| This has puzzled me for a while as well, as can be seen by a similar thread of mine. I hypothesize of eternal existence without purpose nor reason. An existence that provides the background for reality. Human mind in an attempt to explain the patterns of the world, a pattern born out of evolution in a struggle against increasing disorder, assigns reason and personifies the world, all in the spirit of coming to grips with the system that woke up and is looking at itself.
There can be no beginning, nor can there be an end, as energy (all that is) is not created nor destroyed, but only converted.
Finite consciousness within infinite existence. |
