Chapter 4

The Magic

  1. Homo-sapiens have been around for about 200,000 years
  2. We have produced about 100,000,000,000 examples
  3. I assume that each example has been CONSCIOUS and has had a personal consciousness – a “SELF”
  4. I’m an example – I assume that you are too

  5. Modern science doesn’t believe in reincarnation, so assumes that there must have already been 100,000,000 000 (That’s one-hundred billion) different human selves on THIS planet alone — ALREADY
  6. Is there an infinity of POTENTIAL human selves?
  7. If there is no reincarnation, how likely is it that I would exist right now?


  9. No telling how many life-bearing planets there are in this universe  
  10. Maybe, there is only one universe — but who knows?
  11. What percentage of reality have we humans figured out?

  12. There are six main animal groups on this planet: invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals – how many of these are “conscious” and how many have selves?
  13. Consciousness must exist in “degrees”
  14. To what DEGREE are these different groups conscious?

  15. Then, according to modern science, vegetation and even rocks MAY be conscious – look up “universal consciousness” on the web
  16. Then, what if there is more than one universe?

  17. Then, the word “awareness” sort of wakes me up – it refers to “consciousness,” but to me at least, it TRIGGERS a sense of MAGIC that the word “consciousness” doesn’t quite
  18. Think about it

  19. Then, there’s ME – if I can exist for only one finite time, that I CURRENTLY exist is absolutely amazing
  20. Especially, if time is infinite
  21. Though, I must admit that time may not be what I think it is…

  22. But anyway, what I’m getting at is Religion
  23. Religion is about “Meaning” – ULTIMATE meaning
  24. We all hope that there is such a thing – I’m not sure that there really is, but I do SUSPECT that there really is
  25. Though obviously, it is something that I cannot be very objective about…
  26. The following will be my attempt to display my reasoning
  27. Then there’s the magic of your own existence – your own awareness
  28. We each take our own existence/awareness for granted – but it’s the very last thing that we should
  29. Where in the hell do we come from?
  30. Could we be a basic part of reality?
  31. Do you see what I mean?

  32. Then, there’s the improbability of now being when you would happen to exist
  33.
