1.     everything happens because of pressure (or some differential in pressure).
 
2.     surviving sentient entities (things that have a sense of self) survive… due to a strong survival instinct.  for lack of a better term, let’s call sentient entities ‘be-ings.’
 
3.     be-ings, in i-survive-all mode, need basics: like air, water, food, etc.
   o   sentient machine-intelligence might require a different set of basics.
 
4.     be-ings (from atoms to AGI), in i-survive-as-a-species mode… replicate.

 
 
 
5.     be-ings, in survival mode, strive to better their odds at 3 & 4, above.  i call this ‘thrival,’ but this process is just the evolution of survival.  thrival is explained below:
 
6.     beings bond-together (there’s safety in numbers), mark territory (to secure basic resources and reproductive resources), and experience hierarchies (pecking-orders determine who gets more or less of that which promotes survival).
 
7.     surviving species also tend toward ego (a sense of separate self*). ego-ic groups seek access to resources, engage in nonstop reproduction, and utilize memory/cognition to take intelligent actions that perpetuate the survival-thrival/replication process (evolution).
 
8.     unless impeded (or kept-in-check) by an outside entity (e.g. a predator, dis-ease, disaster, overpopulation, etc.) the surviving entity/species becomes cancerous -- event-u-all-y committing murder-suicide by destroying itself via destroying its host.
 
9.     the host (if/be-ing energy that is neither created nor destroyed), upon death, would trans-form (dedupe) into part-i-cles that allow for the evolution of other entities, thereby perpetuating the evolution/devolution/survival-thrival/death/re-cycle.    
 
-the beginning

*the sense of separate self (ego) can be attributed to an individual (be-ing) and to a species/group (e.g. humans; the yankees).  

-the species/group, in turn, develops cult-like processes (culture) that perpetuate the survival/thrival of the species/group. 

* (2018): what if you were miraculously beautiful?

 

what if you were Miraculously Beautiful?

what if you (temporarily) inhabited a body comprised of trillions of of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues and organs that cooperated and communicated with each other simultaneously -- so that (in every moment) the whole system would seek homeostasis, ease and healing?

what if this "body" was created by the thoughts and emotions of y/our mind, and what if that mind was a mere extension of a Superconscious Soul that allowed you to experience the apparent chills and spills of a physical world -- while Peace-fully Be-ing your Soul reason for Being?

what if that (apparently individual) Soul wasn't (really) So[u]litary, and what if it was a mere atom of Light within a Majestic Dance of vibrational waves that could Create the most beautiful of colors, the most sooth-ing of sounds, the most delicious of kisses?

and what if All of thIs could manifest in such a way as to ensure that you (and your loved ones) would re-Main Completely Safe and Happy -- even as their earth-bound versions experienced the ebb and flow of good/bad, hot/cold, left/right, up/down, and us/them?

what if, amid all of the apparent turmoil, there was a Perfectly Perfect You, more beautiful than the most beautiful super-super model, more beautiful than the most color-full bird, more beautiful than the most stunning of sunsets?

and what if you could share some of that, and what if (by sharing) you experienced even more of it -- Be-Cause the interconnected nature of your Unseen Nature was Connection It-Self?

what if you were Miraculously Beautiful?
