You are not You, You are the Center

You are not who you think you are. Your body, mind, memories, mistakes and accomplishments are not you. You are the center. You are the watcher and the observer. You are eternal.

The real you is within. Everything that surrounds you is also you, but you need not reach out to grab it. Everything is part of you. To say "a part" would suggest that things exist separately. Things as separate is not a rational judgment, nor is it fact. The whole is really all there is. You are at the center, watching it all occur in spontaneity.

The mind is a wonderful thing. We can do wondrous things and accomplish feats that seem extraordinary, using our power of intuition and deductive reasoning. The knowledge that we gain appears to make life "better" and somehow advance mankind toward some unstated goal in the distant future. What are we trying to accomplish with our knowledge? What are we trying to prove?

Advances in medicine and pathology help to drastically increase the lifespan of the average person. By studying how living organisms "work" we are attempting to conquer and challenge existence's plan. Existence, by my own definition, is merely everything pertaining to life--life as a whole, and nothing separated from anything else. Existence is the only true fact. Existence is the only thing really happening. Existence is truth.

In attempting to use reason to explain existence, we simplify things. We can, in laboratories, perform experiments that lead to hypotheses that predict things. We hypothesize and predict very well. But, what is a cell really? Why does a cell do what it does? How does a cell know what it is to do.

Science does not explain why everything works. Sciences do a great job putting together well-written research papers that very logically tell us what a cell does and what an atom does at the subatomic level. Even if all the knowledge currently available were coded and put into a microchip, and that microchip put into a subject's brain, we would still have a voice inside that questions, from the center, WHY?
