THE PATH OF WISDOM - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Book) - 6/6/2024 11:00:33 AM
Congratulations on your book, Alexis. It sounds like a read to inspire and enlighten.
UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS (Book) - 1/31/2022 7:19:59 AM
A most interesting presentation, quite enlightening and well worth thinking about and considering its ramifications. Thank you for this rich posting.
INFINITY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Short Story) - 11/25/2022 2:39:48 PM
Some of the highest aspirations I've ever read leading to nothing. They certainly are infinity exposing itself. Something we really can't grasp without dumbing it down into simple phrases and beliefs. Thanks for enlightening us to nothing. For nothing is the reality of so many.
Ron
THE MESSAGE — ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Article) - 9/6/2023 10:25:04 AM
The 4th dimension aside, your repetitive discourse is both a warning and a promise that humanity can survive ourselves if we only work together to solve the problems we are facing.
In the 21st century knowledge is growing exponentially to the point where it is beyond human grasping. But in this knowledge is the answer to solving our problems. We have to use it and not backward toward primitive times and behaviors like war and plundering the earth for individual riches.

COSMIC MIND AND CREATIVITY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Article) - 2/13/2022 12:06:22 PM
While your physical analysis of how the universe has come so far is mind-boggling to a meager brain like mine, we are coming to the same conclusion in the end of your article. That we all have to be more compassionate towards all things the universe has created for us. From my viewpoint, much of what we consider as essential technology is doing great harm to our future as a species.
I like to use a phrase from an Arthur Clarke story, "Childhood's End." I have contended that our intelligence as human beings reached its peak when we were hunters and gatherers through natural selection. And that it was our use of technologies to improve our survival chances with simple things like eyeglasses that have reduced our collective intelligence for the past 10,000 years or so. We now are simply not smart enough to solve the problems we have created.
We have to end our childish thinking and become more compassionate as you have alluded to, in order to survive in the future as part of our universe's network of creation.

WORDS ARE POWER - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Article) - 7/9/2021 1:06:28 PM
A powerful and wise article. Everyone should read it. Thank you for sharing it with us, Alexis.
WORDS ARE POWER - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Article) - 4/4/2021 12:15:47 PM
What a powerful way that we can use our intelligence to solve our greatest problems. We all should be as wise as you are. Let us hope that we will be.
Ron
DISSOLUTION OR UNITY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Article) - 2/27/2021 9:28:35 AM
There is no evidence that there is, "more and more violence." A fair comparison of 1900 to 1921 with 2000 to 2021, will easily show a reduction in violence, as well as each decade, with few exceptions becoming less violent.
Otherwise, I agree with your assumptions. We have our work cut out for us, but like the United States did when faced with threats both from Europe, the Nazis, and Asia, the Japanese, pulled together like never before to help the allies win a war for democracy, that can and will be repeated again when push comes to shove.
Ron
THE END OF CERTAINTY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 8/18/2025 2:20:28 PM
So I'm very profound observations in this poem. Who knows where curiosity will lead us as we explore this brave new world of possibilities that grows exponentially as we dig further into it with thought.
Ron
A FREE BIRD I WANT TO BE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 12/8/2024 10:32:16 AM
At least with our ideas we are not confined like with everything else. But to be truly free, we should never be persecuted for what we write.
Ron
AT THE END OF TIME - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 4/7/2024 11:39:34 AM
There is wisdom in the expression "the truth will set you free." And since truth is beyond our reach, perhaps it awaits us in a different format and under different conditions. It's worth examination.
AT THE END OF TIME - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 4/6/2024 9:53:21 AM
You offer very dire prospects in these words. We humans, often using "freedom" as our byword for our actions have often ventured into the demise of everyone on the planet except those we consider, "us," whatever that means.
I have been accused of living in a "bubble" of contentment with the way things are. I am not entirely content because I see some of our greatest challenges, caused by our behavior, being sidetracked and delayed by political action rather than knowledgeable action. This is always been the case when we didn't have rule by the people for the people, but ruled by those in power either by military strength, wealth or even merely, rhetoric… "Much ado about nothing."
While good and evil are at work, destroying the planet and restoring it at the same time, the ultimate goal, according to Arthur C. Clarke, "Is for the human race to expand exponentially out into the universe." if something drastic does not prevent our science and technology doing that for us. Something like you suggest–oblivion.

