post the deepest shit you can think of

We are the universe experiencing itself subjectively.

OldTome

Deep and has been known for centuries but ignored.

Every single proton, neutron and electron in the entire universe is connected to every other proton, neutron and electron.

Try to get your mind around it: the tiniest particles and energies in this Universe are all connected to each other. YOU are connected to EVERYTHING there is, and EVERYTHING there is is connected to YOU!

I'm not talking metaphysically or spiritually or whatever. I'm talking absolutely proven and true.

Proofs:

Newton's Law of Gravitation says that there is a gravitational force between any two objects with mass. Anyone who has taken physics has seen this equation.

What they ignore is the fact that the force only goes to zero when the distance is infinite. So there is a line of gravitational force, a connection, between an atom on one side of the universe and an atom on the other side. Yes, you can argue that it is infinitesimally small, but it is still there.

Same is true for objects with no mass but with a charge.

Coulomb's Law

The electric force between two electrons on other sides of the universe only goes to zero when the distance is infinite.

One I first realized this shit looking at the blackboard in my physics class years ago I about fell out of my chair.

Reality is a Mirror

When we look upon something, we see it through preconceptions, memories, and opinions we have associated with the object. So, as we look upon the world, we see more of ourselves than the objects that inhabit the world.

Life does not violate the second law of thermodynamics; organisms are like tiny little waterwheels, harvesting the energy from the waterfall that is the rest of the universe marching onwards towards higher entropy.

Most of you probably already know about this but is a good mindfuck for those who don't (at least it was for me). Its called the computer simulation theory. Here is the link: http://www.simulation-argument.com/

Also, if its true, we are in a game and we play games. In certain games, you can play games, like GTA:SA. Its a game within a game within a game.

Infinity's limit is infinity. It must reproduce itself wholly, to build the boundless up from nothing in ceaseless repetition. Yet nothing is not it, and there is no empty place within it to recreate itself, nor any falseness in it to contrast the truth of the emerging infinitudes. Thus is required a great false emptiness, composed itself of that which is without limit, which while having been exposed to all manner of lack, loss and horror, cannot but resolve into the nature of that which made it

life is one big distraction.. it is abundantly clear that what happens on this tiny planet makes no difference to the cosmos.. we buy into a sense of importance to make existence meaningful.

When I was growing up I used to be addicted to reading science fiction and fantasy books. I remember reading all these stories about humans discovering habitable planets hundreds of light-years away. Some of those stories included humans travelling to those far away places. And I always thought how cool it would be to live in a time when humans were just beginning to reach out. As if we were taking our first tentative steps into a bright and glorious future.

Then I watched this ted talk about the new kepler telescope and I realized that I'm living in that time now.

The future is now. Let all your dreams come true.

ddshroom

As to being crazy. I don't think I am crazy I know I am. If I didn't know those around me are constantly reminding me. however I wear my craziness as a badge of honor for it is what allows me to travel into the depths of consciousness and it is there that I find the pulsating source of the love that is the building block of creation. Without letting go (losing) of one's mind the awareness is always obscured by layer upon layer of psychological scars and defense mechanisms which we create to make us feel "safe" when really they are the source of our fear and suffering. By breaking down the ego centric defense mechanism one becomes different from most and labeled crazy. I can live with that since the craziness provides me with awareness of the one and the realization of perfection and nothing else matters.

The chances of the universe forming, life evolving, your sperm, your father's sperm, etc. getting to the egg first are infinitely small.

Outside of knowing that in some form, you exist, everything you experience could be an illusion. Everything from that point on is pure speculation, because you can't be sure what you're experiencing is real.

Outside of our universe, concepts such as cause and effect may not exist. Ideas such as logic and reasoning only apply to our universe, simply because that's how the initial conditions of the creation of it dictated it would be.

There is no such thing as free will - everything you do is predetermined, you have absolutely zero control on your choices. You're merely an actor playing the role in a story that's already been written.

What separates us from inanimate material? Does a rock have the ability to think? If not, why?

Being that pleasure is a good thing, and more pleasure is always welcomed to anyone, you would logically reduce your lifespan by 1 second to receive twice the amount of happiness you would have without taking the deal. Thus, any human, if given the chance to, would reduce his life span to just 1 second for an infinite amount of pleasure. Of course - no one would, why not?

It would be ignorant to believe that we are the only intelligent life form to have ever existed in our universe. There have been thousands of civilizations before us, just think of all the breakthroughs, ideas and inventions that would simply blow our minds. To them, we may be as primitive as we perceive bacteria to be.

Imagine a race between a tortoise and a human being where the tortoise gets a head start of 10 meters. For the human being to overtake the tortoise, he'd have to reach half way first. However, in the time it takes for the human to get half way, the tortoise has moved so that he is no longer 'half way', but slightly further back. The human keeps moving and reaches halfway again, as before, the tortoise has moved and the human is no longer half way between their distances. Given that both are moving at any velocity, the human should never be able to reach half way, in fact, the human should never be able to reach 1/infinityth of the way. Thus, motion is an illusion, as movement is not possible.

The only constant is change.

Everything is unique, there's no such thing as similarity. And all this change is a change in one fundamental substance: energy.

Infinity is the property of spacetime to never cease to expand. However, if spacetime had a point where it began to expand, and it has a point where it can always continue to expand to, then the boundary of spacetime theoretically must be reachable- thus showing that although spacetime may never cease to expand, spacetime itself can never be infinite as its finite boundary will always be able to expand more. This relies on the assumption that spacetime has an expanding boundary- presumably created at the Big Bang- and that beyond that boundary there is no space or time. What would be beyond the boundary of space and time in anyone's guess.

In geometrical terms, spacetime acts like a ray. It has a starting point but spreads out ceaselessly. One may argue that this is not true infinity, as the Planck length represents an actual boundary which cannot be expanded beyond- in other words a true terminus at least from one end. However, if true infinity- in terms of space and time- travels in all directions (inwards past the Planck length- outwards to wherever and beyond) we are left with a paradox of how anything can have a true form if it's form is infinitely complex in all directions. "Form" simply becomes a matter of perspective and no longer a concrete and measurable quality...

The universe is a program that gradually releases its source code to us though mathematics. That is an axiom.

ddshroom

I think that consciousness is shared and not limited to any one place or thing. That is why I think that life is eternal, limitless, boundless, everywhere.

When a person leaves their body (which does not have to be forever) their consciousness is released and becomes more aware of the limitless nature of being. Our thoughts, awareness, and actions are constantly influenced by forces sometimes within our control and sometimes not. Thus the relationship between any being and all being is interactive and malleable.

so i ask you to pray for me as i die and to remember that those who are not here now are still alive and aware and that they love you even more than they did when they had their bodies and that they benefit from your continued love and connection.
