On the Nature of Man

Man, that individuated universe of Self, is note wholly self-contained. As with its galactic counterpart, the Cosmos, Man must rely upon the subtle and overt machinations of surrounding bodies for balance. Such external forces exist to guide Man's evolution and direct in continued expansion. We grow from the outside inward, gaining depth from our immeasurable boundaries and strength in our composition.
As with the solar system revolving around a center of high gravity, so does Man have a pull to a force more powerful. For this Mankind cannot rely solely upon individual attributes. Nor can we claim universality as an exclusive domain. For the essence of all that is Life, we are merely aspects of the whole and its completion. Else, we would not be created beings, but something else entirely.
