the root of all that is is consciousness- the essence of life.

This is my favorite part of your post.
Everything - EVERYTHING - is energy. And energy is consciousness. Consciousness is life.
God is conscious energy. And we are made of the same. We are God, and God is us. We are the leaves of the tree...
So why do we insist upon separating ourselves from the universe? Why do we insist upon poisoning the tree, upon drifting free with the wind and dying alone?
This is the question we must ask.edit on CMondayam444413f13America/Chicago05 by Starchild23 because: (no reason given)

Here's my summary of existence.
There. It's in the quoted area. As you can plainly see the box is empty of any and all words or symbols. But is this box totally devoid of information? No, the box is a grey area. That is my summary of existence. A grey area.

Survival is not required when one is eternal.
Intelligence does not need to grow, it is intelligent energy. It is all knowing. The human mind just needs to realize 'this', instead of believing it's own thoughts.edit on 21-3-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

But we're not eternal. We die around 80 years old. Perhaps we exist eternally in some other form, but survival is required for this temporary one.

I think the human mind should get rid of thoughts all together. When there's no thoughts, then the mind is much freer. Stress is a known killer. Most thoughts are stressors.
