Comment from Sis Cat
Excellent. You are a great thinker and writer. The flea circus anecdote is the heart of your essay. I love your summation:
"This is an example of how fleas adapt to their environment. Egos create their own jars the same way by limiting their thoughts and potential because of fear of suffering or embarrassment. The only thing that causes fear is ignorance - ignorance of the truth. The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance can be removed through understanding while stupidity does not seek to understand. As long as an ego feels fine in its comfort zone, it will remain stupid. Until there is some major disaster or earth-shaking event, most egos will be content to exist, rather than develop their potential."
This paragraph best describes the growth process I took after my parents both died eleven weeks apart. I resumed writing after a twenty year hiatus. Now I am publishing and performing whereas I did not when I was in my glass jar. Thank you for the insight.

You have to know you create your feelings. Create good ones about you. Thanks...John
Comment from Eigle Rull
Wow! This was a long read, but it was extremely interesting. It held my attention like quicksand. It reminds me a lot of the Indian cultures that see all life as part of the family. I've always admired those thoughts. I am in agreement with what you have written. I expect you to be a professor of phycology or something like that. This is extremely well written, my friend.
Always with respect,

Comment from Pyrrho
I decided to read this too-long-post but ran out of patience. Metaphysics is the mental masturbation of those who have trouble with physics, just as numerology is an excellent substitute for mathematics for those who have difficulty with long division.
Your entire meta-babble reminds me of the last line in a poem I wrote to describe precisely the thinking that goes into the creation of the subject essay type.
Duality is Singular
Through violent brainstorms
we ascend in thermals of thought,
soar under squall fronts of inspiration,
circle in cumulonimbus synapse clouds,
connect galactic ideas through logic worm holes
in Non-Euclidian brain-space and sink
in black holes of depression.
Universes in Craniums ... Tempests in Teapots.
I admire your ability to put this together but the result is less than excellent.

Comment from thomdble
WOW. That is a lot of information to digest. A very well written, well thought out and articulate. As the article proceeded I would have a question that was later answered. A solid piece of reporting and one that cannot be consumed entirely in one reading. You certainly have a smart thesis on life. Thank you and now I must read it for the third time.

Comment from lcmadsen
This was sensory overload. It was a bit like reading an encyclopedia or evolutionary dictionary of terms. It is well written with no obvious grammatical errors. It does give the reader fodder for thought, but it needs serious debate and counter debate. I don't care to be one of those debaters, but I certainly wouldn't mind being in the audience,

Comment from cbat
I made myself read all of this.
My mind is on overload.
I admire the whole essay you have a butt-load of information.
The place I get caught on is heaven. I fully agree we make our environment.
As you have done if you believe this is in anyway heaven.
Imagination is not enough.
Good luck!

Comment from Kingsland
This is quite a diatribe on evolution and the things that are related to it. I found that this article was well written and has some excellent points in its thoughts. I have no suggestion for changes, as I found this piece just fine as written. I enjoyed reading this excellent Ly written article... John
