Spruce: "It" thrives on misery and discord, eats it like manna. No, the experience has not been played out. As long as there is suffering it will feed.

The bottom bottom line is.....Truths purpose is to”be what it will be”what it ISN”T is dogmatic religious theology or solipsist “spiritual" philosophy or mystic magic….it’s a toss up to which is the most mundane and meaningless but since the zeitgeist is mystic religion I’m going with mystic theology.I am positive the creator God could careless about that crap also because they are creating art not espousing false theories about nothing(religion).
Rex282: The “fact” is EVERYTHING is created by and through math.It is the creators “medium”.NOT “magic” mysticism or religious spiritualism.That's all “words” in someones mind they made into an image through the figment of their imagination of something that doesn’t exist....They may as well espouse a theory for the taste of purple…........purple rain, purple rain……dream on.
I do not understand why our creator is dragging its feet regarding "disclosure" (understanding all along this is a game).
We've reached a very interesting point in human history. The incredible advances in science are veering us harder and harder towards the metaphysical regardless of how much the "hard science" luddites are trying to push it back. No matter, the truth will wash over them (or run them over in the street) regardless. Reality has a habit of doing that. And the pace is accelerating.
I actually agree with you in part, that when Jesus said born again he meant spiritually in this instance, but the spiritual birth he mentioned also has a physical counterparthat must also happen (everyone must be born physically before they can be born spiritually), which is why he states that you must be born of water and Spirit because both are inevitable. In this instance though he is only speaking of the spiritual rebirth to Nicodimus, he only touches on the physical by mentioning water. It's kinda like he was telling Nicodimus that you must be born both physically and spiritually but since you have already been born physically here is the spiritual aspect of the teaching, he then goes on to describe the Spirit as blowing where it pleasrs like wind. He was obviously describing the Spirit as wind in my opinion otherwise why would he be saying those who are born of the Spirit blow here and there like wind?

Lots of speculation going on there.. as if you know what is the case.
Can't say I haven't thought something similar, though not exactly what you said.

I bought tickets to the freak show so I'm just waiting for people to realize it. Some of the scariest things you can be in this world is not to be afraid of dying.
I just love seeing edifices being patched up by it's sufferers and torn down by it's creators. Love watching corruption, I'm an entropy fan. The elite want an end game and the serfs want it to continue. World of opposites. No contract is complete without the opposite being accomplished. The suffering of one leaves the suffering of the other to be desired, so mesmerizing. That means it' their turn now.

I am glad you at the time could reason pragmatically that God was 'indistinct'/hiding from itself/or not in knowing (to be kind) regarding its potential sexuality. The thing never thinks these things through--just throws the ideas out for us to tussle with.

If a 'born again' experience works why not; it only needs to fit that individuals progress soulwise (like a key turning the tumblers in a lock), any method that works is correct.

Oh, I think there was a plan behind this one, especially when the same voice starts speaking a verse from the gospel of Thomas, some 7 to 8 years later before I had even heard of the book…And for the record, I’ve only heard the voice twice, in my entire life…
It was just another one of those nuggets thrown my way, including people I was guided too online/real life, and visions given etc…which led too some of the truths, I now hold…

You, are not the “most people”, I was referring too…how could you be…
As for the rest, it’s more like a game of snakes and ladders, played out in a 3 dimensional chessboard (8 cubed), although it appears that sometimes you have to go backwards in order to go forwards; those slippery snakes, aren’t always as bad as they look…

I’m unhappy with the natural assumption, that randomness somehow automatically equals a “dead universe” (until its up and running)…It seems to me that only things that displays true randomness, are things that are alive, like us humans.
Perhaps the universe also displays randomness, because it’s alive too. Of course, this is not how the word randomness, is generally applied to the universe, in our everyday modern contexts. Also this Chaos you speak of, may only appear to be Chaos from our lower perspective; perhaps from a higher up understanding, it’s classified as “Beautiful Order”…

Thanks; and yes; I came to this understanding about 2 years back…long before this conversation ever took place…

But you are a teacher, so is everyone else…When you’re playing guitar people are learning from your moves, ( just by watching)…same applies when your roller blading down the street ,or packing your car, or writing something on ATS, people are learning from you, even though your not actually verbally teaching them etc…
In fact, even when you do something wrong/bad, other people are learning from it, so your still teaching them, in an round about way…hopefully they are good students and recognise why it’s wrong etc…and I’m not singling you out here, this applies to everyone…
I truly believe everyone is a student and a teacher; this is why my glass is always half full!!!

I personally think, it’s about moving into other types of (“higher” but not necessarily the right word) experiences, but that one has to pass certain test criteria first, (here on Earth or/and elsewhere) before these other states can be entered into; sort of like a fail safe, which couldn’t be faked by any individual…

“knew all that is or ever was”, wouldn’t that kind make him, the you know who…?
Here’s a question for ya to think about, how can any entity know everything, if the universe is infinite and expanding…?

So my question still stands, how can an entity know everything in an expanding universe, in other words, it can’t know everything until/before it happens, or can/does it…???

Yes, the entity in question, would know the universal workings, but he/IT wouldn’t know everything, until it had happened…i.e. it would expand into the knowledge, but only after the fact…
This is what my question is all about if the entity is only expanding with it, then it doesn’t know everything, before it happens…or does it…?

To answer that question, imagine a substance that is able to contract and expand, it is always the same substance whether in a state of contraction or expansion,
Originally posted by theabsolutetruth
the fact that humanity has hypothesised the expansion from observation is irrelevant as it is a glimpse of the 'now' rather than the whole,

and it could be a similar situation that humanity is experiencing things in some sort of dimensional slow motion.