A LITTLE CHURCE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 3/19/2023 8:51:03 AM
Love is the beacon if we only are willing to follow it. A poem of wisdom.
A LITTLE CHURCE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 11/25/2022 1:53:46 PM
Love can seem unattainable at times. That's what I take from this mournful poem of deep thought.
Ron
THE DREAM OF LOVE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 7/17/2022 8:58:38 AM
Touched deeply by this exceptional poem. Yes Love was all, the beginning and the end. Beautiful, Alexis.
THE DREAM OF LOVE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 7/17/2022 7:47:13 AM
It's a stretch. Violence created the beauty and visibility we have to even think of love. However, your sentiment reaches most humans reaching for a kind of utopia that we all wish for.
Ron
Darkness Overcomes- Alexis Karpouzos (Poetry) - 3/20/2022 8:24:28 AM
Amid all the horror and sadness, seeds of hope abounds in this poem. We stand united in its message, for the children of the world.
Darkness Overcomes- Alexis Karpouzos (Poetry) - 3/20/2022 8:17:01 AM
A lesson we have not learned. When we wall ourselves off from others with no empathy for their situation at all we invite their anger and look for ways to distinguish them from what is considered human. We demonize our enemies. And then, we kill them under the name of whatever authority we can dream up for their demise. But it's all a territorial imperative. The more we conquer, the more we are powerful. At least invincible within our territory.
Your message of humanity joining together is really needed in the 21st century to solve our real problems. Primarily human population from consuming our very life sources.
Ron
I'M HUMAN - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 3/20/2022 6:26:38 AM
You have a way to express with just the right words. I'm so totally impressed!
Sandie
Darkness Overcomes- Alexis Karpouzos (Poetry) - 3/20/2022 6:18:50 AM
Hi Alexis:
I have read several of your poems just now and I can't help but being impressed by the way you write! Your words are expressive and heartfelt. Sorry, I have not read you sooner before, but I'm a fan now.
Sandie
THE SKY WONDERS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 2/12/2022 5:32:14 PM
There is great beauty in the poem you penned here, thank you for sharing your talent. :)
THE SKY WONDERS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 2/2/2022 11:02:38 AM
A poignant look at mother Earth's fate at the hand of so-called,`civilized humans who are so smart they can't figure out how to save their own nest.
But if Earth becomes too irreversible to regenerate like Venus, the sky, the universe, will nurture other mothers, many, in the hopes that intelligence will prevail (and become God?)
Ron
THE SKY WONDERS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 2/1/2022 1:58:31 AM
That is quite a conversation between those of us here, and what lies out there. The image ties it together adroitly. Well done.
THE SKY WONDERS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 1/31/2022 7:24:23 AM
Such a mystical dialogue between earth and sky, thought-provoking and profound. It reminds me of my poem posted yesterday entitled "Sea Above the Sky", where I speculate about such things. I wonder if you saw it.
IS OUR FATE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 1/30/2022 2:50:46 PM
I love that statement, the miracle is folded in y our heart, what a great line dear poet. In fact I love the verse in all its wholeness.
Thank you
WHY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 9/21/2021 10:04:44 AM
Such a powerful and deep understanding of life, death, love
and all that we cherish. I applaud your wisdom and your ability
to enlighten. Welcome to AuthorsDen!
WHY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 9/19/2021 9:24:48 AM
There is no simple answer. Everything, including us, has a lifespan that is unrefutable. In spite of those charlatans with their good books proclaiming otherwise. We can't take it with us, so it is best that we calmly let it go. Love may make us feel good, but it isn't the answer either. But it's nice to hold onto while we live out the last of our lives.
Ron
WHY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 9/19/2021 8:31:54 AM
A strong, passionate, heart-felt poem on a subject many people will be able to relate to, especially during these times. Excellent.
I'M HUMAN - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 8/6/2021 2:19:54 PM
Ah, you are a very very wise man. you write with heart and passion, and knowledge is at the fore front here, The truth that we all hunger for has been served by this poem, Thank you , Alexis
I'M HUMAN - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 8/2/2021 9:44:29 AM
It's the best we can hope for and I certainly hope we work hard for it rather than trying to tear it down for egotistical greedy reasons. I wish everyone had the insight that you have in writing this poem of promise.
Ron
I'M HUMAN - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 8/1/2021 9:05:18 AM
I hope your vision comes true. It is certainly worthwhile. At the moment, the opposite is true "because we are human".
MY CHILD - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 7/8/2021 9:42:37 AM
Alexis, this deeply touched my heart. Reminding me to have purpose, boldness and gentle eyes. Thank you for sharing.
THE VISIONS OF GRACE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (Poetry) - 3/16/2021 9:33:15 AM
A very personal immersion in the grand journey from the Big Bang to the present in all of our sentient lives. Once we recognize this grand journey as our journey, we are transformed.
Ron
