The Real Me Is Truth and Love

With knowledge we have learned to improve human life, to propel us forward from our caveman days.  Invention, innovation, cutting edge technology has given us more material wealth than we could possibly every live to enjoy.  With knowledge, came the need for education, with education came philosophy, creeds, political systems, ways of life, ways of being ways  and ways that you can live.

Humans live off of the knowledge of other human beings, we live within structures that don't really exist outside of our human world.  Most of the time, the way you live is determined by where you live, every culture has different rules that are based on passed down traditions. Your culture provides you with structure, culture can tell you who you are and give you purpose in your life if you allow it to.  Take your culture and move to another country and you will see similarities and differences between you and your new people.

The biggest example of how I live in a human structured world is the concept of time.  I wake up in the morning and there it is staring back at me from the face of the clock, but what are
years days and hours outside of human world?  Sometimes one minute can feel like an hour sometimes one day feels like an eternity but sometimes the months fly by so fast I'm already into the next year.  How I feel about time is really determined by how I'm feeling about myself looking at the clock can cause me unwarranted anxiety.  So I wonder does one hour mean anything to a tree? Does the sun know or care how long it has been burning brilliant, warming our earthly atmosphere? Disease does not know or care about how old you are it will ravish you just the same.  Time doesn't mean anything if you are not human being, time is a human invention.

 But I find that life can and does exist outside of our human structuring of it;  life naturally gives me everything I need to survive.  If it were not for human structure there would still be air to breath,food to eat and water to drink.  These things are the only survival necessities, everything else is an illusion, beautiful but ultimately unnecessary.
