Life seems scripted. For instance, I was reading this quote by Kelly Jones. In the background, random music was playing which was completely fitting.
Now the profoundness of the music added to her statement. Due to continuous coincidence of an epic nature, this leads me to believe that life is scripted, whether by an unconscious Mother God Spirit or a Masculine Conscious Meaning Making God, who gives meaning to our lives by scripting events in a pallatable manner. Life is not random, I mean I am on a philosophy boards and I was not born as a fish on the bottom of the ocean, even though the probabilty is like 0.0000001 i would be born into a philosophy boards and not as some random lifeform.
But I dont believe all things are meaning making, and reification is not always bogus. Like, existence is too complex to be listed in every detail, so we reify what our personality is into words, the easiest way to do it is through cartoon characters, they can hold the biggest amount of data, except for Looney Tunes, beecause most of those characters dont have much depth except for Bugs Bunny. Still holds more depth than say, a paragraph full of adjectives. As for meaning making I think the meaning of life is to enjoy it, so if you do things that will ultimately making life enjoyable, you are doing good, and if ultimately what you are doing is not going to make life good for you 1 minute or 1 hour or 100 or 1000 years from now, it is doing bad. Now you might be like the dasein guy and want to pussy out afraid that stepping on one bug will ruin the cosmic timeline, but are we must not pussy out lie that. We are aided by the cosmic spirit, living out our scripted lives, so lets do this, lets change things, forever.
We are meant to see things the way we do, this is our level of awareness, this is consciousness, things are not blurred, they are focused. We are meant to see the ring of fire, not just the fire. Its how god wanted it. With more complexity time slows down, time is slowing down and waiting for your move, waiting for the docking procedure until it mates with the station. What will your move be?
Reminds me of a statement I read a few years ago …
The language of God is spoken to us through the experiences of our lives.
Any connection … or am I out in left field … all alone again
Also reminds me of another heart warming thought … just a thought … no more …
It’s a story about a woman who was having a very difficult time … she tried everything to find a way out of her horrible situation … the ground was literally shaking beneath her feet. Finally, in desperation … not faith … she turned to God for help … only to find that it was God that was shaking the ground beneath her feet.
Seems like God is George Lucas, because life seems to be very starwars themed. If god is the guy behind the curtains giving us meaning and entertainment to our lives, then he would have created the George Lucas guy in his image, therefore God probably resembles George Lucas.
Replace Ultimate Reality/Nirvana/God with “The Force” etc. and the Jedi with the “Genius Forums” etc
As far as the shaking lady, sometimes I wonder if the pain in my life is when God got lazy with the script, and could figure out no other way to entertain me other than torture.
Here’s something someone wrote that may speak to your question

So, the lady is God, by being consciously aware of her own existence, and aware of her own suffering, she is causing her own suffering.
My theory is different, mine is 2 Gods, God of the Past God of the Future. God of the Past is mother nature, feminity, unconsciousness. God of the Future is a becoming, complexity, in order to mate with its female self (they are both the same person, just of different timezones.)
The other version of this is the 2 Herm Gods, God of the Future is a herm and the god behind the curtains, who is scripting our lives, is a herm, it is a labor of love, but the god behind the curtains is unconscious, while I am conscious of his works.
… yes I agree … my peasant mind is easily confused.
Let me try to illustrate my confusion …
In your initial post you wrote … “We are meant to see things the way we do, this is our level of awareness, this is consciousness”
In my attempts to understand you I expanded your use of the verb “to see” to include … at least symbolically … all our sense perceptors … intuition included.
From this perspective it seems you are at least hinting at some “other” controlling what we “see” … no?
Maybe it’s more of the two horse imagery I shared with you earlier?
Basically, in many of my posts there is a metaphor and multiple meaning, sometimes I take things for granted and expect others to get the implicit subtext, for instance when I say see I could mean all 5 senses, but seeing seems to be the primary sense so I just say that one because its so prominent.
In this instance, its mostly talking about visual, because thats mostly what the consciousness discussions are centered around in Genius forums, visual zoomifications about whether fires are more so atoms or more so fire rings. Sound seems to be a singular waveform, more spiritual and thus harder to quantify in words. Pain is all but elusive, even the Great Trixie hasn’t really developed a conclusive explanation for it yet. So visual is one of the easiest senses to quantify, and thus it is used more often in communication.
