What does Homo- have to offer us as individuals?
Part II of II
...This is ‘thinking out of the box.’ We appear to be the only life form on earth capable of performing such a task.
Leaving our abstractness floating still further away from the circle filled with dots, we see something surrounding the circle, surrounding the universe.
We see abstraction bathing the sphere of the universe.
Total awareness, omniscience, seems to be the substance within which the universe is floating.
Upon closer examination, it appears that bits and pieces of abstraction are confined within the container, the universe.
The ability of man, the genus Homo, provides us with the potential to literally ‘think out of the box’ and see the significance of the individual lying outside the universe and in eternity.

This opens up the concept of the first of three forms of existence.
This opens up the concept of the individual.
We, the genus Homo, can see the individual as a separate entity, separate even from the Causative Force.
Separate not only because it is within the universe while the Causative Force is outside the universe, but separate also because it has its own identity, awareness, uniqueness, and individuality.
You exist.
You exist as an individual while at the same time being a part of something greater than yourself.
The whole is equal to the sum of its parts and you are a part of the whole.
While in the universe, you may be temporarily separated from what it is you are a part of, you are a part of it nonetheless and nobody has the power to take that away from you.
