More About Me

I'm passionate about

Autism
The exact causes of Autism remain unknown.
However there is research pointing to time perception problems.

An idea worth spreading

What is Time really?

By questioning the realities of time I am searching for a much deeper understanding than what Einsteins theory of relativity is capable of explaining. This is a critical question that yet remains to be answered in a meaningful and understandable way. As such, where on the scale of time are we as humans in relation to our awareness? Allow me to justify my question. Being human our whole existence is based on seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years etc. But should we really contemplate time at this scale just because we happen to fall into this spectrum of time. To better understand where I am heading lets first look at some of our perceptive capabilities.

• A comment on Conversation: Can we ever design an experiment which can determine whether God exists?

  Apr 2 2013: It also really depends on your beliefs as to what God means to thyself? Oprah says God is in everything. I am not sure about an experiment but I have discovered a way to understand how God or The Higher Self can be all knowing of all knowledge.

  Mar 17 2013: Egocentric Individualistic Entities.
  Each and every organism at a lower level plays an integral role in the formation of a higher level of creation. If it had to insist on its own little egocentric individualistic being, then its very own creation would serve no purpose. This pyramid of unification certainly does not end with humans being far from the top. Across all levels of unified awareness time is the unified summation hence the accumulation of the sum of all that is part and parcel from within. As such individualism can only exist with the acknowledgement that its very existence is based on the unification of lower levels of individualism but yet in itself only forms an integral part of something much greater existing on a higher level. Once you get to realize this it would make you acutely aware that by treating individuals on the same level of existence as yourself with disrespect and in an ill manner you as an entity are nothing more than a cancerous cell. As such you are a danger to that which exists on a higher level standing against the very purpose of evolution and becomes a threat for its survival. Only by eradicating these cancerous entities can evolution be safeguarded towards a higher level of existence.

  Mar 17 2013: I did consider that there could be mental harm and agree with you to some extend.
  One person I studied was Krishnamurti http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/index.php and his thoughts on observation. By quieting our own thoughts to become an observer in a situation we can have better understanding. You would gain sensitivity for another and have insight so that your conversations were not intrusive. But where I agree with you is that does not seem to be taking place in the real world. The key word is seem.
  Through observation and years of painstaking research I believe we are on a spiraling path upwards. The first signs of physical life consisting of highly advanced atomic structures unified into molecules collectively functioning as cells. From the beginning there was unification. But there is also a constant recycling going on at the same time. Not one cell a person is born with is still there when they reach age seven. I believe collectively as atoms unified, human mankind is on the same path. Each individual seeing themselves from their own pivotal viewpoint.

  Mar 17 2013: Freewill is nothing other than the marketing of the end products resultant from the thoughts of the subconscious. As such freewill is the shopping malls of the mind and however you choose to entertain those thoughts will ultimately define your destiny. Freewill is and always will be there for you to embrace no matter what the circumstances. It’s up to each and every mortal to either embrace it or choose to conform to the thought process of others which often lack integrity. The latter would then be nothing less than subjecting yourself to the freewill of others getting to make decisions on your behalf most often not beneficial for the majority of humanity. It might be neither good nor bad but then it’s for you to decide having the freedom of choice to do so. Unfortunately we live in a world where most decisions are made based on the fear of ridicule, rejection and pear pressure.

  Mar 17 2013: Charles, my answer would be as long as neither one of our views, beliefs, etc. would cause intent to harm each other, then it would be appropriate. This would always leave open the possibilities for more discussion, persuasion and so forth. What if you and I were both hunters and we both were successful in each killing a deer. I said a prayer for the animal giving its live to feed my family and you said this was a good day not having any need to say a prayer. Then so happens some environmentalists jog by and yell “murderers”! We both look at each other in amazement and say “they’re crazy”. Need I say more?

  Mar 16 2013: I do not believe I have nor will I ignore your beliefs or non beliefs. My question is can you tolerate someone that believes different than your own? Can we just accept our differences and move on appreciating each other for more than just our beliefs?

  Mar 16 2013: Charles Thank You sharing your comments. All comments are welcome to give us a better understanding of each other.

  Mar 16 2013: An observation: A man of faith continues to believe his beliefs no matter what another man does not believe. A man who believes in nothingness continues to believe no matter what another man of faith believes. These two men see life from their own pivotal view.
  It is a possibility offered in an opinion from my 25 years of research to come to a better understanding of our universe and our perceptions thereof.
  Here you might find an understanding. But it won't come easily and you will have to study, absorb and reflect. Most people would walk away or reject a thought that they do not comprehend in 5 minutes.
  I have tried to put my theory in as understandable as possible format.

  Mar 16 2013: I feel it all ends up on the believer, him or herself. It is apparent that people do question their God in times of personal lose. After what happened last year and reading many posts, I asked myself for a greater understanding? I had an opening of the mind moment for me and I realized what freewill was on a higher level. In a deep moment of sadness, for the lose of these beautiful people, I had a new understanding of freewill and why there can be no intervention that blocks a mans actions.
