I have a bunch of random observations/life sayings I have thought of, and wanted to share them, and see what people think about it. Also, just post your own observations on life, the universe, and everything. Anyways, here are mine: |

That is so true. We, as humans, are just carbon-based life forms that have reached sentience, civilized, and made the world to our wants due to our capable anatomy (opposable thumbs, plus upright posture), and our brain capacity. We are no more special than any fish out there, or any one-celled organism, or even a useless piece of rock, and nothing we do matters in the grand scheme of things. At the same time, we have given ourselves a meaning, set ourselves codes to live by, etc., and without that we wouldn't be what we are now. Though it doesn't matter we care because it is in our head. When you think about it, things like greed, power, hate, and love are nothing more than natural traits that most species need to survive, but to us they mean more because our mind makes it so. |

Yeah, PenguinLord13, nice to see someone understands what I was saying |

There's much more to this dense material world. Have you ever heard of String Theory? |
|
I am also interested in how science will "discover" a spiritual universe, if it exists. My point above was that some scientists are indeed looking to explain the phenomena of "consciousness" not as a by-product of matter but as a partner with matter. If such a thing as a spiritual world exists, it must be discovered, like electricity or gravity, rather than invented, like purgatory or needing special permission to enter the afterlife. |
|
You speak as though that were a fact, and yet in the next sentence you use the word "theory." |
|
I took Music Theory in college. I was heartbroken to learn that it's just a theory. I read a book on Color Theory and dang if it wasn't just a theory too! |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
You can change onbody - only yourself, forcing others to adapt and only then you can change others. |

Currently practicing WILD. I quote Kaniaz who said it best: "The point of WILD is to piss me off". Though, I have not given up, far from it.
OMG REALLY?!?! |

There are some arguments perhaps indirectly for. Like people feeling like they feel the presence of dead people. But a soul, especially the eternal (goes to heaven and such) kind of soul, really doesn't make any sense (to me) if held to the light of evolution (of the entire universe). |

Neruo, I don't believe in a soul in the christian sense of it because I believe at any point in our perceptions, be it higher or lower, you are just convoluting your 'self' with distraction, and therein lies the 'why' to existence. I don't think the meaning goes any deeper than that regarding this material world, or any world that follows. But I would hardly find it to be only a cosmic coincidence. My personal reason being, I constantly have these weird intuitions, two minute deja vu's, reading peoples' personalities through their auras, etc. where people around me end up being freaked out and I'm so used to them I just laugh. It just provides me with more and more proof of this just being one big dream. |
