Some observations on the way things are
1
The self is not an illusion of the mind, in the way illusion is usually understood.
Much like an axe is not an illusion of the mind, since it can cut and shape a real tree.
So is the illusion of the self, not an illusion;
it can cut and shape reality itself.
2
The universe is not a story - but the peception of it, most certainly is.
Thus the famous question goes: Why did the chicken cross the road?
The answer? To get to the other side.
3
Money, at its core, is a ritual representation of trust.
What good is the currency of a country which no one trusts to see another day?
4
The universe is certain.
Even if in the quantum realm things really are uncertain in the final anaylsis of things,
their uncertainty is already integrated into the universe.
The certainty encapsulating the uncertain, makes it certain.
A certain uncertainty itself is certain.
The universe has already adjusted to this.
You should, too.
5
Whoever believes the origin of the Universe is hydrogen and heat, from which everything arose:
for that person, the realization looms that either everything is conscious -
or nothing is.
6
Only when you find out there is no free will,
through both deep meditation and exploration of the scientific method and analysis of its results,
only then can you notice your thoughts arising from the darkness,
and willfully begin to steer them.
Only when you realize with absolute certainty that there is no free will;
that humans are but a biological algorithm for processing data,
only then, can you experience free will for the first time.
True words seem paradoxical.
7
The universe is filled with entropy.
What exsists here on Earth however, behaves rather like a well oiled machine.
The cycles that seem to repeat indefinitely, are divine.
From the laws of physics, to the Hero’s Journey.
Thus God is present on Earth,
and wherever else in the Universe order manifests out of chaos.
8
Every person extrapolates God to the best of their ability.
A person cannot participate in society in any meaningful way unless they do.
What represents your highest ideal? Is it the socialist man, Arjuna, Jesus, or Lao Tzu’s Master?
You can access God at any time by asking yourself this simple question: Is what I am doing right now what I should be doing?
It is this simple.
To get in touch with this representation is to understand what God is for you.
It is advisable to continuously update your internal interpolation of God with the God that other people construct~
You will never reach God, but through logos with other people, you will get closer to God then you could on your own.
No need to reinvent the wheel trying to create your own God.
Nietzche was incorrect in assuming you ever could in the first place.
9
The meaning of life for a human being is found in exercising responsibility.
Be it for a career, a plant, a repository of code, a child, a parent, a dog, to exercise, to improve, to meditate, to pray, to worship, or even to steal.
Wherever responsibility presents itself to your eyes,
therein you have the opportunity, for the meaning of life to manifest itself inside of you.
10
All scriptures were written by humans.
This fact doesn’t negate the divine, on the contrary -
it shows just how amazing humans are at interpreting.
11
Intelligence seems not to be found exclusively in life.
But in life, it is found in abundance.
12
Albert Einstein said: “I think the most important question facing humanity is, is the universe a friendly place?”
It is to the optimist. It isn’t to a cynic.
The universe is what you make of it. For you are the universe experiencing itself.
13
Life is good. For you get to be the Universe experiencing itself.
Even when you have a bad day, enjoy it- it is much more meaningful than being dead.
14
Reincarnation, and heaven and hell are fundamentally the same idea, told in different ways.
Will you act according to your God’s ideals in this life,
so that what comes next will be better?
15
Short term gratification is not a good long term strategy.
16
Bitcoin is the capitalization of markets’ trust in the SHA256 algorithm.
17
The more you explore something, the smaller it becomes.
