I believe in the Mystery
I believe in awe and wonder
the Mystery made self-evident in our souls
I believe in Trust
that a trusted man will act nobly
Faith made self-evident
I believe in Love
even when all evidence argues against it
the Mystery made self-evident among us
I believe in Magic
the Love that binds us all
and all things together
I believe in Faith
even when I have none
I believe our song is the song of the stars
our music is born of the winds of the universe
I believe in the Mystery.

Which is more powerful belief or knowledge? Is there truth in either? Can one exist without confirmation from the other? Plus ultra, B

Wonderful Age Old questions, posed by the Greeks as they defined Epistemology and Ontology as lines of inquiry. Questions without answers, yet they are the means to unravelling what Mysteries we humans can, leading us closer to the Ultimate Mystery of Universal Truth.

The Photo! The Similarities are stunning: Joining Renaissance art images with today’s science images, as One. And then, the Words: the enjoining of the fundaments of Science with the fundaments of BeingHuman. Your ideas are indeed Hubble-like, with their engaging microscopy as a path to macroscopic Truths. . ( geez, I must’ve had too much coffee this AM, or, too much Booker’s last night).

Maybe what you need is Booker’s in your coffee. 🙂

Ok. You got me. I had to look this up.
But aren’t we all the authors of our own beliefs? What is the alternative?

“Aren’t we all the authors of our own beliefs?”
This sounds obvious, but I’d have to respond with a resounding “No.” The alternative would be the hate inducing dogmatism fed from the pulpit and internalized verbatim… just for one example.
