[quote:U3:MV84NzI1OTBfMzYzMzA4ODhfQzBGREU2M0M=] [quote:Chaol 1117976:MV84NzI1OTBfMTk4ODk5NzRfOUI2MzI1MjM=] Greetings! [b]The following is of the greatest importance.[/b] What is the purpose of existence? All that we do is explore relationships with anything that exists. This is the nature of consciousness. If we do not seek out relationships with something (anything) then we would not exist. In some way, we seek out a relationship with every representation in our perspective. This "seeking out" is not so much creating consciousness as [i]being[/i] conscious. If it relates to something else, then it is conscious. In life, it is of no particular importance what kind of relationships we explore. We create relationships in order to exist. The relationship someone creates with their violin is the same someone else creates with their crack pipe. What matters is how relative something is to something else. (And it isn't always so obvious. For example, a violin may be more relative to the crack pipe than to a wooden chair.) The value that results from one thing relating with another we may interpret as happiness, sadness, fire, pencils, cookies, faith, shazaam, etc. The relationships are of the same value, as they come about by the interaction of representations. Because a representation is a proxy for something else, and that something else is a proxy for something else, and so on, the values are the same because they are all the same thing. We can only interact with the representation rather than the actual thing. As these representations seem to exist, and do so in a way that is relative to us, the representations appear in a field of time/space. This time/space is the "logical narrative". But we actually perceive every relationship [i]simultaneously[/i]. When you are sitting in your living room, the universe exists (literally) within the entirety of your perceptions. At that moment, [i]nothing[/i] exists outside of your living room (or as much as you perceive) until you perceive it. Nothing that can be written is of more import than what is being said in the previous paragraph. As perception is irrelevant to "nothing" we separate the nothingness into a seemingly infinite variety of representations in order that "nothing" may be perceived from the representations. (This "nothing" neither exists nor does not exist. Existence is irrelevant to it.) We represent "nothing" in order to exist. However, it cannot actually be represented. Thus, what seems like a universe of an infinite variety of possibilities and representations. This trial at "perceiving nothing" is what may appear to some as the Big Bang and as most others as "here" or "now". At each moment [i]the entire universe[/i] is created anew. (This is not an overstatement.) Everything is represented in your current perspective. The planet Jupiter, for example, [i]does not need to exist[/i] until you perceive it. As you can only perceive the representations you may perceive it as a photo, the name "Jupiter", the idea of Jupiter, etc. These representations are of the same value as the actual planet Jupiter (itself a representation). The way you perceive it depends entirely on the way you interact with the representation. When you look at the moon or distant galaxies (or something or someone else) you are actually perceiving a value (a relationship) in your current perspective. Experience and reality is just perceiving the value of your relationships. You are exploring your consciousness. Thanks. [/quote] [/quote]

Hello!
I have been living in this world for some time now.
I came from a place also named Earth, much like this planet. There are a number of differences between my home and yours.
I thought it would be interesting to share a few things with you that are relatively common knowledge where I am from. My reasons for doing so will probably be more apparent in the future.
* Consciousness does not exist (but relationships do)
* Matter is gravity that has been structured
* We are not human (we are perspectives)
* When the totality of something cannot be grasped, it appears infinite.
* Space is not physical
* There is no "now" or "here", but relationships.
We use a kind of language like you use numbers here. Numbers, representations of abstract concepts, were 'invented' to work more easily with the world around us. Our language is no different.
If it were invented today it would probably be thought of as existing in parallel with science. A new kind of science.
This language also enables the shifting of perspective like a kind of mental technology. Some of you may find it quite interesting.
If anyone is interested in learning more please let me know.
Thanks.
