Psi Phi:
Perhaps, the reality is that we are all like snowflakes, pretty much the same, not one snowflake really anymore special than the next, all made of the same stuff, just different intricate patterns, but basically the same,
Oh, and we are all melting, eventually to dissolve back into the Universe...
So, is this all we are, all we ever were?
So, if this is really all we are, universe stuff coming together and falling apart, endlessly and cyclic, then why does the mind have a tendency to fight and resist the true nature of things? The mind wants to survive, but this is absurd, it is already surviving, the mind can't have more surviving, yet the craving for existence lingers. Is that a dilemma or a paradox? And if the mind lets go of this wish and craving to survive, since it already has it, then what, freedom, liberation? Attainment of Nothing.
Rush Freewill "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
"Freewill"There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
'The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign...'
Blame is better to give than receive
[Chorus:] You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill
There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotusland
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
