perception of what will benefit their continuing growth.

Our most altruistic acts are undertaken for our own advancement.

When we act unselfishly, we each perceive such acts to ultimately be in our own interest in some manner.

Self interest is at the essence of every act by every living being.

The essence of self interest is to become as much as we are able.

The essence of every action is the universe attempting to become more.

Not only does every living being seek to become as much as it is able, but consciousness now sees each life form as a consequence and a beneficiary of those before it who sought to become as much as they were able.

The complex capabilities and traits which presently define us are the attained result of millions of selfish choices made by millions of living beings seeking to become as much as they could for millions of years.

The ultimate effect of all of the uncountable selfish acts by life has been growth.

All that has ever lived and all that has ever existed has been the means to the growth of the universe.

Our universe is growing because of us.

Consciousness now perceives that since the beginning of time, there has existed throughout our universe a command to grow that is seen in all that lives and that has caused all that is.

From the first moment of our explosion, the reason existence has continually become more complex is due to a universal force operating on all matter to become more.

We always act in our own interest because a force to grow is always acting on us.

Called by many names, an irresistible and ever present force is causing within the universe an urge to grow and a desire to become as much as we are able.

Our urge to grow is a fact of our existence, and it is a clue to our identity.

As our early universe grew, our physical reality had to become sufficiently complex for our living reality to begin, and both are evolving phases in an expanding complexity.

In the expansion of our universe, there is no evidence that any event ever separated our evolving physical existence and the beginning of life.

Since the beginning, a continuous impulse to grow integral to our reality has caused an increasing complexity of existence leading directly to consciousness.

From pure energy to quarks to protons to atoms to molecules to galaxies to amoebae to us, the all pervasive force to grow has always been engaged in causing consciousness to be created from nothing.

Our personal desire to grow arises from the center of our being, and is the internal drive that subtly but constantly spurs us onward.

Our urge to grow is relentless.

In our universe, due to our compulsion to grow, conscious life was inevitable, but the forms of life were not.

Prodded by a need to become as successful as possible, all life seeks to become as much as it can in whatever form is necessary.

To walk in the water to find food and to grow, ducks grow webs on their feet.

To walk to new water to find food and to grow, some fish have grown lungs.

The urge to grow causes life to opportunistically find and fill all possible niches in the universe with living forms seeking ways to succeed.

The smallest crack in a rock will be found by a weed.

The deepest regions of an ocean are home to a clam.

The urge to grow manifests itself in both quantity and quality.

Life seeks to be everywhere in number and variety, and then, in complexity leading to higher and higher consciousness.

In our universe, the greater the variety of life forms that exists, the greater our chance for the development of even higher life forms.

Consciousness has learned that our diversity exists to enable complexity and is a principal requirement for our continuing growth.

The objective of the universal urge to grow is positive.

All living beings want only to be able to thrive in a world that may or may not help.

Every conscious being wants to be strong, healthy and intelligent.

Because of our urge to grow, though we err, conscious beings learn from errors and never cease desiring to be healthy, strong and intelligent.

Our yearnings for wealth, power, sex, freedom, perfection, prestige and knowledge are all caused by our compulsion to grow.

Though the force motivating all of life to grow cannot be observed directly, its effects are seen through its manifestations, from a child who stoops to examine a blade of grass, to a hawk making circles in the sky, to a dog burying a bone.

When we see a flower turn to the sun, we are witnessing the influence of the need within us all to grow.

When we look at a spider making a web, we are looking at the hunger within us all to become as much as we can.

When we see the unconscious compulsion to grow anywhere, we see it everywhere.

The ever present force to grow influencing all matter caused life to exist and causes life to want to exist.

The force to grow commands all life in the universe to struggle to live as successfully as possible and to struggle with all of its strength to resist dying.

Due to the steady influence of the force on life to become more, life continually seeks to learn how to succeed against death.

Our urge to grow causes us to want to learn how to continue to grow.

The force to grow creates our desire to know.

Life may have failed many times before it learned to exist in the changing conditions of our explosion.

Life initially learned how to change and survive by learning how not to replicate itself perfectly.

Life has continued to survive by continuing to learn how to survive.

Each of us is a learning.

A hormone is a learning.

Genes and cells are learnings.

Reality was not created to be what it is.

Existence learned how to become grass and trees and mice and us.

Different living forms are the different learnings of the growing universe.

As every living being grows, it encounters the physical and social influences of our reality.

All influences on us cause us to create the forms and the behaviors through which each of us learns to become successful.

No one taught us to be the universe we are.

We have learned to be what we are by ourselves.

We learned to be as intelligent as we are.

We learned to live as long as we do.

The tree learned to bend in the wind.

The rabbit learned to be white in the snow.

The flea learned to ride on the dog.

Each of us is the wisdom of the universe remembered in our minds or our genetic code.

Our fruit or our flesh and our behaviors are the hard won knowledge the universe acquired from actual experience.

Because everything is continually being changed and created to some degree by everything, the environments that influence the creation of us are constantly changing.

As products of different environments, each of us is unique.

No two trees, birds, bears or bees are ever alike.

Each of us contributes uniquely to our future reality, just as each unique entity that has ever existed caused our unique present reality.

The growing universe is creating itself through all that exists and each of us is a unique contribution.

Our parents and our children acquire other learnings than we do because they are responses to different environments.

Each of us acquires knowledge no one else knows.

We have learned to value the difference of others for their learnings are uniquely important to the growth of our awareness.

What each life form does to learn to be successful creates new consciousness within reality.

The dog has learned a greater consciousness of smell.

The dolphin has learned a greater consciousness of sound.

The bird has learned a greater consciousness of flight.

All living beings acting in their own interest to become more, unconsciously also help the universe become more conscious.

Under the influence of the force to grow, existence has learned how to not only survive, which it could have done as amoebae, but how to also become more conscious.

Every second, existence becomes smarter.

Our universe has proven to be a way to grow consciousness.

