I'd like to know more about this....what's happening over the next few years with Chaol? And why? Also, why "Chaol" with quotes? I have my ideas but I'd rather hear from you. ;o)
 Quoting: U3


In a few years we will forget all about Chaol.

This is interesting. Do you see us merging into Chaol?
 Quoting: U3


You are much greater than Chaol could ever be.

Chaol is a part of you, not the other way around.
 Quoting: Chaol



So, I"m much greater because he's a value in my perspective? Aren't I also a value in his?

U3,

is there anything you think would be irrelevant to perspective?

Is there any scenario or idea they a feeling in you makes you feel like you have to reject that option?
 Quoting: LOKK 39964291





Hmmmm, there must be things irrelevant to my perspective because there are things I'd like to change. Chaol said to make the things you don't want, irrelevant but I know ignoring something doesn't work.

Relating differently seems to something seems to work to make it irrelevant but for me, it's usually a slow process. I'm still catching on.

Reject the option of something being irrelevant?

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
U3,

IF there is something outside what you would consider worth perceiving, that doesn't make it not a possibility, just irrelevant to your ever perceiving of it.

Therefore you are OUTSIDE of perspective, because your totality is not contained within experience.

-----

For example:

Would you choose no perception at all (can't be thought about because so irrelevant, but for the sake of argument) or the unitary experience of only losing, only suffering, only pain.

Or another way, what part of yourself does having forgiveness make irrelevant?

You cannot ever experience the sum of your existence if you value something. Because the value implies the rejection of something else.

But if you value nothing you are not alive.

----

But since you have experienced things you enjoy, aren't suffering always, that from the mere moment of existence coming into existing that you had already won.

The source is nothing, but if fear were irrelevant what would it be that exists?

If you were afraid to perceive you wouldn't, but you do perceive, so I think perception and love and winning are all very similar.

Why would you want to trade winning to experience infinite fear and suffering in the unity of nothingness "truth" (though you wouldn't experience anything, which could maybe be worse that the worst suffering that you could experience)

We resist the truth because we have values, something worth fighting for, something worth believing in, something worth hoping for.

Just a rant of thoughts, not necessarily a good logical connection ;)

I want my wife to be happy and feel love

Those things dont exist in unity/0/nothingness

Existence itself is fabricated upon a lie.


But it is a good illusion, this should maybe make you feel more comfortable that existence will always be a distortion. Because it is distorted for your happiness.

----

Unconditional Love resists nothing, but also resist the MOST unconditional love which is unity, because there is nothing to be had there.

So you are resisting no thing, and nothing... which then brings more love into perspective for forever and ever and ever and ever.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.

A few years ago when I switched from catholic to atheist I went through a lot of fear associated with fear of non-existence.

The thing that finally helped was a quote that went something like

"I never was much bothered by non-existence before I was born and I doubt it will bother me much after I die"

There is nothing to experience there. There is no fear associated with it because there is literally nothing to fear.

You don't fear what it was like living before you were born because it is irrelevant, you have already been born.

If you are experiencing fear of non-existence (something that YOU can never experience) it could also be said that you REALLY LOVE existing and perceiving.

Since you can't ever not perceive non-existence that fear is also irrelevant. But you are perceiving now, and you get what you focus on. You have choice on what you focus on and perceive.

So the only thing to fear IS fear itself (because it just draws more fear)

But if your most fundamental logic is that existence and perceiving itself is positive and there is nothing to perceive in Nothingness/nonperception then let go. There is nothing to do, because you already have what you want (to be alive, to be able to experience, to be able to give and feel love)

Now the only "task" it perceive more of what already is.

You know, I was thinking just today, I don't feel fear when I wake up in the morning and don't remember a thing, lol! It's as if I don't exist when that happens.

I probably just like having a fear because it makes me feel alive, ya know?

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
Even if you knew and understood the entire universe, you'd still be forgetting something and there would be some kind of illusion.

The "truth" is independent of perspective.

 Quoting: Chaol


I have trouble with that statement. Since we can adjust perspective, we are calling it illusion. But is it? It is consciousness and it has a reality to it. I can't get away from perspective so isn't that truth enough?
 Quoting: U3

It sure seems that way, doesn't it?

And, why would I accept that truth is independent of perspective. What does that actually mean?
 Quoting: U3

That truth is imperceptible.
 Quoting: Chaol


I feel like I want to put in my two cents here.

Perhaps Assassin's Creed has it right (I think they're close) that: "nothing is true, everything is permitted"



I interpret the word "truth" and "existing" as two terms used to describe the same concept, both being irrelevant beyond the usefulness of their context.

Maybe (and I think so):

It's not that "Nothing" exists and everything is an "Illusion" (nothing is true, everything is permitted). It's that EVERYTHING exists and the "illusion" we perceive is constructed by the logic we use to interpret the "EVERYTHING" (everything is true(existing) in the proper context(perspective) and we can only perceive within a "limited" perspective(logic).

