Thank you, Maya – you will be missed!
It’s not really an either/or…
Survival plus our personal beliefs continue to present to us the universe as a dualistic choice when it reaches our conscious awareness.

“What is most amazing is not how our senses span distance or cultures, but how they span time. Our senses connect us to the past, connect us intimately in ways that most of our cherished ideas never could.” - D. Ackerman
