Of course I believe in aliens. I think it's very egocentric to think that there's nothing else with intelligence in the whole universe.
Without consciousness and intelligence the universe would lack meaning.
The universe is an intelligence test.
I'm in awe of the universe but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals though even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative whether Buddhist or Catholic.
Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
I'll confess right here that I secretly wish I'd have drawn a strip about a little boy with a fake tiger going for adventures throughout the universe in spaceships of his imagination.
Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe wings to the mind flight to the imagination and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
