Infinity as a proof for immortality
(Video starts with the picture of a burger) — FalseIdentity
If something is too many things then it seems to be nothing to us. This happens because objects with multiple identities are information overflow to us. Imagine for example a painter that has mixed all colors there are. This gives no picture you can make sense of, it simply gives black. Only when you subtract at least one color you can see something. And this is the same what our mind does with the source mind: it subtracts and destroys large parts of it, to be able to perceive and feel whatever remains. This will, by the way, be a pure problem of human perspective. Of course just because we refuse to see the source mind this does not mean it's gone.
Not only does everything happen in God's mind eternally it happens at the same time as well. So the source mind does clearly not obey the laws of human logic. It doesn't have to think this way because the source mind is so smart that he can handle multiple realities at once. But we can't do that. How does destructive thinking create our understandable reality?
Take this picture as an example: In the source mind, it is an infinite number of pictures. We just through a collective vote agreed that this is the only one that is allowed to stay real FOR US. Yes, we might decide in a vote together what's real for us and what's not. We just do this voting subconsciously, invisibly. Or as another example think about the music you are listening to: if you can hear this sound then an infinitely large number of songs and noises that exist elsewhere had to be shut off to make the melody understandable. Music is like a hole in more music. — FalseIdentity
But you surely heard that our body gives us signals that shall enhance our genetic survival and the numbers of our offspring. This signals, for example, happiness and lust have the same effect as rewarding us for creating new forms and new diversity. It's like we can already feel eternity for a short moment. So all our suffering is in reality connected to the fact that we are just a splinter of god, not whole anymore. When evil like in this case is not something but the lack of something it's called privatio bono. Privatio Bono is literally the privation of the good. The concept is used as a powerful defense against the problem of evil — FalseIdentity
And the idea of infinite worlds can be used to make sense of the observer effect, a quantum physics problem that still continues to baffle us all. — FalseIdentity
Of course, there are those nasty intellectually picky people that doubt things can magically appear out of nowhere. A further disadvantage of the theory is that if things can come from nowhere then maybe they can go back to nowhere too. — FalseIdentity
To explain this better let's first imagine that mind and matter are in reality the same. Then become aware that mind and imagination are infinite. If the world is made up of just thought there is nothing like non-thought and hence a true void is impossible.
To understand this better imagine a mind containing every world you can dream of. And not just as thought but as real matter like you know it. — FalseIdentity
How do we get this theory? What's the basis of it? So far there's nothing in here that backs up mind=matter, so this comes off as some kind of fantasy origin story.Our theory is that directly before the big bang the source mind, God's mind voluntarily reduced and simplified itself. It shrank to the most simple and most easily understandable form available: a point. Call what remains a splinter of god. It is a catastrophe because the splinter lacks almost all of God's infinitely rich thoughts and complexity. — FalseIdentity
The burger is a joke about how materialism would see the origin of mind. But this is not our take on it. I thank you for your critique and will introduce the word modern materialism in the connection with the burger to make the distinction more clear. Our own point of view is that the world is more a form of idealistic monism. Since materialism and idealism are both forms of monism there was potential for confusion here, I haven't thought about it. — FalseIdentity
The non-logic part of yourself is you but in a slightly different version. If your nonlogic alter ego came before your empirically verifiable embodiment, then it can not be held against your predecessor that he had no cause. Why not? Because at the time where this part of you already existed there did not yet exist causes. Causes and logic were something that you created — FalseIdentity
The Egyptians called it the nun. The nun is a kind of bottomless ocean of disorder and chaos which gave rise to everything that has form. If something came before causes it has no cause in itself and hence must have been there eternally. That Münchausens Trilema either ends you in infinite loops of circular reasoning or that it directly catapults you into the infinite past of the eternal regress is hence good evidence for this type of eternity. And an eternal mind is the same thing as an immortal mind. — FalseIdentity
A second hint for the existence of the nun comes from the mathematical unsolvability of Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Gödles thought experiment shows that any attempt to define a clear and complete mathematical logic will again lead to an unsolvable infinite regress. Math can not include the unlogic, but because the unlogic is true, math will always remain incomplete. — FalseIdentity
What will it feel like when you die? That can not be understood through words, because words are part of our destructive human logic. But picture it this way: Everything you experience is like a hole in the whole of the source mind. One can not destroy a hole, one can just fill it. Depending on how far this hole will fill you will either become one with the universe or you will become one with the even greater mind of god. If you become god then all feelings of want and sadness will have gone since you are complete again. If you become just the universe such negative feelings will at least greatly reduce as you gained a lot of richness and diversity in the process of blending with everything around you. There is however a third option, the Christian option. We will discuss this option in relation to heaven and the tree of knowledge. Because remember there is a holy book that always warned us that there could be something lethal about our desire for logic, understanding, and control. And this is the book of genesis. Is there a way back to the garden of Eden, if we give up the desire to understand and control god's mind? — FalseIdentity
What I don't agree with is the logic and causes are something that we created just to understand the reality that we can perceive. I think that causes and logic should originate from non-logic and the non-causal because if the source mind contains everything then the knowledge to apply logic and causality should also be in there.@I love Chom-choms
The wife wishes that the house burns down. The father wants the house to stay. If both could make events as arbitrarily happen as the universal mind the wife would travel into a reality where the house is no more and the husband would travel into a reality where the house still stands. Both would be in different realities now and hence could not meet each other anymore. They would as well have no clue to where their partner would wish to be next so this separation might well be final. This is why we need this voting mechanism that not all realities we wish for come true at the same time. And this voting mechanism at the same time creates the logic of causality that connects us and holds us together from the past over the now to the future. — FalseIdentity
Please don't do that. I am a rather shy person.In a certain sense, you helped to author the video - with all the work that goes into the review - so you would be our VIP :) I guess the video will be as usually watched by 3 philosophy nerds only but the least I could do is give a honorable mention to you and Hermeticus (only if you like of course). — FalseIdentity
@I love Chom-chomsPlease don't do that. I am a rather shy person.
@I love Chom-chomsOur comprehension of reality seems so shallow if what you are saying is actually true
