- What are the ultimate questions?
- Why does anything exist at all?
- What is the source of the Universe?
- What is the nature of the Universe and man's place in it?
- What will happen to man after death, and does he have an immortal part to him - a soul?
After thinking about these questions long enough, one may begin to realize that understanding the entire universe would take, well, forever. However, beginning to understand one's self is another matter, and it is also convenient in that one's self is always available for study and experiment! Eventually, after enough study, a path may reveal itself and answer the question: why am I me? From there, this eventually evolves into, why NOT me? From there, one may want to be of service to his brothers and sisters, which begins to form questions of a more practical nature. How should humans live - by what code of morality and ethics, and how is this code derived? Is he free to live as he wishes, or should he accept moral constraints. What is the significance of art and religion to the individual? And finally, what sort of society should men set up on earth, how should he govern himself and be governed (see The Land and Labor)?
