Listen to me, I hope that my writing is good enough to let me communicate what I understand right now. Believe me please, ask if unclear. OK so basically I’ll have to start with a basic image so you can create a picture, but this image is not what it truly is, just use it to imagine. So picture an ipod background for their commercials, completely white. So this is the background of ALL existence, existence is composed of all dimentions, so the fourth (and other) demensions, the fourth being time. Imagine a sphere impring its image in this white background, so evert movement it makes is recorded in this white place. Now the sphere is the universe, to its entirety, including the world we live in, and all other “worlds” and planets. The dimension of time is the imprinting of this sphere, the universe. So as the universe proceeds in time, it imprints the occurrences (what we do) in this. So as time proceeds, this imprinting (think of it as a a cylinder that’s created by its path of movement. So time has been created and proceeded, with everything recorded. So that means that everything in the past has been imprinted somewhere (in this white place). SO everything in the past can be accessed if you could pass through the barrier of time, which humans are icapable of. But theoretically, you would essentially see everything occurring which has already happened. Now imagine being “god” (I don’t believe but it helps the image) if he looked without the barrier of time, he could see all that happened, and all that will happen. So now picture the possibilities, everything in the future, can now be grasped at the same “time” (not time, just the only word we can describe it as). So this means that the future and the past, are all, essentially, the “past” (same thing). So if everything has already happened, meaning it can be accessed at once, then that means that everything (life, existence, our day to day life) is happening simultaneously as the past everythings (life existence, our day to day life). So that means that we only live through one time perspective, like on instance of time, is only our perspective of it, because it is happening “right now” at another time perspective. So that means that there is only course of life, like there is only one path that life can take because life is occurring in the future “right now” at another time perspective, and there is only one path to that future, so there is a set course of future action. Now take a second, reread that and make sure that thought is understood. To reverberate: time has been imprinted, accounted for, and extends infinitely in both the past and future (if you don’t like infinite, try to understand that we cannot possibly grasp this concept of infinity because we have nothing in our experiences to parallel the concept). Now this means that the future has been preset, but what about free will, don’t we determine our future? Sorry, no free will. Imagine a baby’s mind, completely empty from human encounters, a blank tablet to be influenced into behaving certain ways. So everything that happens during its life, imprints into the baby’s mind. Some of these things are consciously remembered, other memories are imprinted in our subconscious, so we have that influence, but don’t know why if we tried to pinpoint it, and others, sadly, may be lost forever. SO these occurrences make up this babies understanding of the world. But why does the baby absorb certain things and not others initially, at the point where there are no outside influences subconsciously influencing it? DNA. It makes up who we are and how the brain develops, so your brain is preprogrammed into absorbing and not absorbing different things. So back to the basis of the baby’s actions. All of its actions are guided by what it absorbed, which is completely out if its control. SO once one thing is absorbed, the next action is guided by the knowledge of that last action. These are tiny tiny building blocks to who we are as people, we are what we absorb from what we interact with. Once these blocks build, they create a basis for all action, this basis continuously changing every moment. So if we accept that we choose things by our previous encounters, which we have no control over, then we can accept that the actions we make are out of our control, because the basis of decision is out of our control. So if we have no control, no active control, over anything, then life as you know it is out of your control, even if it feels you make your decisions out of randomness. If your one of those people who just grabbed something random to prove to themselves that they just acted out of randomness and not preset reason, you only did that action because of what you previously absorbed, telling you that you must disprove what I said, and grabbing, or making a random action is just what these absorptions have told you to do. Which random act (if you did one) is also guided by your absorptions, some people may have had certain experiences so they react by grabbing something, or touching, or yelling... ect. Anyway, so everything is preset. All your actions are guided by other peoples interactions and actions which are also guided by there own interactions with others… a big cycle. But one that makes sense, so it continues with this premise, into infinite time, each moment predicted and occurring by the past. So if one were able to fully grasp EVERYTHING, every action, every mind, what different DNA;s produce- body and mind (completely impossible with humans) but if this happened, then it would be possible to predict the future, having the knowledge of the past along with knowledge of the mind. Tying everything together, everything is preset, everything could be predicted through absolute knowledge, so no free will, and fate… well of course. So we are all pawns, controlled by destiny, just playing an arbitrary piece in life.
Note: no matter who controls their conscious, so I am me, I would still be me, haviny my “control” if my conscious, just my spark that makes me me, if I were in someone else’s body/mind (minus consciousness) I am saying that no matter who you think you are, you are only you because of what happened to you, so if you were your best friend, you would be guided by all his or her experiences, so you would act, EXACTLY, as they did.
Next time on trip talk, souls, conscious though, where do they come from?
