From: BEYOND: THE PARADIGM
‘What do we know’, he had said, ‘of the world and the universe about us? Our means of receiving impressions are absurdly few, and our notions of surrounding objects infinitely narrow. We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and we gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with a wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see very differently the things we see, but might see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand, yet can never be detected with the senses we have…
H.P. Lovecraft, From Beyond
So, we ask ourselves time and time again where it all ends for us, and the answer is always the same – nothing; then we try to see Beyond with little or no success. Some think they know the answers, but in reality, like me, they know virtually nothing as we grope around in the dark while squatting here on our lonely planet. Anyway, I have a slight bent on some of it here, so take it or leave it, I’m having my say.
