Osmosis Jones

Have you seen this movie? It's about the cells in a man's body living consciously with the many natural behaviors we observe in them. The cells take on many "humanly" characteristics. I'm wondering about the possibility of this. Truth is not dependent on our awareness of it. As humans, there is so much we don't know and so much more we don't even know we don't know.

I could accept the fact that the cells in our bodies live in similar ways as we do. Understanding their role in some greater environment (however limited it is) and that of the things "below" them or "of a lesser level". So our human body would be their Earth or greater environment and they would understand their bodies - mitochondria, nuclei, etc... In the same way as humans, these cells might not be able to connect their purpose or role beyond that of the immediate greater environment they perceive. They consider themselves the most important thing in life, in their universe, which is only the human body. So, from a human perspective, while these cells have great importance to all things, they would not be considered the most important by any means.

How are we as humans similar to the cells in Osmosis Jones. Humans commonly refer to themselves as having a higher intellect or as being a higher level species. It is also a prevalent thought that we are the only life in the Universe with this higher intellect. Perhaps at least in the known universe, but what do we really know? I am open to humans being equivalent to some extremely small level of micro life. Such that the Earth is some cell to the tissue that is our solar system. Then the collection of solar systems in our Milky Way galaxy would make an organ. A cluster of galaxies would be an organ system. Clusters working together would be the organism. The One. The higher being. Everything connected, everything serving some unique function and playing an important role to contribute to, everything.

infinity = 1
(1 not necessarily equaling infinity - I am 1 but I am not infinity but only a part of it)


Just some random thoughts that popped into my head today. Help me develop/process them if you would.

What is an Ideal World?

What Is an Ideal world?

            For me, an ideal world would be in balance. The harmony of our energies would create no waste or excess. All would have access to the essential elements of human life such as clean waters and atmosphere. Food would be used for energy not gluttony. Together, we would create a viable and sustainable connection with the environment so that its precious resources would be respected yet used to their full potential.

The equilibrium of nature is a beautiful thing. Given the nature of humans, it must be fought for with integrity to keep it. Positive focus, direction, and intent always on mind, the energy from our spirits would power the conduits of the body to instill these transactions. Humans must see themselves as a collected species, as one race. Ideally, working together to ensure quality life for the whole of its population. Our collaborated efforts would promote a collected advancement and evolution of our very gifted species.

Ideally…

·         Sharing over greed

·         Love over hate

·         Respect over violence

Yet what if this Ying Yang is necessary for the fluidity of life??

o   I caught myself taking a step back from make that list. I thought of the implications of one over another. How is the delicate balance affected when good triumphs over evil? Should they rather dance dangerously together mirroring their opposite. 

Of course it seems better to have more good than bad on a spectrum. But what exactly would those implications be? What do you think? 

Look at the past few posts about awareness of life and death. Avoiding death is an unconsciously natural direction of the mind but is it always beneficial?
