Yesterday’s writing reached the eleven am clock mark, marking its end. This on account of my habits to have lunch at eleven, while I listen to the radio news, which in turn is followed by a snooze.

By exception yesterday, I went for an afternoon walk and a tea at Savour compete with paper to read, after all I told myself, it is summer and I should enjoy its short season here in Calgary. And I did! On the way home I visited the office of the child psychology group that has been in this neighbourhood for years and obtained their brochure.

After supper last night I packed up the bottles and papers to drop them off at the recycling bins, combining that with a much needed self-serve carwash. This took about an hour and a half all together, but made me feel good for having done this. I also made a list of things to do for my trip. It’s time to focus on this now. P.S: I forgot to mention the purchase of “The Egyptian Myths” by Garry J. Shaw.

Later this morning I will meet up with Elisabeth at the Stampede for a seniors day visit. I plan to visit the Agricultural exhibit and also look for one or two appropriate presents – textile possibly – to take along. I don’t know what Elisabeth’s interests are, but they will be different.

I want to add self-consciousness to yesterday’s remarks on conscious expression. For humans we must keep in mind that we are self-conscious in addition to being conscious of our sense experience. I hold that all living organism have sense awareness of some sort and may have consciousness, but self-consciousness if present at all, is rudimentary compared to humans, for whom this varies as well. It is through our acquired ability of self-conscious awareness, that we can form intent and act on it. This notion is important in relation to the combined concept of ‘conscious expression’, which brings me to the concept of ‘expression’ in my belief statement.

In other words, all human behaviour is expression, with only some of it consciously.

Expression implies creativity in many ways, but can also be instinctually motivated, such as in the case of self-preservation. Tool making however could be seen as an expression of creativity, but so is the action of battle, harvesting, food production and technology. Also the long human record of creating laws to regulate society and the many aspects of religious traditions are part and parcel of this expression. In other words, all human behaviour is expression, with only some of it consciously.

This brings me to the idea of ‘Existence Divine’, the fulcrum of this belief statement. That will take a considerable amount of time and effort to be conveyed properly and therefore I’ll leave that to my next writings entry and close for now at 8:32am~
