BBella\'s Universe (Introduction)

I wrote that maybe the God of religious people was just another name for BBella’s “will of the all”. BBella reckons Christianity’s God and her “will of the all” are “as far apart as the east is from the west.”

There was a slight misunderstanding here, which was my fault. I should have started my next sentence with a “BUT” – “no attributes needed, no stories, but just a universal energy to which we can relate.” Problems arise out of religion the moment believers start investing their particular god with special attributes, principles, deeds, dogmas...A universal energy would be the common link, and that’s all I was trying to say.

I’m not surprised to hear that you write poetry and stories and also paint and create three-dimensional artworks (I can’t think how else to describe them). What is interesting is that you only began to do this after your illness, i.e. after you had “found” yourself. I’ve been writing ever since I was a small child – I have stories written when I was just five or six. (I was very precocious then, but have made up for it by never growing up!) I have absolutely no doubt that throughout my life this has helped me to maintain my balance – though I suspect that if I had to go through an ordeal like yours, I would lose that balance, and would collapse in on myself. We’re all different!

BBELLA: Then my second intention was to express how I view the ATI as a creative force that we humans are just beginning to, not only get a glimpse of, but on the brink of understanding our own abilities as creators. Not for personal gain or benefits (that revelation has been known by many for a long time), but for the evolution of our species. We are, from my view, hurtling that way and nothing can stop us. We, as the ATI, consciously or subconsciously, desire it to be so, altho we have no idea how to get there. And just as with my illness, the price we have to pay may not seem worth it as society lives the pain of what it will take. But in the end (not an actual end since there is no end), it will be worth it all. For many, we can already choose to relish in this truth already, that life and pain is worth it. Just looking into the eyes of our loved ones always makes it worth being here.

As one of the lucky ones, whose life has been filled with love and enjoyment, and who has been spared all but the inevitable pains of loss and occasional disappointments, I endorse this with all my strength. Life is wonderful. But whether humans are hurtling towards a creative, altruistic neo-Eden I don’t know. We could just as easily be hurtling towards a figurative black hole. Either way, I shall be long gone. Or maybe I’ll be sitting on a butterfly wing...
