ILLUSIONS AND PERCEPTIONS...
Whether life is predetermined, or not, has long been the subject of debate, speculation, and inquiry. Whatever may be one's answer to this question, one thing is certain. Our planet, Earth, rotates on its axis, while it revolves around the Sun, which revolves around the center of the Milky Way, which also rotates and revolves in its own right. These revolutions and rotations are astronomically predictable and mathematically verifiable. Comets come and go at regular intervals, as do day and night, and the tides and seasons. If then these greater things are ordered, would not lesser things, like us, also be ordered? We do not perceive the motions of revolution or rotation either. Yet, we do rotate at a 1000 miles per hour on the Earth, even as it revolves at 66,000 miles per hour around the sun. Yet, for all of that order, both phi and pi--mathematical concepts--are both "irrational" in that their decimal value is infinite and indeterminate, not "rational" or finite. Yet, their intrinsic relational values are everywhere displayed in us and in nature. So, then where are we; what are we?
