Awareness is primordial; it is the original state, beginning-less, endless, uncaused, unsupported, without parts, without change. Consciousness is on contact, a reflection against a surface, a state of duality. There can be no consciousness without awareness, but there can be awareness without consciousness…

Life does not begin, nor does it end. Life just is. It continues just like a forest that loses a tree, the spirit and life of the forest is there.  Just like a lawn is a single organism of grass all interconnected, the universe itself is ... continue reading at  A Higher Plane

Soul vibrations are no less tangible than sound waves, though their nature and medium of
propagation are more exotic. They employ the same medium through which light and radio waves
travel but are made of potential waves rather than electromagnetic waves. This means the soul
vibratory field (also known as the aura) consists of fields and waves far subtler than electric or
magnetic fields, which is why conventional instruments cannot detect the aura.

Photography brings me closer to nature, which I discovered holds great truth and beauty.  It gives a sense of purpose to share these experiences and to bring nature to others.
  Art allows a means of expression and inspiration to see things from new and exciting perspectives.  Rybird

​The Circle of Alpha and Omega

Where, what, is the beginning  and the end of the proverbial circle?
If one was to draw a circle, the first thing that would be required is the desire to
do so. Thus the answer to the spiritual and philosophic illustration  to the 
question why, how, where is the beginning of the universe, is this: 
 see "A Higher Plane 'of Thinking'"  for the answer to this and more.

Why does life strive to live?
Primal earth conditions became suited for creating organic material spontaneously.
In the system of physics and chemistry as it existed, there became stable structures, and unstable ones, but at one point a replicator arose in this system, and grew to dominate. These became cellular organisms that, at first glance, seemed to be attempting to "survive", but have really were just been the most efficient replicator from a series of ancestors.
Then  a tipping point' or critical mass of sorts was reached where the primitive self replicators begin to survive. And through the process somewhere, consciousness sprang up as a more successful method to continue replicating and surviving. And upon becoming more complex organisms emotions and thought became the tools for survival. These complex feelings mixed with millions of years of instinct drive humans to question death. Then we try to answer the fundamental question...
