I, like many others in life, search for meaning and experience in this reality. The ability to become more than the sum of your parts is a great gift. Helping others selflessly and voyaging inward, connects you with your true self and increases your vibrant body so much, as to become radiant.
"If we do not offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes will not lift to the horizon; our ears will not hear the sounds around us. We pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We soon wake up to find we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days. Fear of the unknown and the lure of comfortable space will conspire to keep you from taking the chances you should take.
But if you take a chance, you will never regret the choice. To be sure, there will be moments of doubt when you stand alone on an empty road in the pouring rain, or when you are ill with fever in a rented bed. But as the pains of the moment will come; so will they ever fade away. In the end you will be so much richer, so much stronger, so much happier, and so much the better person for having taken the risk and hardship. There will be nothing to compare to the insight you have gained."

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I first heard about SETI@home from a poster in a computing forum. I examined the web site and instantly was struck by the awe of what could be accomplished. The symbolism is staggering. All of us working together, can accomplish anything.
At its least important, SETI@home practically demonstrates the power of harnessing millions of underutilized computers worldwide via distributed computing. At the pinnacle of its accomplishment, it could possibly be the harbinger of a great new age for the human species. Granted any 'new' lifeform brings its share of risks just like any new unknown does. Danger or not, risk unmet is opportunity lost. There may be some grave threat in the blackness of the cosmos, but we will never truly know unless we look. And if these new forms of intelligence be benevolent, benign, or Beelzebub incarnate, they will coalesce and bring together humanity in such a manner that rivals the universe itself. |
