      Infinity to Zero: Thoughts on Being

      So I don't know what value this thought may have but I do find it fascinating so I thought I would share:

      In the dream world there is infinite possibility of experiences to have. Anything is possible to an overwhelmingly expansive degree. Because of this the probability of any one event happening is infinitely close to zero (One event ÷ Infinite options = Almost Zero). Still this moment is happening before us now.

      From this every moment of being may be a completely random assortment of, uhhh, of what? I don't know. But all that is known fully is the moment we experience now, the moment before this one could have been another wild assortment of a totally different kind within this infinite sea of possibilities. Still we are only conscious of a moment at a time.

      For example being here in this moment, right now, we have ideas and impressions about what is going on in this scenario before us like a painting we are immersed in. Still, just a moment be fore we may have been in a moment vastly different with different impressions and thoughts. It would be as if our being is hopping between moments unawares as we are constantly immersed in the one presented before us. It begs the question, are our experiences truly linear? Or are we Moment Hoppers?



      ehhhh but alas I don't know if there would even be value in this idea as I can not imagine any useful implications. If someone can think of anything cool let me know

      Well, still I can't imagine why this thought would be useful. It makes this moment before me feel so surreal though. Knowing that the here now is infinitely improbable, more unique an experience than a lottery win. This moment before my eyes had absolutely no chance of being yet here it is, staring at me fully present in all its glory. This moment...how?

      Hmm. I don't think it's a probability that we are here. I think it's more explainable by intelligent design. All our past deeds, mistakes and good choices have led us to here. And there is no way out. We are constantly progressing with our choices how our future is shaped. I see enough reason to suggest that our past had shaped our present in the same way. Time is a curious phenomenon that is quantum. Science is making progress here. There is also non-linear time. It's just not found inside a linear timeframe. Atleast I think so.

      Well, I think you can make use of this thought by deciding the next moment. Since you know it can be anything. Why not use it to create who you choose to be, the next highest version of yourself.
