What does symmetry imply about our significance in eternity?

 

Part II of II

...Others would have had no awareness of your existence.

 

But to yourself, there would be no doubt of your existence. If you stubbed your toe, you would feel pain. If you basked in the warm sun, you would feel warmth.

 

As you gazed into the night sky and saw the twinkling stars, you would sense awe.

 

Your awareness would exist.

 

What you experience would exist as awareness.

 

Once your body stopped functioning, the awareness you experienced would still be awareness.

 

Does this awareness become a part of total awareness?

 

If the awareness does not become a part of total awareness – what we call all knowing – then total awareness is not truly total because your awareness is not a part of it.

 

 

If we wish to retain the concept that the Causative Force is omniscient, then we appear to have no choice but to accept the idea that the Causative Force includes you.

 

You are a piece of the Causative Force.

 

The physics of symmetry leave us no understandable choice but to accept the concept of something existing beyond the universe, for the universe appears to be only a temporary state within something much bigger than itself.

 

The only apparent way out of this conclusion would be to reject the idea of symmetry, which science is not willing to do at this point.

What does symmetry imply about our significance in eternity?

 

 

Part I of II

 

Symmetry implies the universe could well have been created from nothing but awareness.

 

As such, it is eternity that is the real essence of what exists – not the temporary state of your physical being.

 

 

There is no doubt you feel pain – physical as well as emotional.

 

There is no doubt you feel love – physical as well as emotional.

 

The point is, however, that without your being capable of having awareness of these events, they would not exist for you.

 

Without awareness, you would not exist.

 

As an example, if your parents were stranded on a deserted island far away from everyone and you were born ten years later, no one would know of your existence but your parents.

 

If they died and you went on to live eighty years before you died, no one but you would be aware of your existence.

What does Homo- have to offer us as individuals?

 

Part II of II

...This is ‘thinking out of the box.’ We appear to be the only life form on earth capable of performing such a task.

 

Leaving our abstractness floating still further away from the circle filled with dots, we see something surrounding the circle, surrounding the universe.

 

We see abstraction bathing the sphere of the universe.

 

Total awareness, omniscience, seems to be the substance within which the universe is floating.

 

Upon closer examination, it appears that bits and pieces of abstraction are confined within the container, the universe.

 

The ability of man, the genus Homo, provides us with the potential to literally ‘think out of the box’ and see the significance of the individual lying outside the universe and in eternity.

 

 

This opens up the concept of the first of three forms of existence.

 

This opens up the concept of the individual.

 

We, the genus Homo, can see the individual as a separate entity, separate even from the Causative Force.

 

Separate not only because it is within the universe while the Causative Force is outside the universe, but separate also because it has its own identity, awareness, uniqueness, and individuality.

 

You exist.

 

You exist as an individual while at the same time being a part of something greater than yourself.

 

The whole is equal to the sum of its parts and you are a part of the whole.

 

While in the universe, you may be temporarily separated from what it is you are a part of, you are a part of it nonetheless and nobody has the power to take that away from you.

What does Homo- have to offer us as individuals?

 

 

Part I of II

 

The genus Homo, man, has a unique ability to think originally.

 

To doso requires one to ‘think out of the box.’

 

 

Take this literally and a simple picture comes into focus.

 

First the dot representing individual awareness becomes visible as one floats backward away from the earth.

 

Floating much further away, a circle, the universe, becomes visible.

 

Many dots, awarenesses, inside the circle become the focal points.

 

An interesting perception becomes evident.

 

The abstract points of individual awareness appear to be confined within a physical container.

 

This physicality, this container, must be suspended within something.

 

To gain a better perspective, float even further away.

 

Still nothing.

 

Keep going, float even further away, still nothing.

 

Your abstraction cannot seem to float outside what the universe is suspended in.

 

We are going to have to apply a slightly different twist to our thinking by stepping out of our awareness and floating above it.
