Sooner or later on this journey, every traveller faces the same question: Are you a human intending to be a god, or a god pretending to be human?

In absence of consciousness, human beings would merely be animated material objects. Without the synergistic impact of consciousness, free will, and perception of a cohesive self, which act to direct human conduct, many of the qualities that we associate with our humanness would be moot or superfluous delusions including laughter and pain, memories and thoughts, love and anger, imagination and dreams. Without consciousness and free will, humankind would lack the ability to choose right from wrong and there could be no mental discipline directing each person__ lifestyle, attitudes, and belief systems.

There are no higher levels of consciousness, there are only different ways of perceiving things.

Enjoy the rainbow while it lasts and don't chase it when it's gone.

Happiness: the feeling of being alive.

Nothing succeeds like indifference to success.
