The third and for now last in the trilogy which completes the image of man as a System in a way more loving style. Realizations on the fly, which lead to surprising insights even for me....
Excerpt:
My granddad may well have read Einstein's very modest statement quoted just now, since he was alive around Einstein's time, as common lore has it. As a matter of fact we all are, but let's not get into that just yet. My granddad was, for all intents and purposes, the very opposite of Albert Einstein: a farmer's son, who's biggest passion was rhyming about and for the people in the village where he lived. Does that mean he and Einstein were totally different? Heck no! Before his breakthrough, even Einstein was an everyday patent clerk with a passion for science and technology, and how it pertained to the All. And the saying above only proved that after the vindication which his scientific work brought him, he was still every bit as normal as my granddad and any one of us.
Now we all have countless experiences every day, and in one way or another, we use those in shaping our way of life. Einstein worked with numbers, and as such he used the framework of science to build his theories. Likewise, my granddad used events happening in his life and those of others, to write his poetry about. And to keep in style, most of my writing is also about my passion: figuring out the All! Funny sync is that without knowing about the eventual sync myself, I started a movie called Super 8 a while ago, which right now shows me aliens do it in essentially the same way: our cornered alien needs to rebuild his spaceship, and to him or her all the objects and people around are fit to use for repairing its ship or remaining fed. Too bad though, he or she didn't take the time to learn about the proper use of humans before finishing the ship. I guess RTFM even happens way out there...
Building upon their achievements, and those of many others , I've come to believe that we may base our actions on those events, but we need not restrict ourselves to them. We are not standing on top of a pyramid of beings after all, but right in between them. Some of them support us physically, others do it in virtual way, across electronic or spiritual boundaries. Basically, if we restrict ourselves, we may think we're sticking to the reality we call truth, as opposed to going further than anyone told you, and calling it discovery or fiction. But what if the information you receive isn't quite truthful, or you interpret it incorrectly? Well, you can worry about it, or take the next step from where the Buddha ended up, and simply enjoy it all right Here and Now. It is merely a matter of believing that the Grand Design a.k.a. the Incredible Machine, the Cosmos or the All isn't called that for nothing: being Infinite, it will always have room for all possible outcomes of any event, so there is no way to choose incorrectly: every possible fantasy will even be reality somewhere! Basically, it is like a grand library: you walk in, and when you walk out you take some book(s) to read. The other books remain in there, simply because they weren't your choice at that moment. OK, some you may never read, but other people might love them!
