Blockchain is a new digital infrastructure. What the internet did for information, blockchain is doing for property and value. Think back to the time when cars and roads are disrupting horses and dirt roads.
Initially,cars were not superior because they had to drive on an infrastructure that was designed for horses.
The cars got stuck and horsemen were laughing at the 'idiots' in their motorized vehicles. However over time, a new infrastructure was developed and the superiority of cars became evident,and importantly, the horses still function on the new infrastructure as well.
We are at that moment,where we are transitioning infrastructure for many financial services or other services which requires the transfer of asset ownership.
"Blockchain is the road,coins or applications are the cars, and ethereum is an infrastructure company".
Very few people deny that the blockchain technology has the potential to completely rewrite the way we transact value. Blockchain can be an enabler for identification,collaboration and asset ownership. It can create decentralized social networks, an unowned version or Uber and a decentralized competitor to Airbnb.
This is the vision of blockchain, and while every disruption creates winners and losers,we cannot stop it,and should not fear it.

Thinking - a spiritual process
The only way in which spiritual force can manifest itself is through the process of thinking. Thinking is the only activity the spirit possess, and thought is the product of thinking.
Reasoning is a spiritual process; ideas are spiritual conceptions; questions are spiritual searchlights and logic,argument and philosophy is spiritual machinery.

The Ultimate Reality
Let us start with a simple,undeniable fact: some 4 billion years ago,life began on this planet in the shape of simple cells. These cells,perhaps one cell in particular, were the common ancestors to all life forms that followed. From that single source,various branches of life emerged. Some 1.2 billion years ago,there appeared the first multicellular creatures; 600 million years ago there emerged perhaps the greatest development of all- organisms with a central nervous system,the starting point that eventually led to the brains we now possess. From the Cambrian explosion of life some 500 million years ago came the first simple animals,followed by the first vertebrates. Some 360 million years ago we see the first traces on land of amphibious creatures, and 120 years ago we see the first mammals. Branching off in a new mammalian direction about 60 million years ago,and 4 million years later our most recent ancestor, Homo erectus. And just 200,000 years ago the anatomically modern human emerged,with more or less the same brain size that we now possess.
Since all life forms are descended from this common beginning, they are all interconnected in some way, and we humans are implicated in this network. This is undeniable.
Let us call this interrelatedness of life the 'ultimate reality'
