More About Me

An idea worth spreading

"...Some part of me can't wait to see what life's going to come up with next! Anticipation without the usual anxiety. And underneath it all is the feeling that we both belong here, just as we are, right now."

• A comment on Conversation: How randomness of a photon particle in a two slit experiment could explain the phenomena of Consciousness and Decision-Making

  Jun 13 2012: “I visualize a vast grid of 0-1 flip flop grid squares whose pattern of 0 (dark) and 1 (light) changes constanly. 0 is irrational or untrue belief. 1 is rational or true. The patterns are intricate. The aggregate of dark squares at any one nanoseconed is the “streak of the irrational” in the “world soul”**. 0/1, strife/love, false/true, yin/yang, form II/form I. But consider: the irrational (false) beliefs generate objectified thought-formations although untrue! So irreal reality is repeatedly generated.”-Philip K. Dick.
  **Plato

  Mar 21 2012: response to orlando
  "
  It make much more sense to assume how free-will would exist until after the fall but with this approach you would have to explain how exactly did Adam and Eve make the choice of eating the "forbidden fruit" from the tree of knowledge if before the fall everything was part of God's plan. With this approach we would also have to explain how God lost control of not only his creation but pretty much everything else.
  
  So from what you say, God was dead until the dead sea scrolls were rediscovered? I'm not sure if I follow for the simple fact that the Dead Sea Scrolls have not inspired more faith into everyone....also from those who have read it, they state there is really nothing special about them....if this is indeed the case, this is a sad way for god to emerge back into existence wouldn't you think? "
  
  1. if you read the old testement backward, the chronology makes a little more sense. he lost control the seconed he iniated creation, pre fall people could talk to god (or gods) directly and did whatever they said. i think that led up to it becoming too easy for a voice other than gods own to do the same, so then the occulusion, one so great it put a casam between us and it. jesus was it breaking back in, and showing us the situation we are in and what we should do. the DS scrolls were a litteral living word buried, and when uneathered litteraly traveld into the viewers brian and released itself, starting true time again. history imo can back what has happened sense the 40's to now has been, diffrent.
  
  2. the words of jesus christ directly were of no importance? i disagree. thomas what his hand and did nothing bust listen and follow, he added nothing of himself in being jesus scribe, and by greek definition twin. the force which we have been put against from a.d70 till the 40's was great, and it is indeed a great drama.

  Mar 19 2012: i would say the opposite, and that free will did not exist untill the fall. with the fall was occulsion in us and the god head, as we may forget and thus choose to experience agape, the ultimate aoplogy for creating in the first place. god remembered himself through christ and his death stoped time in order to work undetected till the 1940's with the nag hammadi scrolls descovered, the atom bomb, and the finding of dna, and lsd.

  Mar 19 2012: maybe the non being god decided to create, and that instant hatched an egg with twins who, in the selfish act of creating istelf (becuase of free will) made one twin angry and pulled an opposite direction, between the two creating (in hologram form) the universe. the angry twin was the matter of the universe, as it is streaked with the irrational. the good twin was novelty and light in one. god did not see this happening but the seconed it did he decided to undue it from his point (the end of time, but he is in all time, anyways) to in negentropy to reverse the process from the inside. our expressin of information to this point has created a new module for the first twin to further the unwinding process. it is computer like, and works in binary. it facilitates the push-pull relation ship with us in this dimention and it in the 5th. god is us, god is this information feeding entitny, god is outside time and the unduing of time(entropy). god is infininiy in every aspect. suffiring is complicated but the death of himself in a.d40 was an act on himself becuase of freewill in the first place. see also, the breakdown of the bimecurial mind.or, not. all of this is prob untrue.
  but as you said, its all in faith.
  the twins was also himself.

  Mar 19 2012: i dont know about all this, but what you have defined is not how i see it.
  
  
  it IS all faith based, though.

• A comment on Conversation: What is Time?

  Mar 15 2012: i would go further in describing time in its relation to reality
  
  Fake time (i.e reality) replaced the real(non-linear time) and just spun itself out like sensory hallucinations during sense-deprivation: generated by low level construct entities…or even by its own hypnoidal automatic process-like stream of association thinking. then it would be tottaly entrpoic, running gradually down-degenerating, but not slowing down in tems of real time; rather, it just discharges itself faster and faster into a vacuum, that of time as receptacle of being.

  A comment on Conversation: What is Time?

  Mar 13 2012: its a product of the universe, it is in our genes(i.e metabolism). but as to the points you made, is binding only to the material. i think time is a spatial(or lack of) quality.
