after listening, i feel distant from my body. it is a wonder that if we didnt exist, time would be materialization of space and not a process. this body will die, but consciousness will live on, as for my window of perception, i hope to appreciate the cyclical eternal now...

free will IS cosmic determinism!

[@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley]

And so by the same measure... cosmic determisim IS free will? Or is that different?

A decision maker decides what the uncertainty principle cannot.

Many worlds theory. Was your world view worth saving? I weep for his children 😢

[@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley]

Interesting @bryandraughn9830 . So, are you saying that randomness is an inherent aspect of the universe, and choice as a consciously ordered act, operates “above” this chaos? Thanks for dropping in! ❤️

[@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley]

Just to be clear @deathbydeviceable we never claimed the actuality of many worlds, only stated that some physicists believe that it’s required to 1) avoid a deterministic reality, and 2) by the uncertainties of QM. My beliefs are rooted more in the idea of wholeness. Neither individual or environment act as a hierarchy over the other. Since both are aspects of the same evolving system. 👍

[@deathbydeviceable]

@@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley if it's how you see it I guess. That's the beauty of "many worlds". Reality is what you make of it separate from the real which everyone calls "absurd" cause it's not scientific

Dependant origination, but the Buddha opened the gate to the deathless, and some are capable of entering the stream , becoming an arahant or an awakened being. this is the only possible way to get out of the endless wheel of becoming. They who take this path are few in number. Western philosophy missed this,

I’m actually reading the Bhagavad Gita at the moment. ❤️ I also saw an interesting piece just the other day which said, there have only ever been two religions. One, which look outwards into the infinite nature and then encourages us to align ourselves with its purity. The other, which sits quietly and looks inside towards our inner infinite nature, and then to encourages us to align to that purity. Thanks for sharing with us!! ❤️

Great Stuff Thanks. May the multifaceted blessings of the flying spaghetti monster rain down upon you. So to save you some time I'll answer your question. Myself is Everything that isn't Everything that isn't Myself. (Including nothing of course) By the way if you get a chance to check out Tom Crowley let me know what you think I think your sense of humor will appreciate him.

And you! 🍝🧌 I am I. I am me, but I am also you. I am perspective. I am finite. I am a story. I am space. I am time. I am infinity. What am I not? I am not... everything. But is there anything other than what I am? No. As I am infinity. Then, how can I not be everything? Because you are you. But are you not me? I am, but from my perspective. Your perspective of you is still mine, only from your perspective. Because from the moment we divide the I into an “I am”, we unintentionally declared the infinity of what I am not. We drew the invisible border. We identified the perspective. And in doing so, digitised reality. The closest description to anything ultimate was the final comment... I am infinity But neither is this complete, as we have already divided this concept into three parts. Three words: I, am & infinity. Three unique thoughts. Though pushing in the right direction, we will forever fall just infinitely short. Even the great IS is yet another perspective which, though beyond our ability to envision, still falls infinitely short. And therefor, all perspectives, from I am I, to I am infinity, are equal in their closeness to the truth. (Something like that?)

Tom was pretty funny too 😂 I made a similar argument to one of my mates the other day about comedians all being left. I don’t like getting into politics since I’m not educated enough on those topics to be a voice. But If anyone is confused about their politics, I say look toward the comedians. By design comedians have to be fairly educated or at least very intelligent, and all like to call bull when they see it, and poke fun at power. But if 100% of the comedians are shooting arrows at only one side of the political landscape, ya may wanna start questioning why. Cause it’s no conspiracy.

[@Lanaaa03]

😤 Well now I'm not watching purely out of defiance! Hmph.

[@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley]

But were you always going to not watch? It’s the same question.😁

Infinity is identical to nothing