Since the "nothing" and "everything" are both irrelevant to perspective (when nothing or everything includes "anything" beyond the logic of the perspective that defines them), they NEED (and can) NOT EXIST (be true) and since they're imperceptible, they're beyond logic and only useful as a reference to that which is beyond perspective.

If we have the capability to perceive "nothing", we become irrelevant to "everything". Since "nothing" need exist, we find "everything" exists and we need only provide (intuit, discover, create etc) logic to perceive "it".

The logic always follows the same path of least resistance as the perspective that spawned it.

"We perceive that which takes the least energy to perceive."

That "perception" is irrelevant to "truth" and "existing" if "truth" and "existing" are something that transcends the context of the perspective where it was born.

It's not whether something is "true" or "existing" it's whether something is "useful" or not. Something need not be useful in one perspective (context), to be useful in another.

I hope that made sense to someone other than myself. (lol, we're finding infinite ways to discuss "nothing")
 Quoting: MutantMessiah

I don't think everything is permitted, as that would be contrariwise to the law of energy conservation.

Ecsys holds that "truth" does not exist. But I agree that both are irrelevant beyond the usefulness of their context.

You raise a good point in saying that, "It's that EVERYTHING exists and the "illusion" we perceive is constructed by the logic we use to interpret the "EVERYTHING" (everything is true(existing) in the proper context(perspective) and we can only perceive within a "limited" perspective(logic)." But I would add that the logic and the construction and the interpretation is the same thing.

In that way, "nothing" and "everything" would be the same thing, and both irrelevant to perspective.

But where it really concerns our reality is how the illusion is illustrated.

So, as you have quoted, It's not whether something is "true" or "existing" it's whether something is "useful" or not. Useful in this way being "relative". The more relative it is the more useful it is.

The illusion need not be "true", only relative.

And the illusion is the ultimate truth (that can be experienced) because it is that which takes the least amount of energy to be used. And our now experience is that which takes the least amount of energy to be experienced.

Interesting thoughts about nothing-in-particular.

 Quoting: MutantMessiah


Haha, I followed along.

For me, I find using the concept of "INFINITE" to be the most helpful.

Nothing is the void that contains everything (an infinite number of things)

In order to perceive something it must be SOME THING.

Perceiving could be like counting, you can count by ones, 10s, or millions but will you ever reach infinity? Of course not you'll just be counting forever no matter the "logic"

Infinity is more vast than we can ever comprehend...This universe is almost infinitely large, that universe is like the size of a pebble on earth in the universe of multiverses.... Even all that, is but a sliver of Source/infinity. Existence it self, all that is and ever will be, will only be a tiny microscopic piece of what source is capable of.

So how could we ever perceive the "truth" or source...source implies it is that which gives rise to something. If it gives rise to all things, none of those things will ever be the source from which it is arising from. Thus you will never be able to perceive it because what you are perceiving is arising from the source and not the source itself.

If we are a fractal of the hologram that is source...just think about how vast your being actually is... maybe that'll make you think twice before trying to outsmart your genius ;)
 Quoting: Lok 39964291


I know it would not be a popular thought, but perhaps the universe is not infinite?

In a way, it would be like numbers. There are 10 numbers in our current system. However, if you wanted to you could make these numbers "infinite".

In the same way the entire universe is in our perspective. Neptune need not exist because it is not relevant to your current perspective (only in name).

So then if you explored the universe it would appear infinite but only because your "now" would be filled with your imagination.

What we don't see are those things that are not relevant. And this probably comprises 99.999999% of our "universe" (so to speak).

So then we see that there is always something relevant and then think that there is infinity, when actually we are just refashioning what was already there.

Just a thought.

Yes, it's interesting. (Though I don't think this guy is speaking for anyone.)

We often forget perspective. So "the winning numbers" would most be seen about being something that happens, or comes from outside it.

The "winning numbers" would be as much of your perspective as the fork in the kitchen tray.

It's a useful point that reality shifts to a condition where the winning numbers are chosen, as long as continuous perspective is kept in mind. (Always being in a state of shifting, so to speak.)

We start with the assumption that our subconscious wants anything.

If it does not, then it 1) is free to "give us" the reality that is relative to us; and 2) means that we are our subconscious

Perhaps the question is, How can we find out what is really relative?

Perhaps it won't work, but I will try because I am interested to see how it can be done. This person will reference Ecsys by a different name. (Ecsys will die, but this person's words will live on. Perhaps his name is "Osbios". A mixed-race man of 20 of unknown origin with words as sharp as steel.)

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
Chaol,

So if I wanted to experience "Trying on a red top hat" It wouldn't be able to be a picture or video, but I'm not sure how to trump imagination, other than I wanna prove to myself that I can see a "real life" red top hat to further cement the idea that I control perspective.

