The World In Front of Me

                                         Sometimes you gotta quit thinking so much.

   If it feels right, it probably is.

JESUS SAID IT FIRST:

CONSCIOUSNESS IS HEART, SOUL, & MIND.

MATTHEW 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

I do not care if the interviewer agrees with Lanza or not, but it would have been nice if he at least understood what the was trying to say.

.

Lanza for his part doesn’t seem to know how to explain things in a way the interviewer         can grasp though I think he is actually being clear.  He is saying the big bang is only an extrapolation based on the way we think, the logic of which totally breaks down when         you go all the way back,  and I have to assume he is saying that,  therefore,  wasn’t an actual event.

The interviewer himself says that before the big bang there was no matter so there was no time, parroting the view of our present paradigm. But then he insists the “moment” before the big bang is an important question.  I wanted to grab him by the ears and say, dude, you just said there was no time before the big bang so how can there be a moment before the big bang?  When you are talking moments you are talking about time, and that is what Lanza is saying; the logic of the old paradigm totally breaks down if you run it back to its supposed beginning.

  Lanza is saying neither our minds nor our languages are smoothly up to the task of dealing with reality at anything but the Newtonian physics level, the world we live in as animal beings.  The rules and logic we operate on at that level are not reality but mental constructs, most basically space and time.  Space and time are not things “out there.”         They have no existence apart from being tools of our minds, hence we create space and time.

.

This is simply the mode in which we express our experience.  It isn’t “the reality.”

.

  We are taking some of the evidence we see and forcing into these limited constructs,      extrapolating back by the logic of those constructs we arrive at the big bang.  That’s the only way to come to the big bang theory, but if so then the big bang was not an actual happening but merely a deduction of certain bits of evidence from the perspective of the prevailing paradigm.

 I say based on certain “bits” on information because you have to ignore other bits of information to make the present paradigm hold water, such as those that come from the experiments Lanza mentions in which things happen that contradict the logic of the present paradigm.  The way physicists have tried to escape these contradictions is to say, well there is really two sets of scientific laws both of which are true though the contradict each other.  Lanza is saying no, that is nonsense.  There is only one reality so one of them isn’t reality, and he is saying it is the one based on space and time as things out there.

  He is proposing that what the evidence suggests is that a theory of everything not be sought on stuff based physics because essentially it has already proven itself to be wrong if we care to notice these other bits of information.  He is proposing a new paradigm based on life and consciousness, which this information is suggesting. I think it is an important thought and a step in the right direction.  Lanza is in the unenviable situation of having explain to others concepts that he himself is struggling to express.  This way of thinking is in its infancy.  We lack the language to express ideas that are as yet foreign to our present way of thinking.

 We lack the reference points needed to understand more fully.  The reasons this path needs to be explored I think are quite clear.  It is going to be a difficult path.  Here we feel like strangers in a strange land. Lanza avoids, rightly so I think, dealing with how this impacts ideas about God in biocentrism, but if life and conscious is that which all other things arise, then the idea of a super being, a super consciousness is certainly not out of the question.

 In my own thinking that is were I have been for some time; that we are part of that consciousness and that as a whole that consciousness is self aware be definition, and if you want to call it God, then I have no objection, though I would hesitate to connect the concepts of any religion with that being, though certainly some spiritual concepts up around which religions grew may certainly aid in our understanding if only by analogy.

 Whether or not we see true reality clearly or not, it must be true that it is all around us, and as we ourselves are conscious, living beings that we might glimpse pieces of it and have our thoughts influenced by it seem unavoidable. I certainly think Lanza is right about one thing (and likely many): the idea that the consciousness we are ends at death is absolutely absurd.

 Anthony Terry the chemical compound for empathy is serotonin and theres other cells that cause mirror image connections in the brain which in turn cause people to feel what they are seeing in others.. They find in serial killers that most of the time they lack empathy, as a result of extremely low levels of serotonin .. I personally believe serotonin and endorphins cause morality or humanity.. Personally, I have no empathy..at all..I feel nothing, never have,maybe never will, without use of drugs.. but when I dis take m.d.m.a it caused a flood of the chemicals I lack(,serotonin,endorphins) causing me to feel things for the first time ever, empathy being the main feeling I had.. I do believe chemicals are the reason for why we feel anything at all.. An evolutionary trait to stop us from killing off one another and causing us to instead work together to thrive.. Nature changed from survival of the fittest, to everyone works together to achieve the common goal of survival. All this, just by evolving a chemical into the human brain.

 So, this also means the dinosaurs weren’t actually there until a conscious being found their bones, which weren’t actually there either. Does that mean that the conscious being made up the bones and decided there were dinosaurs?
