Is reason supreme? Is it second to none? Does it answer to the spirit? Is it a lie? Was man bestowed with so precious a tool by chance? Has man been designed with this intensely awesome gift merely to let it rot in the dust of ritual, tradition, and superstition? If a person comes to an understanding of God, which surely must have something to do with the mind, then why are we to fear humanity's accomplishments through its use? Too many questions, not enough answers. I will be up front, I can give very few definitive answers for all of these questions; but what I will do is ask anyone who will honestly seek for truth to join me on this journey. Share your thoughts, experiences, and ideas with me; together we will embark on this life-long journey.
I do not pretend to be a scholar or a scientist of any sort. Nor do I claim to be a perfect human being. I am quite capable of error in all aspects of life, of that I am well aware. These writings are first of all not for anyone who cannot handle something which questions what they think they know (and have not tested). They are not for the arrogant and ignorant who think they have arrived at all truths, big or small. Finally, they are definitely not for the person who is seeking quick and easy answers to the hard questions life throws in our face, for much of what I will be discussing will only leave the reader with more questions than answers. Besides, as I am seeking the Truth, here, now, for my own sanity, each of you must also seek in the same manner, and experience it in your own lives. Indeed it is true that experience is a great teacher. Hopefully then, everyone who continues to read past this point will be open and completely honest in their personal search for the Truth.
