  1. But aren't time and space essentially the same thing according to the post-Einstein view of physics?
  2. If I need to earn a PHD in math before I can understand this thread then I am sorry to say this conversation is over. If you can put these ideas into your own words it might help.
  3. And if you are using the 720 degree spin and Klein Bottle as an example of how multiple frequencies can occupy the same point and thus give the illusion of three dimensional space then that is cool too. Is this what you are saying?
  4. To continue, I could understand if you posit that "non local awareness" is a de-facto proof that the universe is a single point, since all awareness is local and "non-local" awareness is an illusion of sorts. If that is where you are going then that makes sense.
  5. And this is where I get lost. I think "nonlocal" means not-local, i.e. elsewhere. For example "non local awareness" means "awareness of something that is not-local." "Noncommutative" means not-cummutative. "Commutative" means that the order of operations does not matter, e.g. A x B = B x A. Non commutative means that the order DOES matter. So how do you equate non local with non dual?
  6. I admit I have a layman's interest in quantum physics and find the subject fascinating. That said, I have tried very hard to make sense of what is presented here and have failed. Can someone give me the "Cliff's Notes" version of this? How does any of this have to do with non duality?
  7. Assuming I understand you, "it" is a form of "inner energy" brought about by "quantum phenomena" as it emerges from a "non-commutative phase space." Is this the essence of what you are saying?
  8. What is "it", and what is it being brought back to symmetry with?
  9. Can you add NO to my name

    I will laugh and laugh and laugh if Dawei does this...
  10. What does this have to do with Klein Bottles, Mobius' Strip, 5th dimention, 720 degree spin, or any of the quantum theory information you posted?
  11. Accepting Things as they are...

    I think that accepting things as they are simply means to observe and understand. Observe that each person operates within a world of their own perception bias and not of objective measure. Understand that each person unconsciously applies this perception bias to everything they do. This tells me that you have removed a level of your own perception bias, not unlike how some animals shed their skin when molting. You have awakened to the fact that you had previously accepted the words of "authorities" and now see that these authorities themselves have their own bias. Thus you now suspect their conclusions may not be correct. This is both scary and liberating! It is a conundrum. Many people are dealing with this. You are not alone. The best thing at this time may be to withdraw into yourself. Use this time to go within. Meditate. Pray. Write a book. In the immortal words of King Soloman, "this too shall pass."
  12. @voidisyinyang I'm reading through your posts from the last hour. I can tell you have a ton of information to share but it's really hard to follow. Could you summarize in a paragraph or two the gist of what all these diagrams and scientific drawings mean? I think that will make it much easier to follow. Thanks!
  13. Juicing

    I have never tried to blend nuts. That might be very good. You'll need to get organic nuts. That's not a problem if you have a health co-op in your area that sells bulk food. Nuts will be no problem for a professional quality blender like Vitamix. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
  14. Can someone give a a “Basic intro into magick”

    @Nungali How did you learn so much about what seems such a niche subject? The more I read your posts the more curious I get. Are you Ghandalf come back from across the seas?
  15. I like to watch movies on my PC. Characters race across the screen. There are car chases, epic battles, love and loss! The sound of music, the emotion in the voices make me weep in joy. I know it's all just pixels on a screen and vibrations coursing through a membrane, but I love it just the same.
  16. Psychic Attack

    I wish that I could but I'm not at liberty to discuss other people's experiences without their permission.
  17. Juicing

    Vitamix is indeed a blender. It's a professional grade blender that can even make hot soups if you want it to! Obviously it does not separate the juice from the particulate so it's not technically "juice", but the blender does almost all the work and your stomach doesn't need to do any digestion. The liquid enters your bloodstream almost immediately.
  18. Psychic Attack

    Ed and Lorraine Warren were the real deal. They hunted ghosts before that was even a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_and_Lorraine_Warren They dealt with demonic and otherworldly attacks. Thankfully I have no experience of that. I've only experienced attacks from living people, and not the most disciplined people at that. I do know someone who has experienced attacks from otherworldly beings. It's much more severe, as one would expect. Not nice stuff. Not nice at all.
  19. Can you add NO to my name

    I was hoping you wanted to be called "ONENO." That would be a palindrome...
  20. This line of reasoning can take us to a dark place. For example, what if an 18 year old wants to study Polynesian Dance Theory (I just made this up) in college? That choice will probably not lend itself to a lucrative career. As such that person might end up needing more government assistance than someone who studied engineering. Should we tell this person that they cannot choose that major? Or what if someone chooses to forego college entirely and pursue a career in boxing? Most boxers don't get very far, and the likelihood of health problems in life are higher than average. Do we tell this person he can't box? And what of the person who drinks soda, eats junk food and smokes cigarettes? He'll have health problem for sure! Do we tell him what to eat and that he is not allowed to smoke? I think it does come down to this. I served in the Army too. I was also a soldier. I see both sides of the fence and I choose to err on the side of individual choice.
  21. Why does anyone do anything? You can drive yourself crazy with that question. As for me, I plan to buy a nice black obsidian scrying ball tomorrow to help focus my attention during meditation. I am sure there are plenty of people who would tell me I am wasting my money buying a polished rock and wasting my time sitting alone in the dark. Luckily I don't need a committee to approve either of those choices...
  22. You are correct. No one lives in a vacuum so even if a person makes a choice for himself it still impacts those around him. I fully acknowledge that. So where do we go from here? Do we mandate that all choices a person make be approved via committee before allowed to proceed? That's an option. Do we allow individuals to unilaterally make their own decisions? That's a second option. I don't claim to know what is best at all times. I do however, know that people will make choices, for better or worse, and unless I am given a hell of a good reason to stand in someone's way I choose to let them live.
  23. There is a term for this. It is called "intersectionality." This is the reason why feminists rally alongside Palestinians, and why LGBT walk alongside global warming alarmists. It's all part of the greater leftist movement. You are absolutely right. Search YouTube for someone called Blair White if you want to learn more about the damage that the left is causing the LGBT community.
