HHEEEYYYYY people.
Happy Christmas. I hope your all knocking off and looking forward to festive season full of cheer!
Anyway, I feel the urge to be an intellectual exhibitionist and burp out the most recent revision of my personnel interpretation of what is really going on.
anyway, for starters.
Perspective is everything. Its that whole paradox that we can't be sure if what we observe is real of false. Our entire existence occurs in our minds. Our horribly frail and unreliable minds.
so reality, may or not be.
Second.
Fate. Causality. Destiny. Call it what you will, but many of the things that happen to us our completely outside of our ability to predict or prepare for.
Third
Death. We are all going to die. we don't know when why or how(I Hope). Its the only iron clad guarantee we get.
Ill call that the trinity of Pho. Consciousness. Fate. Death
These are things universal to all people, unavoidable foundations of the human condition.
When I was a child I was comforted by the catholic vision of reality, with a omnipotent benevolent deity looking after me and mine, a glorious afterlife and simple doctrine for eternal happiness.
Then I turned 6.
My dog died. I was assured by my parents that the dog would be in heaven when I died. Very comforting.
The thought occurred to me though, that the major provision for entry to heaven was a life lived in grace, which required an understanding of sin and the fortitude to live a life that way.
My dog wasn't great. He ate a neighbors cat and crapped on the floor frequently. Im not sure what the canine precepts for sainthood are but im sure that Zulu didnt have them.
Cue years of Teen Angst/research/alcohol and life experience trying to figure out a creed that i could live my life around.
Anyway I finally found that answer in..........Physics!
or more specifically quantum physics.
Entanglement. String theory. Schrodinger's cat . All solid 24K gold when applied to the metaphysical sciences.
When I think that every part of my body is immersed in a sea of particles which are capable of travelling anywhere or anywhen in the universe it provides me a real feeling of connection to the universe.
From my perspective I will live, age and die. My time will pass.
To sub atomic particles the part of space which I inhabit is eternal and infinite. From their perspective I am forever.
Not only that but quantum physics creates reality through observation.
Not unlike the human mind. Neuroscience has been theorizing that human consciousness utilizes quantum entanglement for computing since the 1980's. Scientist have recently isolated potassium compounds capable of creating stable entangled particles in the human brain. If we are using quantum entanglement in out neural architecture the ramifications are mind blowing.
Anyway, I know its a bit of an incoherent mess, and unless you have some understanding of quantum physics it just reads as garbage garbage garbage.
So I will summarise how the philosophy applies practically.
As soon as anyone believes something, that thing becomes true from their perspective.
What you believe to be true only affects your reality, not others.
Literally anything can be the truth if your faith is strong enough.
The truth is infinitely mutable between time and place, but totally constant at the same time.