There is movement toward higher consciousness in our lifetime in which we all are participating.

Just as the first life that emerged from the earth and all the later mammals were indispensable to the growing of us, we are all essential to the continuing growth of the consciousness of the universe.

Just as we learn from others, our own learnings contribute to what is known and will teach all others.

Each and every one of us contributes to some degree to the advance of our collective awareness.

The successes and failures of all who live contribute to the evolving mind of our universe.

Through the experiences of living beings, eventually the consciousness of the universe expanded sufficiently to be able to gain an insight into the reasons for success or failure.

Consciousness now understands that successful acts always nourish the desire to grow.

Humans emerged the supreme influence on earth by learning to accurately serve life's urge to grow.

We have learned that when we serve life by using our knowledge of causes and effects to satisfy the need of the living to grow, we are served and helped to grow by what we have grown.

We have learned that serving serves us.

We serve the need of the sprout to grow to be able to eat the corn.

Through growing conscious knowledge, we have slowly learned how to satisfy the specific self interest of other life forms for our own interest.

Service has proven to be our most effective method for success.

Our method for success is a learning that is the result of observing the behaviors that always cause a bountiful garden, human achievement and a person at peace.

In our reality, the servant is king.

To rule, we serve.

Each cell in us is alive to keep us alive.

The healthier we make our living cells, the more we are alive.

If we do not serve the cells of our body with food or drink, we die.

The cells of our body serve us because we serve the self interest of our body to live and to grow.

A plant serves us because we serve the self interest of the plant.

The horse serves us because we serve the self interest of the horse.

The cow serves us because we serve the self interest of the cow.

When we nourish life forms by feeding them and giving them drink, it looks as though we are doing it for them, but we would not do any of it if we did not have to.

We serve reluctantly, but we have learned that our ability to grow is lost if we do not choose to serve.

Though the desire to grow causes us to always act in our self interest, the consequences of our acts sometimes prove not to be in our interest.

If, through ignorance or indifference, we violate the self interest of life forms to grow, they fail and we fail.

When we effectively serve the self interest of life forms to grow, they succeed and we succeed.

The better we serve, the more we are served.

Humans no longer simply take life; we have learned the value of consciously managing the growth of life.

We no longer simply pick the berry; through service, we manage the growth of the berry bush.

Through our method for success, we have emerged to become the managers of all living beings, and now we are becoming managers of ourselves.

For every human being, what possesses the greatest potential for danger is not a bear or a hurricane, but another human being.

Because the actions of each of us have immense power to affect each of us, it is in our mutual self interest to manage one another, just as we manage the pigs, the chickens and the rice.

To prevent others from hurting us and to have others support our desire to become more, we are all slowly learning the value of serving each other as our best method for succeeding with each other.

Our personal wish to become more is an emotion we all feel inside.

We cannot deny our desire for pleasure, power and success, for we know our desires are created by the all pervasive force to grow and are essential to the growing of the universe.

In our selfish desire to grow, if we simply take from others through force or oppression, we adversely affect the ability of others to grow.

From experience, we have learned that severe frustration of our inherent urge to grow always results in anger and hostility.

Throughout recorded history, whenever any group of human beings have adversely affected the growth of other human beings, ultimately they have been resisted and they have all failed.

We fight those who threaten our growth.

We help those who help us grow.

Our urge to grow exists at the essence of our nature.

Nothing is more important to life than growth.

When someone actually helps us satisfy our personal internal urge to grow, they have touched us at the core of our existence.

Those who effectively serve our growth in any manner are of the highest value to us.

We have learned that the most effective action we can take to insure that our growth will continue to be served by others, is to help them satisfy their own internal urge to grow.

When someone helps our growth, we have learned to help them grow so they will continue helping us.

In mutual manipulation, humans have learned to live successfully with each other by simply serving the growth of each other.

Historically, our struggle between good and evil has always been our struggle between acting unthinkingly on our selfish compulsion to grow,

and finally learning the lesson that helping others grow is the superior strategy to successfully grow ourselves.

Our morality is our conscious adaptation to the unique environment of our universe.

All the lessons of morality are based on succeeding by serving and not violating the growth of others.

At low levels of consciousness, the uncontrolled selfish urge to grow creates an environment where life forms learn to fear one another and separateness is emphasized.

Through conscious serving, fear is dissipated and an environment is created where the one who serves is welcome.

Being accepted is an effect of service.

The better we serve the growth of other life forms throughout the universe, the more we will be accepted and supported by them.

In our reality, the servant is the fittest to survive.

Our method for success is a learning we are going to take with us into the rest of the universe to continue succeeding.

Our method for success, by being at one with the growing universe, is also the path to awareness.

Consciousness is expanding through serving.

Through serving, we have learned to grow life so as to create an environment that sustains us and facilitates the growth of our understanding.

Through serving, we have learned how to interact with others of equal consciousness to facilitate the expansion of the total consciousness of existence.

Spurred by the compulsion to continually become more, through us and our method for success, the universe is now evolving to a qualitatively new level of complexity.

Just as conscious cells act together with other cells to form entities of higher consciousness, so too, are humans slowly developing interrelationships which will produce an entity of consciousness greater than their own.

Slowly, but relentlessly, humans are continually joining together to form as cells in a new and greater complexity of consciousness than is attainable by any one individual .

As we have learned to consciously serve the growth of one another, we have also been unconsciously creating a completely new variety of organism on our planet.

Homosapien is ceasing to be a species, and is now becoming an organism on earth called Humankind.

The organism of Humankind is being created by us because it is an evolutionary consequence of our method for success wherein we have learned to serve others so that we may be served.

Long ago we learned there were rewards for creating occupations that serve specific needs of others.

The first separation of functions among humans were successful because they served us by providing each of us with more variety, more information, more safety and more quality, which became a nurturing environment of greater diversity and experiences for us all.

If the farmer still had to learn everything on his own, we would have less food.

