I'm wondering if this thread would be better located under the metaphysical, hologram world thread. Though I am unsure how to move it.
I'll have to read Island, sounds intriguing.
Oooh David Icke! I did look him up after reading the Insider thing...is he basically a cult leader? Why is he so (seemingly) beloved/followed by so many?
"Beware of Invisible White Rabbits. Their holes tend to lead to hallucinogenic briar patches and “How are you, Mr Wilson” experiences."
Can you elaborate what you mean? I'll respond to the inference I drew from what you are saying - don't worry, I never take anything anyone else says as fact until I have fully explored it or vetted the issue myself. Thus, I rarely see danger in chasing real or imagined rabbits - I'm far too aware of the power of self-delusion. Plus, even those things I do take as fact often have an escape clause
So to clarify, you are saying you do NOT believe in "Oneness"? Or you do not believe in a finite oneness? Do you believe earth is a prison of sorts? I just want to be sure I understand where you are coming from.
My logic, philosophies, etc., having been pushing me towards a cyclical understanding of existence and, likely due to the limitations of my mind, tends towards a "Oneness" view of existence (of course, this always leads to the problem of okay, then who/what created the circle and why). I would like to better understand your hypotheses and four mathematical patterns that oppose the idea of "platonic epistemology" to challenge my thought process, which has entered an infinite loop.
I read your mathematical mysticism thread, but I must admit, I am having a hard time totally following. Would you be willing to state the basic ideas in layman's terms - i.e. can you speak in ideas rather than idea labels? Like what is axiom zero? I've never learned this. It's making me conjure up a concept I've knocked around for years of the number line going out in separate directions towards negative and positive infinity, but negative and positive infinity are equal in concept, so really the line is a circle, which means infinite nothingness begets something - a circle. And an infinite number of overlapping circles makes a sphere with points of axis that act upon each other and thus create waves of something called possibility. All possibilities simultaneously exist and we exist within one of those possibilities...
Some key points or patterns I've observed (that I haven't pulled together entirely yet and cannot fully explain why I know, or think I know, these things). I am young, and still rather uneducated in this realm, and am only able to go off of my personal observations and intuition and ability to speculate.
- Sphere's are important
- Waves are important
- Positive and negative duality is important
- Most things we view as linear are probably wave folds (perhaps like the infinity symbol or simply a circle - cause effect loop, karmic balance) - including time, it just looks linear from our perspective
- From that perspective, there are spectrums of duality and points of balance
- Things go inward by as many (in)conceivable levels as outward
- Positive energy congregates in a stable core and negative energy speeds around the outside - this can be seen paralleled in many ways
- How to put this in words...lets say you have a gelatinous mass with positive and negative polarities. When the positive and negative are balanced, the gelatin keeps its stable form. If the push and pull between the polarities begin to wave, dip and peak, push, pull, the gelatin will be unstable, vibrating, creating waves. If the waves get big enough, the gelatin might fling apart.
Science has inadequately answered for me - why a big bang (actually given duality and the push pull creating waves of cause and effect, I can actually conceive of this, BUT, why existence, why duality? Is duality simply the result of existing vs. not existing? Why have a will to exist? Further, why have a will to survive (life)? where does this Will derive from? why act on the world?, why not simply exist?, why evolve and change?, where does collective understanding of "good" from?, why soooo smart, yet soooo stupid? why do we know and reason just enough to feel angst over a desire to explore, know, be at peace? why patterns and mathematical givens? That implies there is some organization - a natural result of balance/equilibrium? Still leads me to ask, why does there need to be balance between opposing forces? Why have opposing forces?
Funny you bring up RA Wilson. I know extremely little about him, but a friend of mine who had followed his works has always told me I share his brain. I suppose that is a compliment, though I suspect I am not that intelligent and am certainly not that well-read and verse in the academia of philosophy, et al.