I would say the next moment is there to create a differential, so that I can experience more entertainment, excitement, love, joy, and happiness.

And trying on a red had would be silly and exciting.

Would that not be enough reason?
 Quoting: Lok 39964291

I would encourage you to be more specific than this if you want to prove it to yourself. Make it detailed but make it relevant.

In what scenario in your life would trying on a red top hat make sense?

Perhaps you meet a friend on the street who whisks you away on a shopping journey where you are trying on outfits for a party in 2 weeks. You are in a fitting room helping your friend when the sales attendant brings a red top hat that your friend says would look stunning on you.

So you see you are not just making the experience detailed but, at the same time, introducing it into your perspective.

Coincidence if part of my perspective, would be a way to make something exciting and to conserve energy. We call things coincidences (synchronicities?) because they seem too strange to be random. (seeing red hats with a pinwheel after a cat with bell)

A logic we don't yet understand?

But maybe the point is for the logic too allude us?

Maybe it implies a force working outside of our own awareness (logic), a GENIUS who likes to surprise us.

 Quoting: Lok 39964291


Certainly if you experience the same things again then it is a way to conserve energy in perspective. There would not need to be so much 'processing' of the information if you already have things that it relates to.

But in that way, isn't it a coincidence that you're the same person you were yesterday? It's not that there is a yesterday but your memory of "yesterday" is much like the reality today.

Perhaps synchronicities abound without you thinking of them as such? Your feet can walk on the ground, your body is made for the chair, your lungs can breathe the air. It only seems strange when there are new elements in the mix. But the same process is at work.

In this way "synchronicities" would be a logic that is not yet pervasive in other aspects of your perspective.

For example, you start seeing pregnant women at 5:02 outside your apartment. This begins to happen every day. But then you find out there is a Lamaaze studio nearby who likes to park outside your building.

If this happened to everyone it would be forgotten, like the synchronicity of sunshine.

Perspective is one thing working "together".

I have heard of body intuition, where the body just goes it's own way because it is leading one to somewhere the mind doesn't understand, or in a "bad" sense, when the body is addicted to a drug even when the mind wants to stop.

People say they have feelings like "I shouldn't trust him" not from a thought based perspective, but like their heart is telling them.

Maybe or conscious (Jimmie Cricket) is like an intuition, because thought it may stray from what the mind thinks, it is "for the best"?


Any more thoughts and comments are appreciated. :D
 Quoting: Lok 39964291


In this way our subconscious is no different than our conscious. Our 'body conscious' no different than our own thinking.

Many things coming together, acting as one when the individual actors are not aware of the aggregate being.

So, to keep it interesting, why not make up a huge cosmic game? Why not invent opponents and high stakes and drama and purpose?

Then, to make it even MORE interesting, why not forget that it is all made up in the first place?

And now, of course, we've reached a new game level. The rules (that we made up ourselves) have changed, and here we are, trying to figure out what they are.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28260931


Sounds about right. And, once we figure it out, we start all over?
 Quoting: U3


You mean, once we reach what we assume to be the end of the path?

Our presumptions would always be at least slightly mistaken. The biggest one being, I think, that it is possible to "figure it out".

Not because It is so complex, but because it is too simple.
 Quoting: Chaol


Are you saying we never figure out our existence, our perceptions, our origins?
 Quoting: U3


To understand a greater percentage of "the all" than we do now? No.

A different understanding than we do now, sure.

But where there is perspective, there is always mystery.

The joy, I think, comes when we cease thinking that there is something else that we do not see.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
I only need to fly in this reality because I enjoy it. From your comment, it sounds as though you have...at least close enough. Heh! I like it!
 Quoting: U3


I could not get flying to work. It's too unlike the logic I have built up in this reality. But being in 2 places at once and acting therein would be a very interesting ability to have.

Chaol told us one time that the reason we see gravity is because we believe in gravity. Where did I get that belief? And if belief has to do with what I perceive, then there must be more to forming my perceptions than what I understand about the Genius.
 Quoting: U3


I would be interested to see such a quote, if possible.

I don't think Chaol "believes" in belief but rather, the power of Logic. (And we are often unaware of our own beliefs, as many go deep within our conscious thinking.)

The power of gravity does not come from belief in it but in the Logic. It's how our perspective is structured.

I think Chaol would say that there is no belief only an interpretation of logic. We can believe that something is true, for example, because we see how the logic is most relevant.

Chaol spoke about gravity being structured representation (matter that has been structured), or Logic. Logic is not about "belief" but a group of representations that have been organized in a way, which allows for relativity to take place.

With gravity there is attraction and repulsion, and with logic there is structure and unstructure.

I think Chaol just meant your body. The body is your logic that lasts a lifetime.

