We live infinitely; our bodies do not
The complex interactions between biology, environment, culture and ideas that lead to these revelations and the underlying understanding about experiential reality are crucial to fulfilling the grand bargain of all pain and suffering: that though we endure hell, we also reap heaven.
But there is no way to discern the ratio. How much hell do we endure for how much heaven? How many times do we awake to bad and how many to good?
How long are the stretches we are subject to the whims of a cruel and indifferent nature? How many times do we almost build heaven only to fail? How many times are these ideas realized but not voiced; voiced but not heeded; heeded but not enough?
That is why this project may at present feel incomplete: though I will live on infinitely, this body will not. I am working to get these ideas out and conveyed to the best of my ability knowing at any moment the path could be cut short and another heaven may be lost and echo across the Infinite Journey as a worse ratio between heaven and hell.
