Being emerges from Being.  It emerges out of nowhere.
We bear the Universe in our Being just as the Universe
bears us in its Being.
-Teilhard de Chardin-

What shall We do to be invoked, to be remembered on
Earth?  Let Us try to make from the fabric of the
Earth obedient, respectful Beings, who will nourish
and sustain the Earth.
-Popol Vuh-

… that humans are rational, intellectual, spiritual,
self aware, creative, conscientious, moral and godlike
seems to be a myth we have created to which we cling
in defiance of the evidence.  However, if we want to
be human beings through the changes we face; the thing
to do is not discard the myth, but live up to it.
