Clocks In The Wind

Post by sevens »

1. The world is made up of 'things' : Mathematics assigns value to 'things'
2. The world is made up of facts : We store facts in our mind
3. Our mind is a product of the universe : The universe is interconnected, with causality : Our unconscious mind is connected to this interconnectedness, being a part of the whole (explaining certain paranormal activity).

If we assigned a 'personal fact' the value, X, and an 'external fact,' Y: the conscious intersection of X and Y would result in a verifiable 'synchronistic event.' The more 'conscious X,' the higher occurance of conscious X and Y unification. Thus, achieving the ability to ascend to higher and higher consciousness, or, a direct experience of one discernable form of Reality - logically.

A 'personal fact' must be defined as that which 'meaningfully resonates' - transcending mere subjectivity - the intersection of X and Y must be beyond triviality. The unconscious mind, a vast consciousness reserve, can profoundly guide 'our nature' through the symbolic nature of dreams and visions. The same interconnected mind also allows certain thoughts ('X') to enter consciousness, preceding a meeting with a 'Y.'

And it is true, facts do not equal truth. But, these are not the types of facts to which I am referring.

And, since we are essentially replicating nature, through creation of any kind - we are constantly creating for each other - allowing for synchronicity to span the natural and technological worlds.

The world appears to be made up of things. Math quantifies these appearances.

Objective reality is factual. We don't know what those facts are, except for mundane appearance (the seemingly material plane).

Or maybe the universe is a product of our mind. How would we know.

All is interconnected, all is caused, but this doesn't necessarily explain the paranormal. Who's making the crop circles in England, for example?

A cogent idea, and I like it.

I don't see how 'meaningfully resonates' must necessitates objectivity. Lots of subjective beliefs resonate and can be personally meaningful. How would we even know the difference in most instances?

Quote:Quote:<hr>the intersection of X and Y must be beyond triviality. <hr>
Seems to me it can be trivial or profound, large or small, and in fact random or 'invited.'

Maybe. Nice idea, though. Uplifting.

The fact that 'things' appear was the (first) point - regardless of their inherent essence. All that you know as truth (toss the 'mundane and arcane' philosophical ramblings on 'how we come to possess knowledge' out) is the limit of your world. Regardless of whether the universe is a projection of our minds, the point remains: we are intricately woven into the cosmos, through our cosmic mind (dangerously verging on 'new age' babble - insert a babble fish, if you must).

The interconnected nature of our mind with 'Reality' explains 'certain' paranormal activity - 'telepathy, precognition, remote viewing, telekinesis.'

A profound example of a meaningful 'personal fact' intersecting with an 'external fact': You experience a lucid dream in which a 'resonate desire' (the desire to overcome a persistent fear) is clearly illustrated. Upon waking from your invigorating voyage into the abstract, you experience the exact symbol, character or circumstance in waking reality - coupled with the detailed thought of the dream, preceding and merging with it.

The need to divide trivality from the 'meaningful and profound' arises from the same need to separate illusion from reality - rationality from irrationality.

It is more than an idea, it is an experience. Take it a priori, but from a posteriori.
