What if ghost, bigfoot, chupacabra and humans all live in different dimensions, and the only way people see these creatures is when dimensions cross.
Or what if we all live in an "apartment building" and each floor belongs to a different creature, and the only way we see these creatures are in acommon place like the elevator or lobby?
Not sure if that makes sense to you guys.

If you went faster than the speed of light you would see nothing. The human body (and more specifically the eyes) were designed to see light onlywhen its in the visible range of the light spectrum. And since all forms of light travel at the speed of light, just at different wavelengths, you wouldinevitably outrun light, get to where ever it was headed before IT did, and see... NOTHING.
^^i think.
If you went at the speed of light,what you would see depends on the wavelength you were traveling.
but u my friend have stumbled upon the theory of relativity and E=mc^2 ...
now try to figure how it is that all mass in the universe, is merely energy that has slowed down...
(except dark matter, which is now believed to make up 95% of the universe and we cant even SEE IT!)
This is why I refuse to stay within the U.S. if i want to accomplish something truly great with my life.
The majority of ppl in the U.S. (at least those that consider themselves americans) are very ethnocentric and materialistic.
Money isnt anything! Bettering humanity as a whole, is what we should all be concerned about, but unfortunately thats not the case.
Heres My Deep Thought:
How do you know theres a present?
If everything you do/say/THINK immediately becomes history the minute its "created"?
And if theres no present, is there a future? or merely the IDEA of a future?
(Time, just like money, doesnt exist, its merely an idea, that has been given symbols in order to have it be measured and represented accordingly)
No one even knows for sure what year it is!

What would TRULY +$#% my head up would be if God had no code of ethics. I mean, if there is a whole natural world FULL of life that exists on survivalistslogic and not societal or civilized logic, what are the chances that God is really like us? What if the term "God" is just a amalgamation of theconcept of Father Time and Mother Nature, both of which have no discernible higher intellect or "goal" so to speak. They are merely forces that existto exist. What if God was one of those "forces of existense" that doesn't pick and choose -- like ahurricane or a flood? What if He is the embodiment of Chaos Theory? What if we're all just random ants in his farm with no names or recognizabledifferences in his eyes? What if he doesn't care because he never has and never intended to? And what if we're lucky that he doesn't care, because if he did, he'd be fed up with our lack of faith and obedience? What if the world isstill spinning because God doesn't care enough to make it stop and reward the good ones?

So currently, we are all asleep. We "live" this "life" much like we do in a dream. It is completely irrational, crazy things happen, wearen't even ourselves. It continues until we die, and when we die in a dream we all know what happens. Now what happens when we wake up is an internaldebate I've been having with myself for a long while. If we really do have souls, HUMAN souls, then we may wake up at the very moment of conception, or themoment when we leave our mothers body at birth. Once we do wake up, a short time later we forget everything that we have dreamt because with normal dreams,this happens quite often. If we don't have a human soul persay, we may wake up as something completely different. Something unimaginable, somewherewe've never seen. Something beyond our comprehension.
I think about this a lot.

If God is an "omnipotent being" (even using those words are wrong, but they'll work for having to explain this) then how could you even begin tounderstand what its like for God to exist.
In order for you to understand anything that God "is" then you would have to BE God!
Otherwise, your just wasting your time trying to figure it out.

Look into dark matter, and that would begin to explain what everything else consists of...
Besides, who are you to say where self-awareness begins?
You ever thought that everything is a cycle of death and rebirth, just in different ways, yet you are the same person everytime?
Example: You are conscious of you being a sperm, you meet an egg, and boom! you die. You are born as a human body, you are "aware" of your existencefor 9 months and BOOM! you die. only to be born on a different plane of existence, hence your current form. Each time, re-learning everything you know aboutyour then current world. but only aware of your previous forms because your a result of them. therefore you wont know what happens after you die, until, u die,and u look back upon what it was like to exist, as how you are now.

But we aren't aware of our previous forms. I don't remember what it was like in the womb, or as a sperm. Also, what makes me is the combination ofchromosomes from my mother and father, therefore the most logical point of self awareness would either be conception or when the brain actually develops. Mostlikely conception because we would then "wake up" from the dream that was our previous life. Things are constantly dying and things are constantlybeing born. This ties into reincarnation slightly because we may not have a specific human soul, but this may also be true for animals and insects as well.

For starters, who's to say that finding enlightenment isn't what we all should be doing? The truth is, it's not a waste of timebecause NO ONE knows for sure which path is worth our time to begin with. So no path, not even the wrong path -- toward understanding can be a waste. Look at it like this. Since the world is round, in theory you can get anywhereon this globe by "walking" in a straight line. You might have to circumnavigate this globe a thousand times but eventually you'll get there. Evenif you intend to go to Cali from NY, if you start off ever so slightly N-by-NE, you'll eventually "walk" to the southwestern part of Californiaafter circling the globe an indefinite amount of times. A straight line may be the fastest route from A to B, but it's not the only one, nor is it usuallythe one with the most experience and knowledge to offer.

That's how this quest for understanding God is. No one is sure if they're walking in the right direction. But as long as you don't stop and youkeep going, you WILL get there eventually. That's what faith is. and faith is NEVER a waste of time. It's all you can really cling to in this world.

your contradicting yourself. simply because you dont remember doesnt mean you didnt experience it.
and that animal thing does get me...
with my dog jus chillin starin at me, it gets me to think how he experiences life...
maybe, consciousness, as with time, is relative to the person experiencing it...
which in turn would explain that no matter what we do, we will only ever be able to experience life thru our own eyes...
and never someone elses....

an inch is a measurement which we put a name to a definite length just as a mile is and so on
if you keep on going halfway between 0 and 1 an infinite amount of times, the value of which you are cutting in half will continually get shorter and the sumwill round to a number
for example
0
.5
.25
.125
.0625
.03125
.015625
.0078125
.00390625
.001953125
.0009765625
...
an infinite amount of times
will eventually add up to 1
This notion can be applied to anything that is being measured. When talking about the ice cube, its a physical process. If ice represents 1 and nothingrepresents 0, the ice will continually go down to 0, but never reach it, because the water will evaporate and never cease to exist.
Hope this helps

If you experience something, like truly live through the moment and part take in its being, the would you really not be ABLE to remember it?
Or just not be able to remember it YET? ... Who's not to say you wont activate that extra ___% of your brain you dont use, and recall what it was like to be born, be in the womb, or lets say... be conceived???
Because if all of this is a dream like I previously stated, we forget the majority of things that happen in dreams. We may remember bits andpieces, but we will end up losing everything we knew when we "wake up." What I'm saying is similar to Plato's forms idea where there are twoworlds, the one here and the one when we die. We go there and there are ideas, such as table, so when we are sent back to earth we forget much of this. Howeverlittle things may re trigger these memories, and we may be able to create something new, such as the table.

Nope. Faith by definition is the belief in the evidence of things unseen. Without faith, you would have no fuel to keep you "walking"and if by chance you got "there" without faith, you wouldn't have the proper tools to understand your "location". The only differencebetween the beach and The Sahara to the lost, thirsty, pedestrian is what the map says. It all feels and looks the same. How would you now which part of theworld you were in if you just woke up and saw sand and nothing else? Something has to be able to tell you where you are, in order for you to know in which wayyou should travel onward. That something is faith. And faith can lead a horse to water.Originally Posted by YaAintReady
