You know, this is the thing...No human beings have ever lived like us before in known history. No organisms have ever lived like us before in known history or science. No country has ever succeeded before like ours in known history, no technology or access to knowledge has ever existed like it does now. Not ever in known history.
You can say, I don't believe in God, it's too far fetched. But the fact that you are existing right now at the top of the evolutionary food chain in every major category isn't very likely either, except that's what's really happening. You happen to be the most evolved creature living in the most evolved time in the most evolved place in our known solar system maybe even much more beyond that. Isn't that a little odd to you? Meaning what are the odds? You've somehow won the evolutionary lottery in existing as a human being in this portion of history in the place you are in right now.
We live brainwashed with the illusion that what we're experiencing is normal and mundane, because we don't know anything else, but it's NEVEN EVER been this way in the history of all of known anything! It's really pretty incredible.
What gives me great hope is the fact that what is taking place is far too complex and intelligent to be happening by chance. You might think you're too intelligent to buy into something so ignorant. But it's really the other way around. Study evolution a little bit and you'll find it's full of holes. There's a much more probable theory that explains DNA as a cosmic seed scattered throughout the universe that grows and advances as environments change (often as a result of living things in the environment). If you know anything about computer code, DNA is code. Instead of executing in a computer the code executes in nature amidst atoms and molecules. How did that code accidentally come to be? It's like thinking Mario Brother's accidentally came into existence. An intelligent acting agent created it. Or manipulated what was already there to tie it together. Study it a little bit.
The other thing that gives me hope is that when I pray...really hard, and really sincerely, pretty weird and miraculous things start happening...try it. There's something intelligent in the fabric of reality that knows who you are, what you're thinking, and what you're feeling and if you poke it hard enough, it pokes back.
It's all very strange. I wouldn't believe any of it, except for it's all happening in reality right now to me. I am so fascinated by existing. You just wake up here one day as a three year old and then thirty years later you realize no body has any idea what we are doing here. We're floating on a ball in outer space. None of us have a clue, we fight and argue and pretend to know. But we really don't know the first thing. Reality is so complex and intelligent and strange, but most of all real. I think it's critical that you wake up in our own skin one day and realize we don't know who we are, life is huge, reality is huge, there are clues all about us, and this is a timed test because one day you die. All so strange. You hope you figure it all out before the end, but it doesn't look like many ever have.
The more I learn about the truth, the more unbelievable the truth becomes. It's such an irony that what's actually real is so unbelievable. Why would reality be oriented this way? Why would it be friendly or favor us in any way whatsoever. It's terrifying to think about what is really true because why on earth would it be good? Why would it favor you? There's no reason for it to. But the strange thing is... that the truth really is favoring you. You at the top of the evolutionary chain in literally every category. What are the odds? It doesn't make any sense at all, but it's true. You can test it. Experiment, try it. We get so busy talking ourselves into all sorts of realities, that we never ever start to poke and prod the real one. An ounce of faith, out on a ledge. Reach out to see if there's something there, and it's so strange when in reality, it reaches back.
Nuclear Testing
This quick clip shows the history of nuclear explosions over the past century. If you ever wonder why everyone you know dies of cancer, this should definitely give you a clue.