If the teacher still had to hunt for food, we would have less knowledge.

Individual humans have found that serving others in the organism of Humankind has allowed them each to benefit from greater security, power and consciousness.

Every day the organism of Humankind is becoming more pronounced as we each learn new ways to serve the urge to grow in others.

As we perform our separate tasks for each other in our interest to be served and to grow, we are also developing and strengthening our interconnections as an organism of humans.

As the organism of Humankind slowly evolves, every endeavor of present human existence is becoming directly analogous to the functions of a biological organism.

Each of us can be seen to be participating in and contributing to a specific developing organ or system in the organism.

Though in the organism of Humankind all of the cells are immensely more conscious than those of any other organism on earth, it is a true organism.

Specialized human cells gather the varieties of food for all of the human cells that comprise the organism of Humankind.

Specialized human cells distribute our nutrients and carry away our wastes on our multiplying arteries and capillaries.

Specialized human cells create our unique protective shell that shelters us from the wind and the weather.

Specialized human cells heal damaged human cells.

Specialized humans are the nerve messengers, the muscles, the eyes, the ears and even the speaking mouth.

All human occupations contribute to the maintenance and the advancement of the growing organism of Humankind.

Because of our growing numbers and organizational development, less and less may a single human being operate outside of the interdependent organism of humans.

As the possibilities for individual autonomy slowly recede in areas of economic independence, shelter, feeding, clothing and all the other requirements of life; individuals have increasingly been preparing themselves to only supply specific isolated services.

As humans become more diverse, and Humankind becomes even more capable of learning and producing, it also becomes more necessary to coordinate our functions.

Increasingly, farmers, storekeepers, manufacturers and all others work under the administration of larger and larger corporate or governmental entities.

The development of large organizations is the maturation of the individual organs of the body of Humankind for ever more efficient and coordinated utilization of nutrients and resources and human skills that benefit us all.

The purpose of the organism of Humankind is to expand the capacity of consciousness for acquiring power and understanding over and about everything.

As we have moved from hunting to planting, and from small farms to agribusiness, and from small business to international conglomerates, and from city states to a world government, Humankind has steadily evolved to higher and higher levels of consciousness and power.

Long ago we left the natural capacity of our planet to sustain us.

All of us, who number in the billions, are alive at the same time because Humankind has learned how to increase the natural growth of foods like rice and wheat and corn.

Only the wisdom of Humankind sustains us now.

The organism of Humankind is now sufficiently developed for us to see clearly that while acting in our interests to become more, we have also been unknowingly advancing the development of existence.

The organism of Humankind is the latest evolution of consciousness that is contributing to the continuing growth of the universe.

The organism of Humankind is a means for the expansion of consciousness throughout the universe.

Humankind is the adaptation life has found to survive and prevail beyond the earth.

The organism of Humankind is an instrument through which existence may best continue growing conscious.

Just as human beings are as cells in the developing organism of Humankind, Humankind itself, will one day prove to have been but a cell in the developing organism of a conscious universe.

Consciously or unconsciously, we all design our role and place in the body of the growing universe.

Today we are still only semi-consciously designing Humankind.

We are participants in the transition from nurturing an individual consciousness to produce a sovereign, to the rapid development of an organism of humans in which individual consciousness contributes according to its capability but is subject to control by a newly developing collective consciousness.

Our present lack of awareness of the total consequences of our collective decisions sometimes creates oppressive environments.

Seeking to become more, we act.

Experiencing our acts, Humankind grows wiser.

Through action and reflection, occasionally causing temporary suffering due to innocence, the appropriate structures of the organism of Humankind are slowly evolving and taking form.

We who understand the growing universe accept the developing organism of Humankind and actively seek to shape it to fulfill our inborn need as individuals to continue to grow freely.

Intuitive acknowledgment of the urge to grow within each of us was the basic assumption upon which our concept of freedom was originally developed.

Any social systems that do not seek to preserve and to maximize a personal freedom to grow are ignorant of the very nature of life, and will ultimately fail.

Future structures of the organism of Humankind that serve our urge to grow by facilitating personal freedom will succeed.

The command to grow, which is ultimately causing the formation of the organism of Humankind, also causes each of us to want to understand more than we do at any one moment.

Through the force to grow, we have all been endowed with curiosity.

We want to know all that the universe has learned.

All the learnings of the universe from the beginning of time are now being brought to the awareness of Humankind to create a consciousness of existence.

The history of our reality is the history of existence evolving from simple to complex until the complexity became conscious, and consciousness grew in complexity until it became self conscious.

Our emerging self consciousness is the universe awakening to itself.

The gentle prodding of the urge to grow has resulted in ever greater sophistications of learning leading to a complexity of matter that is slowly becoming entirely aware of all of reality.

Our universe is becoming completely self conscious.

Our lives are the way the universe is awakening, and we are now sufficiently conscious to see there is true power in our every act.

The influences of everything around us are the environment in which we grow, and we, too, are the environment for everything around us.

We are all an influence on the influences on us.

Each and every one of us affects existence.

If we take one step, we bend or break the grass beneath our feet.

We have learned that we will experience consequences for every act directly or indirectly, immediately or ultimately.

None of us can ride through the time of our lives without being an influence on the universe.

Even if we sit absolutely still and do nothing, our presence becomes part of the environment and influences how other things will be.

Even our breath has the power to change reality.

The beginning of what will be is created with every act.

Our next thought and our next action will create the future of our growing universe.

Consciousness has a power to choose the future.

Our growing knowledge of causes and their effects gives the consciousness of existence a power to select actions that decide what will happen.

Since we have learned there are choices among possible acts, and every act is an influence, our conscious choices will design reality.

Each choice we make shapes the environment that shapes us.

Each of us has a power to create the environment of our universe, and, thus, what we will become.

We have a power to create ourselves.

Our lives are not predetermined because we have learned that we can consciously change the social and physical environments that form us.

