Hope you enjoyed the last post

I hope you also had a great Easter. Yesterday I felt like being poetic. I in fact am not tired, well, I am always a little tired. Too many hours on the road and at work. Too many years; but, not Chandler tired.

Sometimes it is nice just to write, to put thoughts out that are not thought out. LOL. That was a joke. What shall we discuss tonight, anything. Maybe not, maybe just type. I will ramble.

Today, I read a pamphlet by the Rosicrucian Order. It was interesting and predictable. They wrote what one should expect, if one knows what they believe. This is not a complaint, it is an understanding. The Rosicrucians, Masons, "Illuminati", Satanists, Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists... all have beliefs. If you know what they believe, you should not be surprised by what they say they believe. You may agree or disagree with their conclusions but should know their beliefs. Heck, you might agree.

I believe we are self aware beings, spiritual beings living in a material world for a time. That is the starting point. The question is what is the ending poing. It is a joke, eternity has no ending point. We seek perfecting in ourselves and others, then what? Perfection is death, it results is stasis.

I will put it another way. What is the goal of life if life is eternal? Ahhh, he is tricky one. The answer is: eternal growth. That means eternal change and never getting to the perfect. LOL.

What then is perfection? We consider perfection in Platonic (the man, not friendly) terms and we come to the conclusion that there is a thing to be achieved that when we achieve it, our work is done. I am Aristotilain in my beliefs, perfection is a process that is ever changing. Evolutionary if you will.

Perfection is the process by which eternal imperfection is improved and stasis is never reached. Complicated in it's simplicity to be sure. Still, the simplest question is what is perfection if there is eternity? We insist upon not asking these questions or attempting to give them importance. See, the Rosicrucians, if they followed their rules, would love me as an initiate; but, I am no initiate.

Tomorrow something bad will happen. Perhaps many bad things. At a minimum, we are locking all of our doors at work. It is because the leaders are afraid of the followers. What a strange situation. I am not afraid of my employees. Heck, hard to be afraid of much.

The world is getting weirder than me. That is sad.
