power over time:
and in the beginning there was that that was original, and really, these are probably the most common things in the world that we take for granted, the trees, the sky, and the human, etc.
and soon enough for all the original people who existed from time zero, once it had been noticed that time passed, there came the question of immortality, whether anything would perish in the future. now there is the argument that anything that truly exists in real space cannot cease to exist, that something will always fill its space, but the question is whether through time, something will change so much never to return to its original state that it could be considered as having "died". thus the question, "Am I original?"
the point about things being "original" is that these things were not "created", they always were, always existed. but creation soon followed, and some things began on day one. on day one, people did things, people discovered things, and what that means is that people therefore "created" things. now it's obvious to us in the present day that people can share things, that reality is interconnected in real space, signals are passed through real space all the time. data flows back and forth. we have scientific models of electromagnetic radiation and electric current, whatever the explanation, that communication is possible is generally accepted.
what that meant in the early days of time is that if someone did something or saw something, that meant that someone else somewhere else in real space might be able to do or see the same thing. this is what real "creation" boils down to. if one person was originally human, someone else might be able to be human too.
there is the present science/religion dichotomy but i would suggest that both represent extreme opinions about reality such that they can only contradict each other. science does not contain much room for god and much religion perhaps rather exaggerates the power of god or gods.
a part of the problem with the word "god" is that it has always been an emotional word. it naturally implies great power. it is innate in the impact of the word itself. when people first heard and thought about the word "god", it implied things like omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence, to borrow from religion.
whether we would consider people as gods or not, given the natural implications of this word, nevertheless, everyone has "created" something since time zero or indeed been the original source of something. the first human is the "god" of human, the first person to see a house is the "god" of houses, the first person to see and eat an apple is the "god" of apples, and so on. even if we do not accept the existence of gods, nevertheless there is always someone who is the original person who did something or saw something or is something.
my concept is that everyone has some degree of power and everyone was a first about something. does this mean that some people have huge powers compared to others that would qualify them as "gods" in the traditional sense? and power over what? it needs to be realized a person in real space is a large concern. how much power can anyone have over other people elsewhere in real space?
and what of modern science and technology? a lot of science seems to assume that somehow science and its laws always rather existed and that people only discovered or accepted them. posit that great scientists were actually gods that created science! great inventors were gods of technology!
let us now examine how god or gods are represented in religion. clearly there are two camps, monotheism and polytheism, either one god only or many gods. the bias in my argument thus far is obviously towards polytheism, the idea of many gods, in fact, that everyone is a god of something, perhaps even. everyone has been the first to do something, see something or be something even. i would not reject all religious stories as false, some must contain an element of truth, but that they are often distorted, embellished and partly made up. what i am saying is that some of the gods in religion, be it Greek or Indian or Norse or whatever are based on real people, but they are certainly not the same as that depicted in the myths and legends.

A Hint of Power
a hint of power:
it is questioned, is fate real? the deciding factor is power, of course. without any power over our lives, a mindless fate must seem real. this is a frightening concept, like a person thrashing wildly, spun and carried by the waves of fate to a destination unknown. few of us have the powers of a god, but some power, even a hint, is most useful!
with power, is there the wisdom and intelligence to exercise it properly? you could argue, yes, fate was not real in his or her case, because he or she clearly made the right decisions in life and it all turned out pretty well! what is most feared is ignorance.
now there may be an assumption that the world is more stable than perhaps it really is. things can change in an instant or more slowly, but change is inevitable. what is the case today may not even exist in two years time.
observing how things develop and change is both fascinating and essential in life.

Power and Person
power and person:
this power, concentrated in a person or a place or something that happened?
events and incidents....
some things that happen impact on the world to change things forever, for example, the world wide web, which ignited a whole chain of events, the way business is done, communication and a revision in the whole of the media.
of a strong leader....
his or her rise to power was rapid and strength of personality ensured all rivals were subdued, instituting change and progress. history and religion are obsessed with the study of the large and powerful and indeed their legacy to us all.
the place....
a grand arena for people to come together and join, subject to the mood and the inspiration that place holds.