God in this instance, might not be incharge of every minor detail, but design a procedural algorithm of some sort in which he only makes minor alterations along the way. What is the two horse thing again? I forget things.
So it is the two horse imagery … the one representing what you label “God of the Past” … the other representing what you label “God of the Future”
By straddling these two “horses” … one of your feet planted on the back of one … and your other foot planted on the back of the other … you are working hard to keep them in synch as they race towards the finish line.
My body is not so nimble … I’m not up to the task.
So I have sex with horses or something? Im confused.
The whole notion of this topic is not only the free will doesnt exist, but also that no work needs to be done, we are basically carried by Gods hand. Only as part of the climax would he demand us to do such straddling?
The metaphor you made, would implie that we are the main god, keeping the realities in check, moderating them, but we have no free will, and limited temporal awareness, therefore we are slaves to a hidden god, we must submit and obey to him.
We hear voices in our head, telling us what to do, this is the voice of the hidden god, we must simply obey. Ie. the secret of stanford pines genius, is that he is no genius, he just obeys the voices in his head.
“As a Bodhisattva in training you are not allowed to injure me unless I injure you first.”
You wrote … “So I have sex with horses or something? Im confused.”
I feel offended … OK I didn’t paint a very clear picture of the imagery in my head with the words I chose to write … I won’t try again
“The whole notion of this topic is not only the free will doesnt exist, but also that no work needs to be done, we are basically carried by Gods hand.”
I couldn’t agree more … IMHO … your words are an eloquent explanation of the Chinese philosophy of WU Wei … literally translated as “take no action”
Not my fault if you get offended at god’s gifts, therefore the injury is not of my doing, and since it is a gift, no injury has taken place.
Wu Tang theory also has a double meaning, that action should be taken, but only after clarity is reached, there is no hurry. and, god will tell you the voices and manipulate you into obeying him, so you needent worry about it. on the other hand, you also help god, so you need to think about the future, plan things, so that he can be assisted. genius is assistance, datapooling, people rat on groupthink, but groupthink is like a datapool, connecting two palm pilots together, solitude is overrated, i mean here we are on internet forums piggybacking on each other over philosophical things, which is a good thing.
I see the God of the Past symbolizing those people who cling to the past … theologically and spiritually. By clinging to the past their consciousness has no space for the ‘stuff’ from the God of the Future.
For me, it’s analogous to St Augustine’s comments on conversation. Something to the effect … the sound of each word we utter in conversation must die … fade away … in order to give birth to the sound of the ensuing word.
Opponents might argue that “God” brooks no competition … he doesn’t like being the loudest voice in the marketplace.
… enter the see-saw effect of the cross cut saw. People who believe in the merit of solitude … after a period of solitude come to the marketplace and share their findings … or being unable to tolerate the ‘noise’ of the marketplace … they share their stuff in writing. Biblically … Jesus often went up the mountain to pray … he went into solitude after sharing to get some more new stuff.
Doesn’t one of the tenets of Judaic ‘cabala’ speak of the same notion … something to the effect … the tap will be turned off if you don’t share" ?
Thats not who it represents. Seems like the people who you refer are absurd minded, excessive estrogen and xenophobic, so they immediately reject any new stimulation which is not exactly in accordance with their past expectations.
This is the unconscious God, it is feminine because it is unconscious, but it is not xenophobic, it is a creator which constantly spawns new things. It may be xenophobic in relation to other Gods or God like things or God like data things, but to us it has no trouble injecting meaning and new things into the scripts of our lives.
They say that absolute truth is true in all worlds, but what about a world that is not like any other worlds? Maybe this life is only one artistic subset of what gods can do, maybe there are a multitude of things which are not things, which gods can do, which is indescribable with words and ignores all absolute truths, such as visual senses and mathematics, a world which is not a world, neither human nor animal, something beyond our comprehension.
Now for those of you who dont believe in God, you have to abandon your notions that God doesnt exist and just roll with it, if you are to enjoy the beauty of my theories.
