    Re: Is there a Supernatural Nature, or a Natural Nature?

    It might be an electrified fence.

    What would be some of the completely natural reasons for those wishing for the supernatural?

    The unknown. It is natural to contemplate the unknown and the concept of God is 'a natural' when it comes to contemplate-ability, lol. What a person attributes to the concept of God is only natural to the point that the brain works the way it does. Everyone's concept of God is different. If you go by that rule then seeking out what other people's concepts are is a useful learning experience.

    It might not be just one fence. There could be an incorrect assumption that there's only a single timeline that creates the present.

    Is charity valuable? It depends upon the circumstances. Giving money to an alcoholic could be a disservice, then again things could still work out ok ... it's not 100% guaranteed that such would be the case.

    To me, if everything was entirely determined by a single set of rules, there should have infinite visibility. Finite visibility means there's a causal disconnection and only a finite component is determined by a single set of relationships.

    One way of looking at growth of such a finite system would be as an integration of a potentially infinite number of timelines extending beyond visibility, each determined by its own specific set of rules - the finite present is the intersection of these.

    One has ones own version of what's true but that can also be an intersecting subset for other things. If we're all on the same island in the middle of an ocean, it doesn't mean everything sailed the same direction to reach it.

    We could look at a prism and assume it splits white light into colors, but you can look at it the other way as integrating multiple shades into a single white. If you could only see things at the intersection, it might seem like it was a single white beam, but that doesn't mean it "externally" exists in that same manner (I'm referring to "external" similar to the unknowns in terms of energetic/creative influences over time)



    Or another way of representing this

    There are no rules in the land of the law of no laws of cause.

    Everything happens everywhere, all of the time.

    Everything goes through its paces apace, throughout space.

    This should relieve some worries.