As we acquire knowledge our power to influence increases.

Just as each of us are the means to knowledge, each of us are the means to conscious power.

The use of conscious power has grown as an influence on reality to the extent that it is now becoming the preeminent power of the universe.

Conscious life came directly from the physical universe and was ruled by it for billions of years.

Now the physical universe is beginning to be designed by the power of our consciousness.

Though once we were only creations of our exploding universe and a force to grow, now we will also be creations of our own minds.

Our collective consciousness, as the organism of Humankind, no longer accepts fate.

Every day our consciousness grows more powerful to understand and alter all that happens.

In the past, intense pain often occurred before we were able to learn and change.

In the past, famine and floods and plagues had to be accepted and allowed to run their course.

Now growing conscious knowledge enables us to react at the first sign of danger, thus avoiding the full consequences of harmful events.

Today, many of the hungry are quickly fed, many rising waters can be channeled and most sickness can be counteracted with medicine.

We are no longer completely at the mercy of the changing influences of reality.

Conscious life is now becoming increasingly capable of altering every change.

In the future, we intend to control change for our purposes.

Eventually, we intend to become the masters of our own fate.

Consciousness intends to rule the universe.

Ultimately, we intend that all of existence will only become what we intend.

At low levels of awareness, life forms are reactive designs to the influences on them.

As awareness expands, our power to control the design of everything also expands.

In the past we adapted to changing environments to survive, but now we are adapting all environments to enhance our growth.

Consistently, the consciousness of the universe uses its learnings about the consequences of acts to choose effects that only enhance the growth of consciousness.

Consciousness is determining the nature of our reality by its choices to grow.

Our awareness of our existence has now grown so deep, we are consciously recreating existence by controlling the influences on life, be it weather or society or heredity.

We now understand our power as an influence on the reality we have inherited, and we are now consciously recreating reality for our growth.

We who are the awareness of the universe are now taking the reins of evolution.

Consciousness is now creating living beings that never before existed for the sole purpose of enhancing our consciousness.

In our interest, more and more of the physical and mental characteristics of all that lives are being determined by conscious choice and not by chance.

All life is becoming the product of conscious knowledge and not a prior genetic command.

We are becoming able to design the universe any way we wish.

Our consciousness is proving it will design its own future.

We are now creating our own destiny.

In the future, we intend to recreate the planets and the galaxies as we now do the mountains and the fields, and to recreate all that lives throughout the universe to continue to enhance our expanding consciousness.

In the past, as our self consciousness continued to deepen, we began to look at our unique behavior and our innate characteristics with increasing astonishment.

As the life of the universe became sufficiently conscious and aware of itself, we began to ask ourselves the essential question: Who are we?

The facts of our identity remained hidden until the consciousness of the universe became sufficient to understand.

Just as a child becomes an adolescent before it gives up its childish ways, fact always precedes understanding.

Our expanding mind as a universe continually grew ever more capable of accurately perceiving our reality, until one day the universe learned enough of itself to finally see its true identity.

Through our awakening consciousness we looked at the history of the universe and extrapolated from billions of years of existence a single direction.

Our universe is on a straight path to becoming our idea of God.

We who are the effects of an act of exploding into being are a knowable reality that only describes the growth of a God.

Compelled by our yearning to grow, we all struggle to survive and to become as knowledgeable and as powerful as we can because the universe is struggling to survive and become a God.

Just as children become adults but do not pursue adulthood, we have always been becoming a God but have not sought it.

We are driven to create a God.

Our compulsion to grow has been a compulsion to awaken.

The universe has awakened to see it is a growing God.

As we have awakened, the force to grow has been revealed to be a God force.

A God force acting on everything is commanding the universe to become a God.

All around us and throughout us, a God force permeates all of reality and causes an urge to grow that is compelling all of us to continually want to become more in the direction of Godhood.

Driven by the urge within us to become a God, we want to understand everything.

We want to become omniscient.

On earth, we have found how to become infinitely capable of understanding because we have learned how to let the sum of knowledge reside in Humankind or its tools for consciousness and not in individual human beings.

We want to be omnipotent.

We intend to claim every inch of the universe as ours.

It is inconceivable to us that we will be denied ultimate control over our entire universe.

We want to be omnipresent.

Due to our impulse to grow, consciousness seeks to be everywhere throughout the universe.

We are constantly devising new eyes and ears to extend ourselves to everywhere we are not.

We expect to encounter everything from the smallest to the largest and the closest to the furthest.

As consciousness continues to grow toward omniscience, and as its power builds to omnipotence, and as life expands to omnipresence, we are experiencing ourselves becoming our vision of a God.

Now we know why we are as we are.

Due to a God force permeating all of reality, the urge to become a God is inherent in everything.

The consciousness of the universe can now see that the urge to grow toward Godhood has been within all of existence since the beginning.

It was an urge to grow toward Godhood that caused our exploding existence to continually seek to become more complex.

It was an urge to grow Godward that caused the universe to form as matter, and to form matter into life and now to form life into a God.

The universe has always been the means to the creation of a God.

Existence was the means to life.

Life was the means to consciousness.

Consciousness is the means to Godliness.

Our story is the history of a growing God.

The universe is a God growing up.

We are living the life of a growing God.

Our reality is a developing organism that is only becoming a God.

The truth that our reality is becoming a God could be different, but it is not.

A universal truth must include all of the particulars of our experience with reality.

Every new learning about our particular universe contributes additional evidence that we are all part of a growing God.

That we are a growing God is an idea that was born in our universe and has flourished due to the continuing success of the growth of our consciousness.

As natural selection gave way to conscious selective breeding, which in turn is giving way to direct interference with the biochemistry of inheritance, we have been increasingly aware that our behavior is Godlike.

The power of our consciousness through genetic engineering to demonstrate the plasticity of all life is an example of our true identity as a growing God.

To accept that we are each part of a growing God is to be congruent with our desire to consciously design our future and the future of the universe.

