A very close friend of mine, (who has taught me more that he knows...[wink])uses the analogy of "mecha"and "orga" from the movie A.I. often to illustrate the relationship between the human race (spiritual) and the universe (material). I was thinking this morning about the fear that greeted the dawning of the information age, robotics and technology in the 50's and 60's. history is a pair of rose colored glasses. Human life, throughout all of human history has be a very low value commodity. Labor is cheap, people are expendable. In the future as mecha grows and develops I think that we will find that people will, for the first time in history, become valuable. Orga will only know its own value when confronted with something else. Only in darkness is a candle seen, only in the brightness of the day are shadows visable.
