This book is really a number of short stories compiled over a period of years. They consist of a random selection of topics that are separate and yet connected to the one theme: Whats life all about, who are we, and why are we here? Those questions bring up even more difficult questions, such as is the world I experience around me real? Are the people around me real? Am I real? Or am I and everything else in this world just part of some elaborate illusion, a dream conjured up by a supremely intelligent energy (God)? You will not find any answers to those questions in this book. Rather, you'll only find my point of view on the possibilities. Its up to you the reader to discern for yourself what the truth might be. It is best, though, not to believe what is written here, for that would only put the damper on your learning. It's better to absorb the reasoning hidden within and between the lines. Then, mix that reasoning with the ideas percolating in your own mind and come up with your own personal version of what reality may be. Thats a very important thing for you to do, for combined with the ideas that are emanating from the collective minds of the rest of us seekers of truth, humanity as a whole can evolve and advanced to where we are destined to be. So come on an entertaining and enthralling journey through the thoughts in my mind and see if I can plant a few fertile thoughts in yours.