I don't get the sense that there's a plan for anything, other that that which we make up for ourselves.
 Quoting: Chaol

So, I decided the logic of the lifetime of the body?
 Quoting: U3


Past is just a value of the now.

Decide.

But it's not something set in stone. Your logic changes at each moment, as relationships do. But it's not something we need to know about. (I've seen in represented in the human body but I had no idea what I was looking at.)
 Quoting: Chaol


Why isn't it something we need to know about?

What I'm trying to understand is how I use logic. For example, I didn't realize until a couple of days ago, how much I had been integrating The Netherlands into my life...seemingly for almost my whole life. Just the other day, my family commented on how European I look. I realized I had been dressing and acting European....walking everywhere, riding a bike everywhere, often wearing my hair in European hairstyles.

In the past, I would have even said it must be my destiny. Now, I see it that for whatever reason, I integrated it but I have no idea why. After I met the first people from NL, did I like them so much I kept integrating their country? I didn't like them that much, imo. It's just strange but something I'm looking into.
 Quoting: U3


Hi.

I just mean that it is represented in other ways, so we don't need to know about how the logic of the body changes as each moment. (It is reflected in our reality.)

For your example, just because there are some correlations with The Netherlands does not mean that there is something more to that, or that is where you will end up, or there is a message there. That's more about interaction rather than logic. Logic is free of representations on that scale.

"The Netherlands" is how you've chosen to interpret some of those values. You've chosen something (The Netherlands) based on what you have interacted with already. The interaction is not with the country but with the concept. And the concept is one interpretation out of a multitude.

There's perhaps no reason for it, other than it's something that makes sense in some way. Sometimes we try to extract meaning where none exists. The only "meaning" being a Logic that is free of meaning and exists because its a way to relate to something, and make new relationships.

In a few years we will forget all about Chaol.

The Genius, however, lives on.

 Quoting: Chaol


This is interesting. Do you see us merging into Chaol?
 Quoting: U3


You are much greater than Chaol could ever be.

Chaol is a part of you, not the other way around.
 Quoting: Chaol



So, I"m much greater because he's a value in my perspective? Aren't I also a value in his?
 Quoting: U3

In theory, yes.

But since you are the one asking the question, no.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
U3,

is there anything you think would be irrelevant to perspective?

Is there any scenario or idea they a feeling in you makes you feel like you have to reject that option?
 Quoting: LOKK 39964291


Hmmmm, there must be things irrelevant to my perspective because there are things I'd like to change. Chaol said to make the things you don't want, irrelevant but I know ignoring something doesn't work.

Relating differently seems to something seems to work to make it irrelevant but for me, it's usually a slow process. I'm still catching on.

Reject the option of something being irrelevant?
 Quoting: U3


Let's separate the two in definition.

Ignoring something is an active resistance when there is intent to ignore.

This is different than making something irrelevant. [link to www.godlikeproductions.com]

When Chaol uses "ignore" it's more about making it irrelevant to you rather than pushing it away.

You would then have conditions where that thing can no longer thrive or exist.

But of course, a thing is more than it appears.

"Relating to it differently" is more practical advice. A different relationship would mean a different perspective.

The thing you wanted out of your reality would instead be embraced, and become something else. (Meaning, instead of pushing part of your self away you would continue to accept all of your values, and simply change the values that are no longer relevant.)

To make something irrelevant, shouldn't you make it illogical? How can it relate if there is no logical way of it relating to 'you'.

Not-Chaol
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1288466



Well, yes, that would work. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make it illogical. I do better at relating to it differently, at least so far.

Btw, isn't relating to something differently changing the logic?

I want my wife to be happy and feel love

Those things dont exist in unity/0/nothingness

Existence itself is fabricated upon a lie.


But it is a good illusion, this should maybe make you feel more comfortable that existence will always be a distortion. Because it is distorted for your happiness.

----

Unconditional Love resists nothing, but also resist the MOST unconditional love which is unity, because there is nothing to be had there.

So you are resisting no thing, and nothing... which then brings more love into perspective for forever and ever and ever and ever.

I like it, it works for me

I like it too. Very much.

But, I have a question. Is our only choice to live with fear of non-existence?
 Quoting: U3


This "fear" of non-existence is more primal than something to worry about in human living, I think.

It is not the same as "fear of death" but more of a resistance of nothing-in-particular.

Now I'm pretty certain I have no idea what you are talking about, particularly because you seem to be putting words in my mouth.

Are you sure you have the correct conversation here and in your previous comment above?

You do realize that I didn't say any of that, don't you?

It would be as though I was mayor of a small town and you held me accountable to everything that the persons residing in my town said.

A bit unreasonable, I think.
 Quoting: Chaol



I'm referring to this:




Why do something that your subconscious can do far more effectively?

We don't need to learn the Genius, because we already know it and use it. We then have only to learn how to listen to it, and see what it is doing.
