Excellent post Kooka
as always--free thought is one of our most unappreciated qualities being human (there are those who would like to keep us from exercising it). I let my imagination wander beyond this visual reality and came up with this poem: Thought Transcribed -- of course, the ever wise Painter posed the unanswerable question in my comments (blush) which I didn't attempt to reply.

Kooka gets the D&D
and the A D & D
very old --
otherwise we all "see through a glass, darkly."
once we understand that, maybe then we can yearn to see more clearly
finding a good glass cleaner should help

kooka, D&D eh? E-bay wonder items! Hopefully we'll all remain alive to
see Jesus return in the clouds.

And sis
Daddy don't have too much really. His wife would get what she wanted I would guess, and then whatever was left would most likely end up going to me since I highly doubt you or our sister is going to be very interested in stuff like D&D books (Although they are all first edition as far as I know and some are doubles of what I already have).

kooka, the greatest accomplishments and inventions come from great
minds presenting ideas, massaging new thoughts and discussing possibilities, so I'm with you on that.
I'll pass on dinner...I think your dad still wants some of that cherry pie I posted a while back. He talks about it a lot. LOL
Seriously, thanks for the discussion and have a good weekend.

This post is very much just ideas. I have not presented anything here as being fact, just possibilities. Part of the path to understanding comes form seeing possibilities, even if some seem far fetched and outrageous.
Your beliefs are what you perceive as being what makes the most sense as to how things work.
As for dinner, we're going to mom's, although I am not sure if you can call her mom. I am sure she has no idea bout you. You would most likely call my step-mother mom. So maybe next time.

It's obvious to me, after this post, that "our" father, the painter,
must leave all things to me after he "ventures on" to create new universes.
Seriously, you bring up some good points and I can't help but agree that to a small extent, we are creators in our own universes. I have actually written about this many times. But everything you say is only theory, with nothing to back you up except your own perception, and your own "beliefs."
I base my beliefs on what I believe to be God's Word. Its ancient texts DO tell how things began, although much is left out. My perception of reality is based on the Word...and the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us as Christ. From there, Christ taught the true nature of God, the Father Creator, and no matter what wonderful ideas I can conceive to become more than I am -- a god, the fact remains, I believe, Mr. Kooka, dear brother, that God is still God and I am still a mere mortal.
What's for dinner? I'm coming over, bearing gifts for the kids -- Bibles hahahhahaha
