it is what it is
This is a thought that I felt was important to post and share. Ultimately the flow of how things themselves unravel seems to be done by power itself. I think Nietzsche spoke of the same conclusion when he spoke of the will to power being the ultimate fundamental microscopic and macroscopic force being the initial cause for how all things unfold. This being a very abstract fundamental force that is being referred to. Power is behind how it is that all living organisms begin to unravel. Although many religious attempts to comprehend and claim the source behind the will to power itself were for example: the Judaic Godhead will of Yahweh, Islamic will of Allah, the Christian Godhead trinity (omnipotent god, Christ the son, and the holy spirit) will, Buddhism striving toward Nirvana, Hinduism striving toward Moksha, ect. All are acts of striving toward some ultimate goal of reaching a point of release from the suffering of existence/sin.
It seems that also that the modern scientific aim is to reach a nullification of suffering via power provided by advancements in human understanding and discovery. There is one very important and major difference to be referred to regarding the modern scientific end-goal and the spiritual end-goal. It primarily rest on the notion of there being spaces beyond the realm of the human will or not. I for one do believe there is more to existence that is beyond the scope of the physical domain. Years and years of wisdom and human perseverance through tremendous difficulties have left behind many different stories through history that hint that there is indeed more to the human spirit than we are capable of harnessing and controlling through the physical will to power.
The story of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha), Jesus Christ, Arjuna, Krishna, Vishnu, and many more that I simply do not know of, refer to a spectrum that is beyond the grasp of humanities will to power. If you have heard the phrase: “Knowledge is power,” than it is very fitting within reason to see that the knowledge of history provides powerful building blocks toward the realization of ending suffering. If you then apply the same reason to religious historical accounts of there being something certainly beyond the scope of the physical realm within powers sake, then it seems to be very reasonable to conclude that a spiritual intangible domain beyond the will to power may justifiably be the truth.
I feel that it is important to accept and believe via faith that a domain that is beyond the physical realm of object-oriented existence is worth considering in our daily lives. Taking each step in life requires thoughts and decisions, thus, belief is an inherent part of each and every decision that dictates our path in life. What a person chooses to belief in fragments of time ultimately is the fundamental pillar that begins each and every moment of being. The reason I think it is important to recognize that there is certainly more to existence than the physical domain is that for those that do maintain the belief that there is, it begins to unravel within a power schematic that one mentality begins to oppress and restrict the other. In a dual scheme, if a power schematic that recognizes physical objects as being the ultimate endpoint dominates the other schematic which recognizes a domain that is beyond the physical world, then a hostile dynamic beings to manifest between the two.
What if both abide by altruistic benevolent means? Still, language between both parties will abide by contrary principles from two different perspectives. Differing fundamental initial truths yield drastically different starting-points for relations among the two parties. Ultimately it seems to be that there must be a final conclusion that is either: dominate-submissive, submissive-dominate, or equal. For equality it is either: both absolutely reject a spiritual domain or the mutual acceptance of such a domain.
I do believe that an absolute firm limit exists for the finite period of time that we inhabit each and every moment of existence. Grasp hold of your time within the body you inhabit and apply the memory of yourself to, and do the very best that you can do, and maintain love and hope for all that you do. It is what it is ya know?
Cheers!
