One aspect of this is the way we have come during recent centuries to appreciate that the world and indeed the very universe in which we live have evolved over immense periods of time.

If you take a more Darwinian point of view the dynamics of the universe are such that as the universe evolved in time, complex systems arose out of the natural dynamics of the universe.

The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

The future of the world no longer disturbs me; I do not try still to calculate, with anguish, how long or how short a time the Roman peace will endure; I leave that to the Gods. Not that I have acquired more confidence in their justice, which is not our justice, or more faith in human wisdom; the contrary is true. Life is atrocious, we know. But precisely because I expect little of the human condition, man's periods of felicity, his partial progress, his efforts to begin over again and to continue, all seem to me like so many prodigies which nearly compensate for monstrous mass of ills and defeats, of indifference and error. Catastrophe and ruin will come; disorder will triumph, but order will too, from time to time. Peace will again establish itself between two periods and there regain the meaning which we have tried to give them. Not all our books will perish, nor our statues, if broken, lie unrepaired; other domes and pediments will rise from our domes and pediments; some few men will think and work and feel as we have done, and I venture to count upon such continuators, placed irregularly throughout the centuries, and upon this kind of intermittent immortality.

A Highly Evolved Being
A highly evolved being
would not kill,
A highly evolved being,
would meditate and be still.
A highly evolved being
is “positively aware”
of everything including
birds in the air.
A highly evolved being
enjoys everything
and needs nothing.
They do not need see evil to be
“Postively Aware”.
For a highly evolved being
only shares,
and really cares
For all are ALL ONE,
from the same source,
For life becomes a meditation
and everything is a part of the whole,
everything works together
helping each other grow.
Grow and become the best
that they can be,
To be an effect on the future
and make it filled with merriness and glee.

There are periods in history when change is necessary, and other periods when it is better to keep everything for the time as it is. The art of life is to be in the rhythm of your age.

If We Lived In A Highly Evolved Society
What can we aspire to be,
as a highly evolved society?
There would no need for any laws,
people would come from higher consciousness,
and not hurt each other at all.
We would not need to kill, abuse or repress,
any of our people and deny them happiness.
All of basic needs would be met,
people could then all be what they were meant to be,
if we would live in a highly evolved society.
But I’m afraid it will be some time,
before this ever happens on this planet Earth divine.
Now read “Conversations with God”
you will see how we live in the “Land Of Nod”.

Love Is Like The Wind
love is like the wind
in constant movement
constant movement
love is like the wind
centuries after centuries
love repeats itself
in the vagueness of this universe
constant movement
in this incomprehensible universe
love is like the wind
invisible intouchable in
this fascinating world
fascinating invincible
attraction destruction
happyness sadness
its love that carries
this constant movement
like the wind

When two hearts bonded together
When the clouds in the cosmos bonded together; there
pelted down showers of ferocious and sparkling rain,
When the minuscule winds in the atmosphere bonded
together; there evolved a tumultuous storm that swept
turbulently across the entire city,
When all the inconspicuous little ripples of water
bonded together; there was formed the colossal ocean;
smashing and swirling magnificently against the cold
blooded rocks,
When the seed and earth bonded together; there arose a
majestic tree; sprinkling scores of appetizing fruits
on the famished soil,
When diminutive wisps of smoke bonded together; there
blazed a Kingly fire; escalating handsomely towards
the sky; imparting loads of warmth and reprieve from
freezing winds winter,
When all fingers of the palm bonded together; there
evolved a strength so unprecedented; that it could
fight against any evil loitering on this earth,
When all loose bones strewn haphazardly on the ground
bonded together; there evolved the perfectly
synchronized body; which ran, ate, slept, wept, in
splendid harmony,
When all pieces of stray and incongruous stones bonded
together; there evolved the imposing structure of the
building; which wholesomely catered to the life of
thousands of individuals,
When all the small fish in the sea bonded together;
there evolved a battalion of unsurpassable tenacity;
easily capable of defeating the most gargantuan of
whale and shark,
When the shattered petals of different creepers bonded
together; there evolved a flower with the most
stupendous of scent,
When all the disheveled twigs lying desolate on the
ground bonded together; there evolved a mighty bridge
which didn’t budge an inch even in the most vicious of
storm waters,
When all tribes existing in different part of the
earth bonded together; there evolved a land with no
bloodshed; and laden with immortal bliss,
When varied colors existing under the Sun bonded
together; there evolved a single color; that was
virtually impossible to dissipate by any attack,
When all words and languages spread far and distant
across the periphery of the Universe bonded together;
there evolved the language of compassion; which was
the richest of all,
When all minds existing on this globe bonded together;
there evolved the best ideas ever imaginable;
metamorphosing the continent into a paradise once
again; to unitedly live in,
When all countries bifurcated into bits and pieces
bonded together; there evolved an astronomical
superpower utterly invincible,
When all religions prevalent across the world bonded
together; there evolved the divine religion of
humanity,
When Man and Woman created by God bonded together;
there came into existence the entire planet; and the
world what we so profoundly admire today,
And when two hearts throbbing violently bonded
together; there evolved a mountain of passionate
romance; a formidable fortress of love and care; that
even God found difficult to conquer and prevented
others from doing so…

