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.