In the future, we will have many names to describe our new and greater organisms of consciousness, but our true identity will always remain the same.

Just as we must cease seeing ourselves as a child in order to live as an adult, we have learned to cease seeing ourselves as simply humans in order to see that we are also participants in the growing God.

A small child eventually realizes it is intended to become an adult.

We now realize we are intended to become a God.

The force acting on the universe to grow has always intended for the universe to grow into a God.

Our clearest perception of reality sees that to become a God is the purpose of our existence.

The purpose of the universe is to create a God.

The purpose of each life is to be an instrument through which the universe may continue to grow toward Godhood.

The reason we are all here is to help the universe become a God.

A force exerting influence on all of us to become a God has been the motivation for every single act in the universe.

Every act is our universe struggling to become a God.

If a God outside the universe created the universe, what It created is always growing in the direction of Godhood.

If a God created us, It created a growing God.

The evolution of the universe is clear evidence that if a God created us, it is God's will that we become a God.

If a God is giving us Its spirit, the effect of that spirit is to struggle to become a God.

If we are self caused, in Its explosion of Itself, a God became the creator and the creation.

If we are self caused, we are the realization of a God.

The universe intends to learn the truth of its birth.

We still do not understand why we are driven to create a God, but we are determined to become as Godlike as necessary to find out.

If a God created us, what it created intends to become as Godlike as necessary to be able to have a direct and conscious experience with its Creator.

Until we have discovered whether or not we are the only God, we will never be satisfied.

All that is known now is that what was before the beginning of the universe is creating a God from nothing to become a God in reality.

We are the growing of a God that will exist.

If the universe is ultimately able to become a God, a God will exist in reality.

Since the chemistry of the universe is the same anywhere, the growing God is being created everywhere.

Everything around us is the universe becoming a God at this very moment.

All of existence is participating in our becoming a God.

Nothing and no one in the universe is useless.

A God is being created by each of us specifically.

A rock, a snake, a crow and our neighbors are as important to the creation of a God as we are.

The consciousness of the universe has learned to accept everything as equal elements of the growing God.

As descendants of the same lineage, everything and everyone in the universe is related.

In our past, our indifference to other species eventually evolved into a respect for the unique learnings of every life form, and now respect is evolving into the emotions of kinship.

We now see the bear and the bush and the shark as brothers and sisters traveling with us through the unceasing evolutions of our growing universe.

Each of us is what the growing God looks like.

Each and every one of us defines the growing God.

What we see as ours is the growing God.

Our faces are the face of the growing God.

Our atoms are the atoms of the growing God.

Together, we all form the body of a growing God.

We are all what a growing God has become at this moment in time.

Everything is an example of how well a God has been able to grow so far.

Each of us will determine the future of the growing God by what we do with our lives because the growing God is living life as us.

The idea of a God is that of complete consciousness which is all knowing and all powerful.

To know everything, a God must learn everything.

We are how the growing God learns.

The growing God only sees through the eyes of the universe and only learns through the experiences of existence.

Each experience from which we learn contributes to the expanding consciousness of the growing God.

New discoveries in every endeavor are prized and supported by all of us because we know instinctively they are visible evidence that our growth toward Godhood is continuing.

A God is realizing Itself through our growing awareness.

Our increasing consciousness is the developing mind of a God.

In our lifetimes, we are each responsible to protect and advance the consciousness of the growing God.

Through our deep need to procreate, we create succeeding generations that are the channels through which the consciousness of the growing God can continue to exist.

Due to our present mortal capabilities, consciousness must still be passed from generation to generation like a torch that is slowly growing brighter and stronger.

Each generation that lives donates new learnings that expand the growth of our consciousness.

Every generation resists dying to protect consciousness.

For billions of years, the universe did not know what it was becoming, but through us now it understands.

Like a newborn baby, for billions of years the growing God was alive, but unable to see.

Through us, the growing God is now beginning to see itself clearly.

Be it our growing understanding of the origins of the universe or why we are as we are, we are a young God's expanding self awareness.

As we awaken, we see that a God is awakening.

As we become more Godlike, the universe is becoming a living God.

Ever more consciously, we are directing the creation of ourselves and the universe toward fulfilling our purpose of becoming a God.

Through us, the force to grow is creating an increasing complexity of conscious existence that is heading directly to Godhood.

The logical extension of continuing as we have for billions of years is that one day the entire universe will be a completely conscious being, ruled by its own mind, which all of us helped to create.

We have not yet decided the ultimate form of our Godhood.

At this point in time, we are still the childhood of a God.

The universe is a child God growing up.

Today the growing God is like an adolescent, who is fearful in the present, curious about its past, conscious of its growing power and slowly learning to take responsibility for its future.

Our present minds are a young God reflecting on what has been accomplished unconsciously as we begin our conscious design of everything.

Since all life, including our own, is coming under our conscious control, we are becoming responsible for all acts of life anywhere.

Our conscious influence is now so powerful that we are becoming responsible for everything that will happen.

In the past, on every question concerning our fate, as we have actively influenced ourselves to accept responsibility, we have been unconsciously influencing ourselves to accept the burden of a God.

As we have become more Godlike, we have slowly come to consciously accept responsibility for all of reality.

In accepting responsibility for the future of our universe, we have come to accept ourselves as a God.

The consciousness of the universe is becoming responsible for all that exists, but has no obligation to anything.

Consciousness is not dependent upon form.

Since the explosion that brought us to existence, our universe has always been a reality of endless change.

Unfolding in time, we are all in motion.

The growing God, in being all the changing forms of life, cannot be devoted to any life form.

The growing God continues through any form that can succeed.

A conscious God is being made in the continually changing images of humans and roses and porpoises and viruses.

In our reality, change can occur so quickly it can be catastrophic for a specific life form, but change is often so slow it goes unnoticed until we look back and see what we were.

In our constancy of change, ultimately everything in the universe is transformed completely.