I think up until that time a lot of focus on Internet coverage was either sort of the bits and bytes aspect of it, sort of the high-tech aspect of it, and the sociological aspect of it, which is how it was transforming culture.

I am convinced that when the history of international law comes to be written centuries hence, it will be divided into two periods: the first being from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century, and the second beginning with the Hague Conference.

In comparing therefore the value of the same commodity, at different periods of time, the consideration of the comparative skill and intensity of labour, required for that particular commodity, needs scarcely to be attended to, as it operates equally at both periods.

We became friends as we became a band. Our friendship evolved as the band evolved. It had its ups and downs, but it was mostly ups for the four of us. We got along well almost all of the time. Hey! We liked each other and we still do.

I Am Magic
I am magic, I am a singer of great grade,
One borrows from time the immense music
That is played all-through and connects it
With the life of eternal happiness.
This is the peace of the universe, it sings
And it blasts sound and light, making me live.
The sounds that ache collect,
Pains of the limbs collect,
Pain is everywhere, it is pinpointed,
So that we gain knowledge of God.
Hopefully my magical being shall be sung as well.

FROM the most powerful nation
of this world
SuperObama is produced,
flying beyond the speed of light
the mind that encompasses
the anticipation of the universe
dam of the immense flood
saving each American
from a predicted
poverty
for the next twenty years
or more
perhaps,
the Third World in faithful adherence
shall share the grief
and mourns
in utter
silence.

World Of Moo 5.1.2009
“Life Evolved on other planets would not necessarily bear
any resemblance to humans.” p.110
Took a voyage through Life, Space and
Time to the Ends of the Universe, quantum
physicists say there is a parallel universe
for every imaginative idea, no matter how
strange; therefore
I am delighted to discover the world of
Moo, a world with only one-tenth of our
gravity, cold except during star-rise and
star-set, lifeforms adapted, curling up
in the cold
Two large eyes for seeing in dim light, aided
by a circle of compound all-round vision eyes
to see in bright light; purple gills on top to
breathe in thin air, mouth near the ground
for eating plants
Rubbing tentacles together to make a con-
versation, Moo-man interlocking a special
tentacle with Moo-woman to reproduce,
while she curls protectively around her
new offspring
Growing from a different tentacle; she has
the sweetest purple face, all Moo-creatures
depicted in shades of purple and turquoise,
the images are lovely - Moo-man and his
Moo-woman look adorable!

Love
The longer I live and the more I see
Of the struggle of souls towards the heights above,
The stronger this truth comes home to me---
That the Universe rests on the shoulders of love,
A love so limitless, deep, and broad,
That men have re-named it, and called it God.
And nothing that was ever born or evolved,
Nothing created by light or force
But deep in its system there lies dissolved
A shining drop from the great Love source;
A shining drop that shall live for aye;
Though kingdoms may perish and stars decay.
