what happens if you don't participate? will the total be less? is

i see... god/dess must be the one keeping score. you want to have
a higher total at the end of your life, is that it?

so if we are fully god and already one with it, what's this need
for a total to be higher... we know the distinction is artificial
so why pay attention to it...

what is this, like separating for the joy of uniting once again?
without sorrow, there can be no joy, i suppose... without

`We come now to the idea of the Gaeia Universe, where the whole of the Universe would be a single living entity of which all mankind is barely an organelle. But unlike the organisms of Earth, the elements of the Universe, energy and matter, are not connected by the bloody and battering interaction of consumption that we experience on Earth, but by the same forces of physics and mechanics which govern the aforementioned astronomical principles. The concept of pantheism proposes an additional connection, one of an overarching divine presence. In this divinity, mind and matter are one, and all things in the Universe are evenly connected'' --B.D. Abramson