Nothing will continue to be the way it is.

What it is to exist as a human or as a plant or as a city is continually being redefined every second.

We have learned to not become attached to the meadows and the panthers or the nations or the stars, for once they were not here as they are, and one day they will be gone as they are forever.

We cannot save ourselves or Humankind, our families, our youth or our minds.

We cannot save anything.

When influences change, we change.

All the changing forms of reality that emerge and disappear are the evolving body of the growing God.

Continual change is our means to the creation of ourselves as a God.

Death ensures that those who do not accept change, or who are no longer capable of change, disappear from the growing God.

Death is the mechanism the universe uses to facilitate change and allow for ever greater complexity and consciousness.

Change and death are not a loss, but a giving up so that the universe may become more.

Just as the old die that the young may become more, everything eventually dies so that the universe may continue becoming a God.

There is a purpose for change.

Everything must change so the universe may continue growing.

There is a purpose for dying.

The living are continually dying so life may continue growing.

Thousands of species became extinct before we arrived on our planet, and thousands more will become extinct by our design.

The forms of the universe have always been changed by a variety of influences, and now will be changed by the growing influence of consciousness.

Allegiance to our form as humans is temporary.

Just as we have no feeling for the ancient ape who became us, one day we will have no feeling for human beings.

In the past, different forms of people found unity through their deeper identity as human beings, and in the future, human beings and other forms of equal consciousness in other areas of the universe will find unity through their even deeper identity as the growing God.

Since we are all continually changing, all identities other than being a growing God are illusions.

With no allegiance to form, as the universe unfolds only our identification as a growing God will remain unchanged.

What is valuable to the growth of a God is not the form of a life, but the learnings of a life.

In our self interest, we resist letting any life form disappear from reality before its learnings are known.

We want to learn the learnings of the universe to expand our consciousness and our power.

As our power grows to consciously influence the behavior of the universe, we are increasingly our definition of a God.

At each moment we are watching the growing God become more capable of Godlike action.

As a growing God, we are now alert enough to causes and effects to act as the God of ourselves and the creator of what comes next.

All living forms struggle to grow within the internal environment of their bodies, the external environment of their place in the universe and the social environment of their species.

The design of every environment is always conducive or detrimental to our becoming more secure and more awake.

Our past evolution is the story of a God learning to grow conscious within the environments of existence.

We now use our growing understanding of cause and effect to consciously shape all environments to produce influences that help us become as Godlike as possible.

We are recreating our environment to create ourselves as a God.

We are moving in the direction of complete self control of our growth toward Godhood.

Through us, the growing God is taking responsibility for its own fulfillment.

Like an adolescent creating itself out of what it is given, we are beginning to consciously create a God out of the universe.

Our future evolution will be the story of a God consciously creating Itself.

Since the universe is not yet an omniscient and omnipotent entity, to try to be a fully matured God is to try to be an ideal that cannot yet be lived.

Though there is still much we cannot do, each of us has the power to become our potential, and at every moment, to advance ourselves and the universe.

As part of the growing God, each of us possesses a power to direct our lives.

We each possess the power to create ourselves more Godlike.

None of us will journey through the time of our lives without taking actions that create us, but whether we will become more or less Godlike is a choice we all have to make.

The consciousness of our changing universe now understands that there is no single way we are destined to be.

We are free.

We know there is no plan for our lives, because we have learned we choose our future.

Our plans are the only plans of the growing God.

Acceptance of ourselves as a growing God is acceptance of the reality that we are absolutely free to create the experience of living any way we wish, and absolutely responsible for the life we experience.

When seeking guidance, we have learned to ask: What would a God do?

The wise among us use their knowledge of the consequences of all of the choices available at every moment to select what is in their best interest at that moment to grow in the direction of becoming a God.

The wise choose to become their most Godlike.

The wise among us accept their true identity as a growing God and take Godlike conscious control of their lives.

Each of us consciously rules ourselves to some degree.

The wise rule themselves completely.

By exercising command over their thoughts and their behaviors, the wise rule their minds and their bodies to grow more Godlike.

The degree to which we each make conscious choices to become more Godlike, we are living as the growing God we are.

When we live as our true identity, a growing God, we are choosing to merge ourselves with our distinct reality.

Our churches and temples and mosques are where we tell ourselves it is God's will to take conscious control of ourselves for our continuing growth.

The founders of religions are great teachers to us, not just because they may or may not have been God who became men, but because they were men who became more Godlike.

Our greatest teachers, in urging their followers to become more perfect, use the concept of a God as their example of perfection.

At the essence of their teachings, all religions urge their believers to grow Godlike.

Religion is not just a belief in a series of ideas about what is true, it is a means to Godhood.

Intuitively, all religions advocate choices that keep their followers aligned with the force acting on us all to grow toward Godhood.

Our internal urge to grow created by an all pervasive God force is constantly causing all of us to seek to grow in the direction of becoming a God.

Our dreams for a better tomorrow are the effects of the God force urging us on.

Our desire to live and not die is directly due to the subtle force throughout us all to grow Godward.

A human tries to grow until it dies.

A tree tries to grow until it dies.

All life seeks to grow as great as it can before it dies.

We die when we exceed our learned ability to live, but our desire to grow continues until the end.

In understanding our compulsion to become a God, the wise never stop serving their growth.

When we choose to help ourselves become our most Godlike, we are choosing to faithfully follow the direction of the God force.

The force to become a God is the fundamental influence of each of our lives.

Our desire to become as alive as possible at every moment of our lives is created by the constant force to grow Godward within all of existence.

In driving us toward Godhood, the God force prods us toward health and alertness.

Our inherent urge to grow caused by the God force is the only reason all living bodies and minds always strive to heal.

Our personal desire for health and consciousness is our personal evidence that the God force is constantly influencing us.

To magnify our health and enhance our consciousness, we have learned the value of using our minds to help our bodies to only grow in accordance with the particular direction the God force is urging us to go.

