Life is experience. It may even be a meta-experience; I don't
believe consciousness or even being alive is requires for life.
Considering the unbelievable complexities of the smallest and
largest things in the Universe, everything inbetween, the
interconnectedness of all matter... of all energy.. of time
folding forwards, backwards, skipping around, twisted in
preztels and knots in literature and movies, in our memories and
in our experiences... i would find it harder to believe there
*isn't* a "something beyond* that is life.
Meta.
it's not so much "over" but beyond; movement in a dimension we
humans cannot directly perceive.. but that nearly Universal
sense of a mysterious something-else-there... doesn't matter if
it's named... even if it's felt in a deja-vu... to me means
there's a meta-thing going on here... life beyond what we call
life. I don't know what it is; i doubt there's an effective word
for it that truly conveys it properly.
