If you believe your senses and your contemplation are accurately perceiving things as the actually exist than you will forever be confounded by what is actually Real.
Don't confuse yourself. What is true is that REALITY does not require ANYTHING of the unreal me to be True. Reality is the only thing that is Real and True. It is complete and whole.
Prove time exists.

The way i can tell is by the way i feel now compared to before. Why do you think i am here? It is to pass on the good news. You do not need to suffer, no one does. I come to show that it is possible and i come across so much hate on this site.
I seen it before i knew words for it. It was only when i found videos on youtube that told of what i knew that i even had names for what happened here.edit on 18-6-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

Most people refer to God as "Being". Everything is always in motion, even when it "appears" to just be staying "still". The atoms are still in motion and even at absolute zero degrees temperature, the waves of potential energy are still changing.
Everything goes back to "motion", "verb", or "action". Things are always changing form and the form is in the state of "being", "existing". Everything is movement.
Notice all of the word connected with "mov-/mot-" (movement)....
movement, motion, motivation, motive...
Movement is life. According to the Romans, everything has Anima (Soul), this is the same word in Animate, or Animation, which is movement.
When a circumstance moves you into taking an action, this is "motivation". It "moves" you. When someone is "moved" into an action, that causes another "motivation" (movement).
movement / motion / motivation is the actual force of life that most do not understand.
Yes, everything just "IS", however, what "IS"? Motion, to be and to exist is a motion as well. The nature of reality is the movement-motion-existence.

part of this idea is the universe exists in the way that it does because all of the energy that exists in the universe can not fit in one point,,,, so it spreads out into the most comfortable design (:puz a path of balance and least resistance,,, and cause and effect,, and spacing,, and opposite,, and mathematical in size and mass, and force,, and scale,,,, it all meshes together .......

the whole of the body......... as one,,,,,,,, exists in a space.........
the whole of the universe....... as one...... exists in a space........
the whole of the body has points of space within it,,,,,, from your front side to your back side,,,,, how many times can you measure a space of half that distance....... as you get smaller,,,, whats the smallest you can get,,, those small particles are small because there is almost infinite amount of space in even the smallest distances,,,,, even though it may be the smallest quantities of space.......
^^^^
same for the universe.....

While our perceptions of these things may be illusory (I prefer "innately limited"), what they are perceiving exists outside of the senses. Now, to make sense of this (not that that is a prerequisite, obviously), then these things that are perceived exist physically.
I may be misunderstanding, but are you suggesting that "things" are only given physicality through our senses. I tend to feel that our senses merely "make sense" (get it? ) of the physicality that surrounds us.
Don't confuse yourself. What is true is that REALITY does not require ANYTHING of the unreal me to be True. Reality is the only thing that is Real and True. It is complete and whole.
In your perspective, how are things complete and whole if we deny part of "What Is," even if that part is a limited view of what surrounds us. It would seem our perspective is a part of "What Is." Is a fish not part of What Is, simply because they never leave the water?
Prove time exists.
Time can be seen, in one way, as the relative movement between two physical boundaries/bodies. That doesnt mean it is static, but relative. The human context of this movement is innately limited, however, the idea persists throughout the physical universe and can be used to predict cycles in their relative field of influence. When we introduce movement, we introduce time. If you can move your arm, time exists as a relevant function. This is actually why it seems to be such an anomaly that two particles can exist in the same place at once(sic). I do not feel it is out of the realm of possibility that what we are looking at in the quantum realm is not affected by time, though our perception of it most certainly is. This would suggest that some parts of the universe are affected by movement/time and others are not. Of course, that is about as brief of a summary of the phenomena as one can muster! This idea alone tends to negate the OP, though it does not render either perspective less valid. We are all learning, neh?

I feel like I should be insulted, but Im not really sure..
Either way, as you wish. If you ever change your mind, that door is always open.

I GET that saying "it's not real" is unsatisfactory and their is a defense that it's a juvenile and stupid idea. But look around at what those on the very edge of quantum science are now saying.. look at what every gnostic tradition has said all along.

I have no clue if they were created first,,, or by default of the presence of all the energy in one place ( like there was only one thing that could transpire from that point, and it did in the way it only could)
[snip]
what was the first.....
of course we should try to figure it out,,, since trying to figure out fire and how to build a better house and catch an animal more efficiently or intelligence and potential has been growing,,,, science will pave the way to where ever it is we are headed ...... I think humans were created in the creators image,,,, or the image of creation,, with the ability to create........ look at all humans have created in their own image,,, to their standards and likings and comforts....... i wouldnt have minded living in a tribe thousands of years ago, a simple life of enjoying friends, family, lover, and community,,,,, i wouldnt mind living in the potential future of our human race,, a thousand or million years in the future,,,,, what we will be creating for ourselves,,, what life would consist of,,,, what our purpose would be,,,, what we will be able to know and do...... and i dont mind living today,,,,,,
its not you its me,,, but at this point i can hardly think about this^^^
what would be an example of a "thing" not moving?
