First of all, hey there!

Second, I likely feel the opposite. I have around the world and the main thing I got and continue to get is mankind, for whatever reason, flocks, perhaps, needs, the notion that some higher level exists. I am not in any way talking about organized religion here, other than that is the most historically effective way of expressing this need since the record started being written, which also is when the abuse of that power began I am talking more about God, or whatever you call it, being in everything and everyone at the same time - sort of like in Whitman's Song of Myself, posted here http://www.daypoems.net/poems/1900.html

Scientifically, for this to occur, it must have some provable basis. I suggest that basis can be found when one is in love. Is that euphoric sense merely an hormonal thing? Or, is that obvious orbital penumbra a hint at something else on another plane. I choose the latter.
