Man will not understand the two most elusive phenomena in the universe: life and death. They are inseparably linked and, yet, diametrically opposed to one another. One might say that they are a contradiction in terms of logic -- the supreme contradiction. What are they and toward purpose to they intend? Indeed, mankind will never penetrate the secret of death until he has understood the mechanism that is termed life and the origin of man's consciousness, itself. How is it created and then developed to the level that it attains? Where is it actually located? on the floor? on the rooftop? or within the human body? What becomes of it after death? Oblivion? But, if matter never dies, then what form does consciousnes take on? Perhpas, it becomes as the fabled God...immortal. Or does it reach back into the physical realm to claim its mortality once more as a god within a man's soul...as an Atlas of the gods...as a being who has dared to touch the celestial orb and claim the right to be his own judge and thereby annihilate said Judgment Day. Or perhaps it has journeyed to the edge of infinity in but a moment of time and found that it desired the frailty and beauty of human life upon this planet...and thus render truth to reincarnation and the heroism or folly of such an act.
