Life, The Never Ending Journey
Riley Martin
 

"Listen up"... Life is eternal. The mere fact that you are, means that you always have been and shall never cease to be. You did not begin in this place, time or even on this planet. In essence, you are just passing through. Please don't screw it up.

The force that is life, is, by its very nature a universal wayfarer. At its most rudimentary form, it may drift as, sub-isotopic particles, on the shifting winds of the cosmos for thousands of ions. Before being deposited in the saline acids of some volatile virgin planet.

By the basic elemental of biology, all chemically activated life forms, must conform to the existing ecomodus and composture of that planetary body's nurture factors. Thus, the planet did not create the essence of life, but simply supplied nutrients to its aspirations.

Aside from cognizant colonization of new planets, life must start from bio-scratch. Thus was our coming. Yet , you must understand that the trilobites, the mud-skipper and the simian may one day, walk on water, heal the sick, build pyramids and transmit satellite visions from their home on other planets.

When a life form evolves to a cognizant level, it begins to question the way of its being. Next, it seeks to discern its purpose in the scheme of things. It learns to discover the mystic resonance of its surroundings, and the nature of things all around. By and by, the life forms begins to actively seek to alter the natural direction of its surroundings and thus its destiny.

Mysterious objects in the sky, strange visitors and weird dreams leads the life form inevitably into the perceived realm of the extra and paranormal dimensions. Priests, priestesses and other mystic dreamers arises. Cognizant thought and directed curiosity, leads to discovery and invention. Invention leads to art and linguistic expression. Linguistic expression leads to concepts of omnipotence, concepts of Gods.

The time will come when the life form will gain the ability to either fashion a true utopia or the ability to bring about total destruction. The choice that intelligent life form makes, will dictate the measure of its progression or decline. We now stand on the brink of the ultimate decision. It is only by the contents of our spiritual wish and honorable endeavors, shall we endure to weather the coming storm of extreme Earth and sociological changes. We don't have much time left. Will we seek tolerance and reason or intolerance, greed and death?

May peace be with you.
