"Recognize the constructions of dogma— schools, communities, even families. This recognition is vital because, 'I was taught wrong' will not be an acceptable excuse before God. Following doctrines irresponsibly will not be a good alibi for our absent flat mind."

—The Dogma

Whether people believe Life is deliberate or anything less, its permanency is a point around which human actions revolve. While scholars may argue that permanence depends on how "Life" is defined, I leave it to you to define Life personally. However arrived, your and my definitions of Life have little to do with what it ultimately is.

Life defines itself.

We may say that people discover and present descriptions of Life. That is, we must understand that descriptions can describe, but definitions cannot define what we didn't "engineer." Let's say we describe Life, but let's not think we define Life— for we do not.

We can only perceive Life, cooperate with it, and react to it. Appreciating this premise is critical to forming our thoughts, which then shape our entire being. It's critical because our thoughts govern not only our lives, but also those of generations who inherit our cultures. In turn, our resulting mindset dictates how we perceive Life. Without due care, the circle of perception-mindset-perception can make us unfit to comprehend Life and its conditions.

One condition is that people can die from illnesses, accidents or, old age. Since the beginning of human history, people have inferred that life's temporary because we all die, as evident in the social and religious cultures today. Religious dogma also made a persistent case that this life is temporary. Because this is one of the founding premises of human life, we must understand its profound impact on humanity.

What does "temporary" mean?

It is a measure of being or existence relative to time. Traditionally, as long as we can measure something, people call it finite or temporary.

Human time fundamentally depends on the earth orbiting the sun, giving us night and day, or a 24-hour cycle. What would happen if the sun shone everywhere, such that we never have dusk, darkness, or dawn? Time would not be a valid measure from the beginning.

Obviously, the sun is not everywhere— but God is!

While our physical, or corporal, orbit circles the sun, where should our extra-corporal orbit revolve?
