  • Who can answer the great questions of life?

  • WHO CAN ANSWER THE GREAT QUESTIONS OF LIFE?  Is it Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, is it Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, my shrink, the oldest human being on Earth? Who can answer the great questions of life when I’m in need? Who invented life anyway? That we must eat each other in order to live and thrive. I was born, created, as a result of my parent’s drives. It initially wasn’t their idea to procreate through sex. I hope they liked each other’s warmth that cold night of the 27th of December 1962. But this procreating mechanism existed long before they were born, it is ancient. So is it who or what? Is this mechanism together with all other mechanisms as nature’s laws: a being, or is it the work of a being or a being itself that just is. >

  • > WHY GOD  In this way of thinking I can’t escape from coming up with God or nature. God comes up first, cause I had a question I hoped someone could answer. Nature doesn't appear to me as a man or a woman that speaks. And science is only that what we know. And we only seem to know that what is proven. But then, when I have this question, I don’t need to know. I simply need reassurance, warmth, approval to go further. That I am on the right track. I like science though. It is amazing to see how it all interconnects and works. The works of that being, is that its preview? >>

  • >> WHAT IS GOD  So the Mechanism, the Works, the Image of that. All Matter and all that matters and all that is not included: I call that God. When I was younger I wanted to find my own name for this phenomenon. Otherwise I would seem to be religious and so follow the way of thinking and living of people that abide by the rules of the Bible. But then I thought: Hey, I’m free to choose whatever feels right to me. I am raised in the western world, so why should I call it Buddha, or any other exotic name. Nobody can claim the name God. And my choice is no coincidence.

  • IS GOD A WHAT OR A WHO  So, is he a what or a who? Lately it appeared to me that God can be a who after all, even scientifically! Although I don’t need the proof. I don’t need to know, but to feel, remember. Okay, then it is not scientifically, but logically. I see myself as a part of a whole. I’m a member of humanity, that is a member of life, that is a member of matter or/and energy, that is a member of anything as opposed to ‘nothing’. In short: I am a member and am therefore a part. A part that lives. A living part as opposed to a stone.

  • So, as even a part can be a living being, why can’t the sum of a number of these parts, or even the total sum of these parts be a living being? It may be that life is standard and that ‘stones’ just belong to the building blocks, lower in hierarchy as you wish. Seeing it from this angle, I can call God a being. That sounds a bit silly, as if a single cell of a man figures out that a human is a living being as well. Okay, so I can speak to the man or woman. I can address myself to HIM!
