"Therefore if we cut the handle off our grub hoe too short, we’ll loose leverage. If we forge too small of a hammer, we take away the power. And if we close our perceptive abilities too soon, we’ll for sure miss the vision."

—The Flat Mind

An interesting question to ponder, as we proceed, is whether the origin and the destination are the same place. Some people may assert that these are neither physical places nor anything we can conceive in our minds.

I would suggest that the origin and destination are a harmonious union of all possible realities. The origin is where all life commences, while the destination is where all life returns. The operative word here is “all.” The place, time, or element that contains all possibilities must necessarily exist only once. Look at it this way: If there are two baskets of eggs, neither one contains all of the eggs.

If the origin contains all possibilities, as does the destination— they must be the same “place.”

We should discover our meaningful origin, so we can comprehend the direction, and purpose, of Life.

Our entire life and, more specifically, the decisions we make depend strictly on our understanding of the origin, along with our perception of the destination. Individual successes and the propagation of the human species hinges directly on this fundamental starting point.

What is the origin of human life?

Many people believe life originated from astronomical events, in which simple life forms evolved into complex geniuses. This approach or perspective doesn’t examine authorship; instead it assumes ownership. This approach doesn’t recognize that there might be a mastermind, while it offers explanations and justifications as if it were.

One answer is that human life began deliberately, predicating that, fundamentally, we owe our originality to the Creator. All that we become and produce throughout our lives may ultimately fulfill the Creator’s agenda.

When we accept that the place, which contains all possibilities, exists only once, we may realize that there is little need to reconstruct historical contexts and ambiguous facts. Because the destination and origin are the same, it is more productive to research and invest in the future, rather than philosophical pasts.
