Moment and the Present
If anyone could ever know the mystery of life, they would be those who are dead and never the living. We live in a world that even on our death bed and last dying breath, we will never know what is, what was, and what will be.
"Death is the Source of Life" - Alan Watts
For Hundreds of years, we, as human, have continue to developed our lives, create things that can make our lives easier, technologies that make advancement in our live, but we still could know what our ancestors knew, how they manage to create or build such structures in the old world, things that even science today or technology today couldn't explain. We often looked and searched the space even so we at least haven't discovered 90% of the whole earth. So we question life as it is. We ask questions that seems unanswerable, and will always leave us wondering. So what should our question be? What's the purpose of life? Why are we here? Are we alone? Is there a god? Are we really bound to be born, study, get a job, marry, have a kid, and die and repeat the whole process again?
So many questions but few answers to have..
Near Miss Objects

You can just imagine how much asteroids or meteors can possibly hit earth at any given time, but here we are living in a world, were its nurture with hatred, confusion, war, conflicts, division, discrimination and so on. We probably hate our own kind more than our pets, and with the diagram above we can tell how much we look at lives in a shallow manner and doesn't seem to see what's important.
A single individual human probably lives at average of 80 years, it is such a short time that we can only remember such part of our history, adding up all the conflicts that have happened that probably would be the main reason why we do not remember or we don't have much record of our past. Think of it as an Hour Glass and we are the grains of sand.
As above, so as below. As within, so as without
What if?..
Since we do not have records and knowledge of our past, with the difference of languages and translation and including the manipulation of high people in our society. Maybe the diagram above is what is.
Knowledge and Wisdom
the starting point of everything, we started out as knowledgeable, capable more than what we are right now. and as humanity grows our knowledge and wisdom degrades, forget and have a great restart and have new greater knowledge, become a new generation, acquire new knowledge and back to the greater knowledge, and the cycle repeats, but again, this is just another speculation and nobody really knows.
Below is a message from Alan Watts about Life and Death.
Life & Death
by Alan Watts
When one gets to the extreme that is to say that to the point where you realize that there is nothing you can do about life, nothing you could not do about life, then you're the mosquito abiding beyond boom. Well so in the same way he said look, you heard a bomb coming at you, you could hear it whistle, you knew it was right above you and headed straight at you and that you were finished and you accepted it. And suddenly, there is a strange feeling that everything is absolutely clear, You suddenly see that there isn't a grain of dust in the whole universe thats in the wrong place and you understand completely, absolutely, totally what it's all about as you can't say what it is so you see this is always the opportunity presented by death. That if one can go into death with eyes open and have some body help you with necessary to give up before you die. This extraordinary thing can happen too, so that from your stand point in that position, at that time, you would say, I wouldn't have missed that opportunity for the world, now I understand why we die.
Quantitive continuity is of no value. Who said you're supposed to survive? Who gave you the idea that it's a gasp to go on and on and on? and we can't say that its a good thing for everything to go on living. The very demonstration that if we enable everybody to go on living we overcrowd ourselves. That we're like an unproved tree. We can also look further into it and see that if our death could be indefinitely postponed, we would not actually go on postponing it indefinitely. Because after a certain point we would realize that, that isn't the way in which we wanted to survive why else would we have children?
Because children arrange for us to survive in another way. By as it were passing on a torch so you don't have to carry it all the time. There comes a point where you can give it up and say 'now you work'. It's a farm more amusing arrangement for nature to continue the process of life through different individuals than it is always with the same individuals because as each new individual approaches life, Life is renewed and one remembers how fascinating the most ordinary every things are to a child. Because they see them all as marvelous, because they see them all in a way that is not related to survival and profit.
When we get ti thinking of everything in terms of survival and profit value, as we do, then the shapes of scratches on the floor cease to have magic and most things in fact cease to have magic. So therefore, in the course of nature once we have cease to see magic in the world anymore we are no longer fulfilling nature's game of being aware of itself. There's no point in it anymore, and so we die and so something else comes to birth which gets an entirely new view and so nature's self-awareness is a game worth to count.
