Thanks for your response. Indeed I believe the differences between
human/transhuman should blend together. Life as continuum. And believe me,
I cherish it all.
Perhaps I'm closer than you know, I just come to it from a different
perspective than most I've met. Every so often I have felt my sense of
identity expand both temporally and spacially, encompassing at first my
family, my community, my past and future selves, my ancestors and
descendants, stretching further yet to encompass the earth, the galaxy, even
the universe. Unlike, say for example buddhists, I never lose my sense of
self, but it is grows to such a degree as to result in much the same thing.
Those are when I am feeling the connections in all things, but there are
differences as well. The whole has parts, and my consciousness is mostly
confined to a small part. One and many, I embrace both sides of the coin,
for both views have their uses. But before all else, I AM.
Glen Finney
