[i][u]Mutant Messiah:[/u][/i] [b]Most of the time I find the existing structure is useful as is and it just needed a few lines to intersect with other representations that allowed it to function in a way more relative to my desired perspective.[/b] snip... [i][u]U3:[/u][/i] Snip... So by "seeing" more lines intersecting with a symbol, it's changed your perspective? Could you give an example on the bold paragraph? Thanks! Snip... [/quote] When we hear a word, like Dog, we instantly queue up other related words for possible use that are related to "Dog". So, for instance, if someone says "walk", "food", "bite", etc.. in the sentence following the word Dog, then you'll associate the two by default. You'll think "walk the dog" "dog food" "the dog bites" etc.. You're constantly trying to make sense of all the information you're provided at all times and your perspective is adjusted to accommodate the most likely narrative. Ok, so, let's use headache as an example. Headache as the point(Node) It relates to pain (thick line) It relates to heads (thick line) It relates to salt (medium line) It relates to high blood pressure (thin line) It relates to aneurism (thin line) It relates to brain parasite (thin line) It relates to too much sun (thin line) It relates to alcohol (medium line) It relates to dehydration (medium line) (there are many more I could list but I am sure you get the point, they're "negative" for the most part but it's also an identifier that a change in behavior or assistance may be needed) SO, let's say Headaches are prevalent in perspective and we see them as inhibiting other opportunities or experiences. Let's say that because of continuous bad headaches, I am unable to focus and do my job. So I think what relationships would "Headache" need to be useful to me instead of an obstacle. I could add: It relates to "potential medical issue" (like a check engine light in the car)so(thick line) It relates to "cured by consuming foods that feel good" (in a healthy kind of way, not in a I'm sad lemme' eat a bag a chips kinda way) so (thick line) It relates to "cured by consuming liquids" (thick line) This way a headache is not experienced as a nagging persistent pain keeping me from work and instead as a guideline to good health in general. I wouldn't want to stop experiencing headaches all-together because it does perform as a kind of alert to other underlying potential issues that may need attention. Hope that helps. For a little further detail, if you hadn't already interpreted it this way, the lines represent the logic by which the symbols (points, nodes) interact (where they intersect) and the possibility is brought about within the realm of thought (just by allowing them to interact). So this is a "Genius" friendly process. [/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.
