In the previous post ‘On science’ I wrote a bit about what we know and the crux of the post is the step from internal knowledge to external assumption. That step where we assume an external reality based on internal experience is the exact place where all of knowledge and all of science breaks down.… Continue reading The step

On science
If you want to tell me that the scientific method is the end all and be all, then using that method answer this question: ‘What do you know for sure?’ Tell me anything. That thing appeared in consciousness. That is all anyone knows for sure. Beyond that, wild speculation. And how do we go beyond… Continue reading On science
A thought experiment
Draw a timeline. One that starts at the beginning of time and goes until the end. I know it’s impossible but let’s have a go anyway. So, let’s say you just drew a line of some length starting at say the Big Bang and ending when time stops. How much time does that line represent?… Continue reading A thought experiment
Glue
Chop the pattern up into things if you want, concepts make thinking and talking pretty convenient. But don’t forget to glue the pieces back together with the glue of cause and effect. The second you define any thing you also have to define the relationship of the thing to the other things. And those relationships… Continue reading Glue
Two options
There are two options. Either, you think yourself to be a human. In a universe governed by cause and effect. With an infinity of effects to counteract the effect that you can project through your free will. Which of course can’t exist in this universe. But even if it could, what effect can your effect… Continue reading Two options
Drama
Everything is all just drama. Meaningless drama. Drama for entertainment and spectacle. You exist outside of it. Also, outside of time so the drama doesn’t affect the real you at all. Just the little monkey you falsely assume yourself to be. That little monkey? Just drama. The time part is an important point. If you… Continue reading Drama
Create some reality
Nothing beyond ‘consciousness is’ is true. Not a single thing. Everything else is made up. You, me, the universe, science, God, everything. So, what can we say about anything? Nothing without speculating wildly or making shit up. So, let’s do both! Reality is the paradigm that we live in. It is different for everybody. No… Continue reading Create some reality
My dead horse
If meaning comes from understanding the world, then what do we create meaning with? With words. With definitions. With stories. Stories about boundaries between ‘things’. But those boundaries depend on made-up values. We just choose some number, or a criterion to bound our ‘things’. Yellow is a radio wave between this value and that. A… Continue reading My dead horse
Alignment
You are not aligned with the universe to the extent that you have fear based emotions. The universe is trying its very best to align you to it. Every time you have a negative, fear-based emotion it is a sign that you are not aligned. Those are times to check in and see where the… Continue reading Alignment
I am a dream!
Or a character in a video game. But I am also the one playing the Game. Not the character in the game but the player of the Game. As the character i can’t do anything myself. But I am also the Game, the Player and the Console. The Universe, God and Consciousness. Of course those… Continue reading I am a dream!
