"What the sense feels and what the spirit discerns, neither has its end in itself. But both sense and spirit would like to persuade you that they are the end of all things: that is how vain they are. Mere instruments and toys are sense and spirit: behind them still lies the Self. The Self also seeks with the eyes of the senses, it also listens with the ears of the spirit. Always the Self listens and seeks; it compares, masters, conquers, destroys. . . it rules, and is in control of the "I" [identity program]. Behind your thoughts and feelings there is a mighty lord, an unknown sage - his name is Self; he dwells in your body, he is your body. It is the creating Self that created respect and contempt, it created pleasure and pain. The creative body created spirit as a hand for its will. Even in man's folly and contempt they each serve themselves - despisers of the body. I tell you, your Self itself wants to die and turns away from life. No longer can your Self do that which it desires most: to create beyond itself. That is what it would naturally be inclined to do. . ."

~Nietzsche -"Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

thought for baylin....humanity is growing more and more familiar with playing genetic games. they are getting closer and closer to "birthing" a concise separate from their own. will there be a time when the two are combined? *assuming they dont lay waste to themselves first* thats just "scientifically" speaking and not delving much past the physical. on this train of thought, perhaps humanities "god" was but a scientist who manufactured them....who, in turn, had evolved to that point of concise ability and who was manufactured....by a manufactured....by a manufactered.........each conciseness being formed as a creation and in due time becomes the creator....a continuing cycle of the concise of the All fragmenting and returning.............the Anunaki are known geneticists.........just a thought......