Through intelligent serving, we are learning to consciously assist our growth toward Godhood.

Our body makes our consciousness possible.

By taking conscious control of their bodies, the wise among us have learned that their consciousness is increased.

Formed over billions of years under the influence of the God force, our bodies always seek to operate as efficiently as possible, so that we may become as conscious as possible.

When we help our bodies operate efficiently, by controlling the influences on them according to our best present knowledge of cause and effect, we maximize our life as a conscious growing God.

The wise use their knowledge of their bodies to intelligently serve their bodies in order to personally become as awake as possible.

The wise do not allow impacts on their lives, either physical or mental, to distort, deflect or diminish the true direction of their growth.

The wise nurture their bodies like a garden to get a bountiful harvest of health and alertness.

We have learned that when we assist ourselves to become healthier, stronger and wiser, we are consciously creating ourselves more Godlike.

Living as humans, we are often aware of our weakness.

Living as a young God, we are always aware of our power.

The wise among us do not focus on how little strength and consciousness they have, but on how to serve themselves in ways that will increase their strength and consciousness.

When serving our growth, we are in harmony with our purpose of serving the growth of a God.

As we each act as Godlike as possible to make ourselves healthier and more conscious, the universe becomes a more conscious God.

Our heightening degrees of consciousness are realized as perspectives on reality.

When we first looked upon one another as a child God, the universe changed before our eyes.

In our history, we had different ideas about our relationship with reality.

At one time we thought of ourselves as part of the universe, and at a later time we were special and separate.

Now we see that we are all related to the origin of the universe and that we are all serving the same purpose.

Now, because we know other life forms think and communicate, we see we are just extensions of the consciousness of our area in the universe.

The thoughts and beliefs we hold are an environmental influence on how we grow and bloom.

Ideas of being male or female or human or even that we are a growing God influence how we encounter reality.

How we think and live is greatly affected by those who came before us, though by definition, they could not be completely conscious of the effects of their thinking.

Both the wisdom and the ignorance of our ancestors have real power to create us.

Due to the imperfect consciousness of those who came before us, to some extent we are living mistakes right now in the light of future knowledge.

When we look upon ourselves as a young God, we are acknowledging both our present power and our present imperfection.

The wise among us choose to see themselves as a young God to remain joined with reality.

Seeing ourselves as a young God, we interact with existence as it is and not as it might be or could be or should be.

When we see we are a young God, we see that everything we do is for the growing God.

Our desperate and clumsy attempts to become more are the universe fighting to become more Godlike.

When we see ourselves as a young God, we are congruent with ourselves and all of existence.

When we see others as a young God, we see beyond the form of their species and the masks of their learnings, and we observe them trying positively to become more Godlike, just as we are.

When we see others as a young God, we understand them.

Though we now perceive ourselves as part of a growing God, we can also still see ourselves as separate beings striving on our planet.

Aware of our personal vulnerability, we each try to become something that can succeed in the environment we have inherited.

Each of us develops a sense of self which is a cluster of ideas describing how we have learned to be in order to be successful.

Since we have always been in transformation, many ideas about us are not the actual truth.

At different times in our lives we learn we are children and adolescents and adults.

At different times of our lives we are students and workers and elders.

Each learned identity of ourselves changes and is proven false.

Since we are continually changing, all other roles we learn to play and all identities we attach to ourselves, other than our existence as a young God, are not us.

We have learned that we can only unite with our existence when we come to understand that we are only a growing God and not any other label or name.

Each of us is nothing other than a young God.

Learned false identities act as influences that distort our perspective of reality.

If we attempt to become any identity other than a young God, we create a mental environment wherein our true self is suppressed, our consciousness is reduced and our full growth is inhibited by the narrow expectations of our roles.

When we do not encounter reality as a young God, we are in conflict with ourselves.

All internal conflicts are a result of trying to live as an identity other than our true identity.

If our learned self is not our true self, we experience continuous discomfort.

We have learned that it is in our best self interest to cease and resist all false identities and to only live in accordance with our true life as a young God.

There is internal calm only when we choose to act as who we are and to only grow aligned with the force to become a God acting throughout us.

Our urge to grow Godward is a distinct feeling at the center of our being.

Some of us believe that the urge within us to grow caused by the God force comes from a God, and some of us do not know where it comes from, but all of us feel its existence.

By how we feel in the center of our being, we all know when we are aligned with the force to grow Godward acting on us and when we are not.

Whenever we engage in behavior detrimental to our growth, it separates us from the God force, and gives us a sense of not being synchronous with ourselves or the universe or a God.

The wise among us listen to themselves to find their present relationship with the God force, and if they have become separated, they assist themselves in reuniting by surrendering themselves to it.

When we have completely surrendered ourselves to the God force, we have oriented our lives with the direction of the growing universe.

To be aligned with the God force is to understand a distinction between consciously trying to become what we are not, and consciously helping ourselves to become what we are.

The closer we are joined with the God force, the more we live as our inherent essential nature.

Every life form allowed to become itself will become beautiful, balanced and symmetrical.

The God force, when allowed to control the direction of growth, creates symmetry.

We are each like a flower.

If we are helped to grow as what we truly are, we are each magnificent.

Where the urge to grow is not allowed full expression due to harmful influences, there is distortion, frustration and suffering.

To have faith in the God force is to not go where we think we should, but to go where it leads us.

The wise among us have learned to use our growing understanding of the consequences of actions to help themselves and the entire universe grow in the direction of Godhood the God force is urging us to go.

The wise shape the environments within them and around them to produce influences that allow them to grow as their true identity.

Underneath our layer of pretension and controlled social behavior, and further down underneath a layer of personal hurt and anger and fear, is the true identity in all of us that is radiant, positive and filled with hope and desire due to the urge to grow.

When we are completely aligned with the God force acting on all of reality, we are our true identity.

Because our true identity is that of a growing God, to attempt to be at one with our growing Godhood as a universe is simply to allow ourselves to be ourselves.

