Philosophical discussion of “reality” – is it real? Or is it perhaps Super Real? Surrealistically speaking.

OK … now we’re getting into numbers that not even the US govt would understand.  And then we begin to add in the trillions of bugs and other living beings that exist on this and other planets.  If something is alive is it not putting out a signal, or message, or some form of speech to those of its own species, possibly others?  Even a tree has thoughts.  Have you ever rested up against a tree and not felt the life force within?  Did you get the feeling that the tree was communicating with you but you either didn’t speak tree, or you had no program that covered it, or you felt stupid, or you just relaxed and felt the positive energy the tree was attempting to give?

And then ponder this.  As you begin to shrink in size you see how small things can get, all the way down to microbes, and then cells, and then you begin to go really small.  I mean like out to the end of our galaxy … and back … small to the power of infinity plus infinity. 

Now go the opposite direction and imagine Men in Black where the camera fades from the Earth and retracts into space and soon you see that we are a marble in someones sack of marbles.  Pretty cosmic thought yes?  Well, what if we were not a marble in a sack but a grain of sand on a beach in the “Universal Gobi Desert”?  And this is just one of those deserts … there are many, many more, to the infinite power etc.

And to think that there used to be a time when these thoughts were totally unimaginable.  Just think, with technology on the rise, isn’t it possible that there will be a time not so distant in which we will consider this discussion and this paper as being infantile and so far below the bar that people of the future will not even begin to fathom its simplicity?

Just imagine how many new universes have opened up since I began writing this and you, or I, began reading this.  Does a whole new beach pop up at one sitting?

I will leave you with this thought for now but I will check in with you on Monday after the 4th of July holiday to see how you are doing with this. 

Our next assignment will involve being able to sense the thoughts and feelings of all living beings, first on this planet and then on the 53 closest from that.  It will be fun.  Have you ever felt the thrill of a sea squirrel when it first wakes up and stretches?  You will …. yes ….. YOU WILL!

Happy Independence Day … Keep Your Reality Reasonably Safe and Just a Tad Beyond Sane … it’s the only way … TO BE!

I AM

    Sorry to hear about your ailment, glad it is better.

    I love it. It kind of opened up this whole new perceptions of my surroundings. Especially the day-dreaming part. I get bored and often slip in to a day-dream. So the idea that these day-dreams I have at some point become conscience is pretty cosmic.

    That scene in ‘The Men in Black’ was very mind bending. I often think about how lifeforms outside our planet probably think with full brain capacity. No need for spoken language they can perceive the thought of another. There is no telling what we can mentally achieve as our genus Homo has only been around for 6 million years, and we as homo sapiens have been around roughly 500,000 years. We ourselves have yet to reach our full potential, we are still evolving. Although, I should say, there is no telling what we could have accomplished. Even with all our efforts it is still doubtful that we can turn this destructive tide.

    “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” — Albert Einstein

    Einstein knew we would destroy ourselves with war, but I wonder if he knew we would also destroy ourselves with greed, pollution, and over consumption.

    Very good post.
