  • Intelligent design; God, taken seriously

    Creation is an action and an action happens as a reaction, which in turn occurs because of another action. This means that creation or creating and concepts that can only exist in a time-restricted world. As time allows for one moments to be followed by another moment. Imagine time not occurring, so everything is frozen and still. Thinking about this we can tell that this can not give birth to time. So time is timeless. Which makes absolutely no sense. (If there’s an discrepancy then help me out pls)
  • Intelligent design; God, taken seriously

    Time has no beginning so the universe couldn’t have been created. Creation happens in time but before time nothing is all that is possible.
  • Do colors exist?

    How do colours exist to the blind? No. Does hate exist to someone who has never had problems with anything? No. Does anything exist to someone who has never existed? No. When one thing exists it allows another thing to exist. Eyes=>colour, problem=>hate, exist=>things exist. One thing creates two things and two things create three things and three things create everything. For some it exists and for others it doesn’t so colour isn’t objective. If it’s not objective but subjective does that make it fake? Who know haha. If a human was born with consciousness but not thinking or senses what would exist for them?
  • The myth of material wants and needs


    If you're reading a book and you get so into what your reading that you forget about the people and things around you, then surely you do not want anything more than what you're reading. Something occurs when someone gets so engaged into something. On wikapedia it's called 'the zone' . When you are in this condition (which can occur at any point of Maslows Pyramid) then material needs all go straight out the window. It's only when you aren't getting distracted by a task that you begin to delve within the realm of wants and needs. If you are starving you reach a sort of 'zone' at which you need to get food. Once food is being eaten you are at peace until you finish. Then once finished you will think about getting more food, and if not then you would think about chatting up someone you find attractive. Comfort leads to needs. Being uncomfortable means you focus on only one need/want. I suppose that being in 'the zone' and completely absorbed in an action is something that (if done all the time) then no matter whether you are rich and live with comfort/ partners/ food etc etc or you are poor with nothing that no needs are needed.

    What I am trying to say is needs appear in the mind to fill in the time as a distraction to bring you to a state of not needing (the hopeful outcome) so you have peace. Also many men and women in 1st world countries who have a lot of money often spend lots of money eating food on dates etc Isn't food a primary need? Poor people also want food but many with a lot of money and comfort overinduldge until they are completely full.
  • Did sin enter the world through Adam, Satan or Yahweh? Most, as well as scriptures, say that it was
    (If we don’t think at all then we are always happy and in a ‘heaven’)

    Correction* You wouldn't be happy, you would just be. Sounds quite boring eh.

    Knowledge can only occur if you can think ‘I think therefore I am’. If you know something happened then you think you know something happened. It’s because of our thinking that we are self conscious and we are fearful. If we don’t think at all then we are always happy and in a ‘heaven’. Think about it, if you don’t think you wouldn’t think to wear clothes as you wouldn’t think about people judging you or keeping warm. So once a person thinks they give rise to suffering and pain as our own thinking makes us suffer. I suppose the fruit of knowledge, although it sounds tasty, removes the eater from a heaven.
    If you have ever watched a cartoon named sponge bob you can see this as sponge bob is mostly happy as a result of not thinking too much and another character named squidward is really depressed and angry as he thinks too much and is quite clever. ( this is all theoretical by the way, so if there are discrepancies let me know )

    So when you have knowledge you lose your innocence. A part of you dies.
  • The meaning of life speculation


    To reply to you it will seem like I’m going to go very far off topic but it’s necessary:

    Think of life at the very beginning as a person standing/ walking around a pitch black room. Each time this person thinks the room changes colour. Once one thought ends the colour changes to pitch black until another thought begins and then the room will change colour again. Once one thought cycle is complete (let’s call this the time it takes from the beginning of one thought to the end of it) the room becomes pitch black as it gives form to nothing. In this state, the previous thought no longer exists (even if it can be recalled and it occurred as a result of a prior event) it is a moment that can never occur again (at least in our illusion). No matter how much you think: the room will react by changing at that instant of your thought. The meaning of life cannot be the meaning of life if you can think it up because thinking gives rise to phenomena (in our case a newly coloured room) which may not exist in the moment as our perceptions may be flawed( some are colour blind and we may all be on a spectrum of colour blindness). So once we open ourselves up to the possibility that our perceptions are flawed as we have biases etc etc then the final thing to do is to try to give permanent rise to a pitch black room. In this absolute darkness where there is no concepts and no thinking (perhaps no you either!), can we ever hope to gain any true insight into the nature of the universe. Through the experience of the impossible to experience as there is no one to experience it can one hope to ‘grasp’ reality or nature.

    I may block my awareness as you say, as I don’t see how the colour that appears in the room actually has any value. Our awareness is limited to our senses and our senses may not show us what is actual. My thinking is limited as thinking is limiting. Thinking can only operate within time and space and so the illusion that we think from one moment to the next is real and exists but doesn’t give much value to thinking. To answer your question (How they exist?) is a question that we can only intuitively know the answer to as our thinking may not reflect reality, it has to be more of a feeling but even that doesn’t do it much justice as feeling is the illusion of phenomena effecting the senses. You can intuitively know something if you experience it in nothingness where you don’t exist and then come back to thinking with the truth. Which goes back to the gap between thoughts.

    Visions and senses cloud the path (or room), only one thing is absolute. This thing is nothing. Maybe in nothing we learn the ultimate truth, although who is really going to be the learner at this point? What is the learned if it’s experienced outside of time/space?
