Laura Miller said . . .

Is it really better to light a candle
than to curse the darkness?

They say that a light
shone in the darkness

And the darkness
grasped it not

Maybe the darkness
just doesn't get it

Maybe sometimes
we just need to curse

Maybe sometimes
it needs to be dark

Maybe sometimes
we are just wasting a candle

Sin-meme and god-meme story errors.

We model our lives and load our self-guidance system with memes, meme stories and narratives.

Our reality is ever more awesome without the god-meme error.

Our experience of self is better without the sin-meme error.

The Bible is a collection of god-meme and sin-meme errors.

Update your memes, stories and narratives!

That the universe exists invokes an experience of awe, in our scalable perception. Is gravity perceptually scalable on a continuum?

At any scale, science memes and narratives about the universe are superior in explaining what we are and how we got here.

You are that: the universe, aware of itself in you, as you, in primate form, in primate mind--the universe aware of itself exploring itself through our primate senses, through all living things . . .

when we believe we can’t get what we want
by being honest.