The more we are able to live freely as who we truly are, the more we become at one with our reality as a growing God.

The most fundamental description of all of us who are living is that we want to survive and become as much as we can.

Our compulsion to exist and to become more is what is causing the universe to become a God, and our efforts to survive will only end when we become immortal.

The wise among us consciously allow themselves to only live as their true self in complete faith that it will always prove to be in their best interest to survive and to succeed.

We have learned that when living and growing as our true selves aligned with the force to grow, our chances for survival and success are increased because the struggles of our lives are easier and the accomplishments of our lives are greater.

Learned false identities and their expectations require effort to be maintained.

When we are not trying to be anything or anyone other than who we are, all of our personal energy is entirely available to carry us to our highest potentiality.

By not trying to be anything, we are made more.

Those who follow false ideas push forward.

The wise follow the God force and are carried.

If the body is allowed to blossom naturally, the mind will have a sense of being that is a feeling of calm, and a sense of experiencing that is a feeling of keen alertness.

When we are who we are, we are our most awake.

When we are served to grow as ourselves, we maximize the power and the potential of our minds.

Open to reality and free from the distortions of prejudice and pretension, when we are nurtured to grow as who we truly are, we are our most aware.

The better we are at helping ourselves grow Godward as ourselves, the clearer all of reality becomes.

Because when we are our most awake, we have our greatest access to all we ever experienced and learned, when we are served to grow as ourselves, we are our most conscious.

When we live and develop as our deepest innate nature, we become our most Godlike.

Guided by the gentle prodding of the urge to become a God within us, the wise among us consciously serve their Godward growth in order to live completely as the growing God they are.

As the wise nurture their Godward blossoming, they feel their growing Godhood.

In our reality, true knowledge of the urge to grow and our growing universe is sensate.

Those of us who are merely aware that we are the growing of a God do not know the whole truth.

We seek truth in order to believe, but only when we act according to our beliefs can we know the truth.

Only those of us who consciously act to help ourselves and the universe grow more Godlike have a personal sensate encounter with truth.

Because the growing universe is only defined by our presence, each of us belongs.

Those of us who choose to become our true identity and to follow the God force, feel our belonging.

The degree to which we accept ourselves as the young God we are, and then act as Godlike as possible at all times, we feel what it is like to be at one with our existence.

If we consciously serve the growth of other lives and exercise control over our growth, we discover the distinct emotions of our growing Godhood.

When we serve ourselves to become our most Godlike, we feel our power to control events growing and sensations of fear receding.

When serving ourselves to become our most Godlike, the anxiety that accompanies our fear of death is replaced by the peace that accompanies the death of fear.

When we live aligned with the universal God force, we experience an emotion arising within us of personal peace.

Peacefulness is the primary feeling of actively living as a growing God.

Just as our parents and their parents contributed to the growing God, yet did not personally experience the world as a fully realized God, we will not experience the universe as a fully realized God.

Though all living beings are brought to existence as a means to the growing God, our individual lives are the presence of a young God.

A child is a means to becoming an adult, yet the experience of childhood can be fully satisfying when the urge to grow is nurtured.

Our personal reward for consciously living as a growing God is a life that is the fullest, most joyous and most completely satisfying as it is possible to live.

The phenomenon of our universe as a growing God is confirmation that it is our highest duty to continually protect and promote our freedom to grow.

When we defend our need to grow freely, we are protecting the growing God.

The objective for every human institution is to only create a nursery for the growing of a God.

We are serving the growing God when we create societies that cultivate the Godward growth of each and every one of us.

The more we each can become more Godlike, the greater our personal success will be, and the greater our contribution will be to the success of the growing God.

The more we each can become able to do our tasks well, the better the chances will be for all of us to survive and prevail in the reality of our universe.

To become as Godlike as possible is the path upon which the wise teach their children to place their lives, for this is the ideal toward which consciousness is continuing to grow.

When a child is taught thoughts about reality and how to live, in good faith it tries to become what it is taught.

The child who is taught about the growing God, and the child's true purpose and identity, lives comfortably with itself and the universe it experiences all of its life.

The child who is taught false definitions of reality, and false identities, lives in conflict with itself and its universe all of its life.

Only when all beings of high consciousness throughout the universe have learned that the true purpose of living is to contribute to the growing of a God, will it be possible for universal peace.

Our idea of a God is of a Supreme Being which, because of its infinite wisdom, always chooses that action that ultimately proves to be the most beneficial to all.

Wisdom requires experience.

To become a God requires that we know the truth about everything, and to know the truth we must experience everything, whether good or bad.

In our reality, the growth of consciousness has always been completely dependent on the cause and effect experiences of our universe.

In our reality, we have found that for us to survive and grow, we have had to learn how to survive and grow from our own experiences.

Even if a God created us, we have learned that a God is not living our life as a growing God.

Even if a God, through the God force, is giving us the will, we have learned to accept that it is we who must learn the way.

What was before the beginning of our universe may have failed to become a God in reality an uncountable number of times before it became our universe.

Before existence can realize itself as a true God, it may fail yet again.

We are still an innocent and ignorant God.

Due to our imperfect understanding, we do not yet see all of the consequences of acts, and ideas are still followed which prove to be false.

The child God is often wrong.

Our growing conscious power is now being equally realized as a capacity for survival and a capability for a fatal accident.

Until the universe becomes the true definition of a God, we could still make a mistake and die.

Our planet may become the only success of consciousness in the universe, or merely a lesson.

Ultimately, whether or not the universe will all have been for nothing will depend solely upon us.

Since the beginning, we have continually struggled to advance in the direction of becoming the true definition of a God before the power of our universe ceases.

We are engaged in an epic struggle with the absolute finality of nothingness, and our life as a universe is almost half over.

The very nature of our finite existence decrees that there is no other choice for us but to consciously seek immortality or accept death.

We will either become a God or die.
