19. WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
　(OPENING PARAGRAPH)
Welcome to the machine… the logical lie of humankind… the truth that does not exist… the truth that cannot live or die. Perfection is a small part of the Universe… it is eternal, though it is an ingredient that cannot be separated from the food. Perfection does not exist beyond an idea… that is why it is a lie. But ideas exist within the mind… that is why it is a truth that will forever hide inside of us. You might ask yourself, how can something be both a lie and the truth? Feel free to answer yourself as well… I see God as the unending energy of creativity, the essence of the Multiverse coming to life. God spoke and the word became flesh. God watched and the flesh fell into motion. God went to sleep and the flesh began to have fun! The Multiverse strives to create impermanent beauty using elements of freedom and order in life’s design.
