    C.S. Lewis possessed one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.

    Truer words were never spoken concerning our current times. (When you hear ATOMIC replace it with COVID-19 in your mind)

      Bullshit..... covid 19 is the ultimate exercise in mass hysteria created by our leaders, media and big business. A disease that only kills people with previous ailments is hardly deadly. We are a people of fools!

    The relevance of this talk to our current 2020 life in the United States cannot be overstated. People have gone mad with safety. As if, just to stay alive is the whole point of life. I don't agree with this way of thinking and I hope most Americans wake up to the fact that life is to be lived despite all those possibilities of Destruction coming into your life whatever they be. We should not be forced away from each other by government decree. We should not be forced to wear masks inside stores that we contribute to. Big business should not be in business with government this way, which is a way of complete destruction in my view, not safety. Our small businesses in the United States have been hit by our own government like a bomb. Those orders coming from on high are really and truly destroying lives right now. Do you know the suicide rates? I just read a story of a young boy and his father. The boy was so isolated because of the orders to socially distance from his friends from the government, that he was in Despair and his father couldn't do anything about it. We all need to do something about it. Where is the compassion from these people in government. Covid-19 is the excuse? We have to honor life. They are not doing this. Love to everybody....💚

    This was wonderful to listen to. And if people took his advice about living in the atomic age, then they should be able to calm down fairly quickly and stop worrying.
    Thank you kindly for sharing this.

    Why do we know we are not from here? Why do we feel like strangers? Because we are not like this place. We are energy, on a higher dimension than the visible dimensions our 5 senses can detect. Einstein gave us the clue: E=mc^2. Matter is energy. Energy is matter. We have a consciousness that even we cannot understand. Consciousness is the energy of existence. Through evolution, we have become slightly aware of our abilities, although we haven’t pulled the thread far enough. There’s so much more to learn. There are other beings out in the universe. Some more primitive, some more advanced, nonetheless they are out there. Watch the movie ‘Contact’. “If it’s just us ... seems like an awful waste of space.” Our journey has just begun ...

    These musings by the esteemed author can be seen as faulty.
    These ideas,while inscrutable by scientific standards, lacks the wisdom of understanding. that each of of us with fully operating minds can conceive the entirety of existence.
    A thing we can barely understand or fully describe. In essence we, as a people, can grasp a concept as large as a universe that does not care for us. So much so that the delicate balance will continue with or without our species continuing.
    If we accept this, then we must also accept that the consciousness proliferated by such a system, also allowed for our species to comprehend such an ending.
    That being said, we are inherently formed by a system that complacently allowed us to become aware of its own demise.
    Being that not one individual would live to see the end of everything then where is the value of existence at all?
    It is in the understanding that, perhaps the universe wishes to have a view of itself from the perspective of those living in itself to better understand why being is better than not being.
    This view insinuates that while there is no ascertainable “intelligent design,” that we must also accept that nature, having birthed us in our present state, serves no purpose. But that would be a lie.
    We are here and aware. If only to have that information reincorporated into the fabric of some greater being or construct; that, in fact, is worth our having had existed.
    You matter. If only to me you matter. What we glean from this brief life matters more than you know.
    Science is cold. But we are people.

    It continues to baffle me that Lewis is held in such regard by some. Here, as elsewhere, he fails to understand the atheist argument about meaning and purpose in a natural universe - at least, he fails to address it CS Lewis seems to me evidence that for many apologists, a happy way with storytelling will stand in for philosophical rigour.
