I don't want some people to get the idea that they are the center of the universe. Your "I" is everything and not-you-in-particular. Perhaps I'll discover a better way to explain it. [/quote] Bwah? Are we not "technically" the center of our own (the one and only) universe (perspective)? When we say all that exists, does so within perspective. Then we say nothing need exist outside of perspective. We are kinda implying that all that exists is structured around your personal perspective with you like a fish eye lens at the center of it looking out into one of infinite directions all equally valid if only you could find the logic to perceive them. When I think of the "I" it seems to me it may be defined as the difference between all representations within a given perspective. Or the no-thing-substance that fills the void between all things in perspective. [/quote] That is my understanding too. Maybe what is implied in Chaol's statement, is that the "I" is all and everything within perspective? This way, technically, there is no "center". In other words, placing myself at the center of my one and only universe, I see what I perceive around me as separate, forgetting that I am what I perceive. The table is "I", and so is everything else. Which is just a value resulting from a certain relationship. I am all values, so I am everywhere and all things within my field of perception (de-centered). [/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.
