When we humans care, we do so so deeply and so compassionately because we see the world so colorfully....
Our imaginations are all we survive on. We actually have grown so numerous, and have had so much education, that we actually do live entirely in a world of ideas. History, that grandiose sense of time, is all ideas. We transmit our memory frames into language, symbol, song; and dependent on the length of the story, the more realistic they could convey the time. (God, what does that say for all of our storytellers?)
--> Wow. Jesus. We are all storytellers.
What if the original Judaic Genesis story was just our best recollections. What if these are the real seeds of human history?
Religions tell the most obvious, the most passionately believed, most comforting and believable ideas of where we come from, and what not only do we mean, but how we mean.
Language. Rhythm. Light. Oh, and Touch. These are the current four dimensions that simultaneously free us and necessarily imprison us. Our sense organs are to be revered. (How did RNA become so highly evolved? Who would have thought we sprang from 4 random building blocks of carbon life.)
