We would all agree that there is a vast accumulation of human knowledge. It would take numerous lifetimes to search and understand everthing that's been written.

Our purpose is to draw your attention to an explanation of reality and life that we've found to fit and be useful. We explore a number of people's experience of life and diety. We hope that you'll find new thoughts that are both challenging and helpful.

Our choice of contributors are interesting people, often noted for their achievements, as well as their beliefs. Their writings, recordings and thoughts have been passed on as a resource to leave a discernable trail for others to follow. Their hope (and mine ) is that we all find some assistance, as fellow travellers on this journey, developing further the work of those who have gone ahead of us.

Why am I alive?

Perhaps the greatest painting, certainly the most renown, is the Mona Lisa. It is thought that Leonardo DaVinci worked at painting it for more than 20 years and upon closest examination - no brush strokes can be individually discerned. Some experts think his paintbrush was a single bristle and the whole painting was laid down, line by line, layer by layer, from day to week to year after year. We now appreciate the whole and and miss the indiscernable details. So it is with our lives and thinking. What others see is an articulate whole, but our thinking is a collation from many sources.

It is a brave person, or perhaps a fool, that would defend and say ' All my accumulated thoughts and understanding of experience are accurate and true.' The subtle errors which have crept into each of our lives and thoughts due to convenience, economy or for advantage must be the foundation of much of the discord we see in the world.
