Curiouser and curiouser

Why do we not, like a phoenix, rise from our ashes to continue our journey? Death is not only an insult, it is a form of radical recycling. If at first you don't succeed, etc. etc. A curious aspect of temes is their viral nature. They depend on the host for sustenance and replication but are not adverse (indeed they are designed) to be parasitic to the point of self-elimination.

As far as memes go, they are precursors to temes and are the "thought-forms" that are most readily transmitted by common experience or expression. Learning as you go ends up relying on others to blaze a trail, unfortunately theirs and not yours. Every side-step is a false one.

What is observed and perceived is in direct relation to how we fit into this reality and as such, provide us with the clues and means to respond and advance. Going beyond one's limitations is the key because those limitations are the signposts and guides along the way. Whatever is proposed can be of use, to the degree that it applies to our current need. It must not be felt that left-overs are the same as do-overs. Taking what you need and leaving the rest is a must.

So, we use genetics as a means of progressing along the track that we need to explore and providing ourselves with the means to access those situations that can be of use. We do choose our parents, after all, and that is for an evolutionary reason. Restoring balance to the our-of-kilter nature of our essence is the only thing that we need pay attention to. The rest is filler or falter and serves to allow us the time to adjust to every given requirement.
