Is this not just another degree of separation?As we delve deeper into
the individual mind more questions arise. As we move farther away from
the rhythm, vibration, the "feeling" of the world, solar system, and up
to the universe (Higgs boson particle/wave, we move more deeply into the
realm of the single entity, the ego. But this "deeper delving" can only
occur when we have the freedom or "spare time" and the early stimulus
from family and community to do so instead of running from wolves,
chasing the antelope or attempting to "pay" for our lives in this day
and age.
Is the "understanding' only to be thought of, or is it to be *felt*? Can
a "vibration" be properly understood by thought if one has never felt
it. Just as difficult to explain "heat" with words if there is no
concept of the "feeling" of something hot (the intense vibration of
flame). By only nurturing the mind, we run the risk of separating from
the spirit, thus placing ourselves inappropriately above all else. By
relinquishing the feelings, do we not run the risk of further separation
of individuals thus leading to further insanity as the ego demands more
and more for its self in this realm but which will never be received due
to the loss of connection to the spirit? Just as there is more to life
than work, there is more to the human than just mind or thought.

[PV] I dont know, I rather think we would all be better off if we would
stand up to the challenge of learnig to be comfortable with just
saying "I don't know". I think it's the first step required on the
journey to discovering what is actually going on.
But will we ever know "what is actually going on"? It's only been
comparatively recently that we've realized that 95% of the mass-energy
of the universe is quite unlike anything else we know and is, at
present, completely unknowable. Then, too, as the particle physicists
peel away yet another layer (e.g. the Higgs boson) in particle
accelerators, will we ever get to the end of it?
To me, the biggest mystery of all is that, whether we believe in a
God-created universe or, simply, in one as-is or, at creation and
shortly thereafter, as-was (when we're talking of Higgs' and other
particles) then how come that we, a by-product of it, are actually
asking questions that are far more incisive and curious than anything
that might have been selected for mere daily survival by the normal
process of evolution.
