>Just because I am made from the particles of dust from a millenia ago does not attribute my life to something supernatural or greater than myself.
Not the dust, not the dust, dont think about the dust, oh those bloody particles! God damn that little hinge that connects the Self to the body, that squeaky impertinent thing! --- What am I, pray tell? Some brain-generated voice pointing to itself with its crooked finger? That bugger! Was there ever a truth so full of lies?! Your body is your body and not your body, dont you see? Its as clear as day! There is no divider between you and the empty space in your room and those dusty shelves and the window and the starless, yellow tinted sky with a little red dotted airplane in it! no divider at all. The Self is like a three lettered word jumping out of the dictionary and calling itself language. Just because that which controls your body does not control the stars, does not mean that you and the stars are not the same thing! So we are particles after all! you yell. No, you bloody boob! Forget about the particles! This whole mess of particles is swirling round and round in a bottle; and if anything you are both the particles and the bottle and the swirling. And now imagine that bottle standing on a shelf: the particles are moving, but the bottle is just standing there, waiting for nothing to happen forever. Bottle knows no time. Time makes no sense when all you do is waiting. There is no movement. Only a storm in the bottle. You say you are just particles million years old. True, true. But you are also the bottle infinite.
