   When I look a back on the god of my childhood conservative family and community, I am reminded of the absolutely awful things that come from a power--human or otherwise--which attempts to exert control over everything and everyone.

   It is moments like this, in which I am thankful for living in a universe where things just happen as they may.

   I'll take the unintended harm of chaos over the conscious harm (and evil) wrought by an authoritarian will to control... human or divine.

     Btw, I'm not pulling this out of my bottom. I have "touched" the thing of what I speak in meditation and my time in nature.

     It feels like madness but only because of my humanness. If you step outside of humanness... Things crystalize and become more clear.

     I can sustain that for fleeting moments but always snap back to this limited form of consciousness.

     But that madness is not so mad when scaled upward to the scope of near-infinity.

     But the forces I find myself in alignment with see with a sight that looks past the granular moments of individual lives and stares into the distance of eons, across a void of countless stars and galaxies, and embodies a form of being that humans would likely see as unfathomable madness.

     Bill repeated this.
