An Idea

[N0B0DY]

Yes I remember you, Bob, you're one of my favorite writers.

I've had a few experiences myself, but liken the void to the non-existent means of transcending all phenomena and phenomenal experiences, similar to the quantum jumps you propose in your book that require no transitional spacetime.

Have you transcended the void, and can you expound upon what exactly is directly experienced?

Hi Bob;

I too had an OBE where i reached a state that I call the " I AM " Awareness. It was beyond our physical reality but not quite to the "Void", "Wuji State" and /or "Nirvania". I believe I was approaching that state but panicked when I began losing Awareness.

I also would be most interested in any experiences you may wish to share.

My Idea covers the range from strings to man.
From western physics to eastern philosophy to God.
I was trying to cover everything but have been accused of overreaching.

So your comments are always welcome here, as with anyone else.

I did not cover gravity which is necessary for a TOE.
I was informed that my Idea is more of a GUT. So any help regarding a reconciliation with gravity would be appreciated.

Best to all,

Pat

A 4th DIMENSIONAL VENN DIAGRAM
( with 16 areas

















The above is a representation of a 4th dimensional Venn diagram, that has 16 areas. This would be similar to the hypercube that has 16 points.

A regular cube has 8 points, and a regular Venn Diagram has 8 areas.

One of the unique things of this Diagram is that if you were to color all positive numbers black you would have the Yang symbol of the Yin/Yang Diagram or the diagram of the TAO.

Perhaps the reader could find other things represented in it.

I did not add color or the I Ching binary symbols to it.

Here is another without the 8th area overlapping:

God smiles unto Himself, He knows; It is the other-way around!

Here's an idea!

"If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now."
Marcus Aurelius Antonitus
Roman Emperor 160 - 180 AD

[Drifter]

And another;
"There is no chaos in the world, except that which your mind creates."

"Give up the desire for pleasure and you will not even know pain."

"For me the moment of death will be a moment of jubilation, not of fear.
I cried when I was born and I shall die laughing."

"Fear and greed cause the misuse of the mind.
The right use of mind is in service of love, of life, of truth, of beauty."

"The very search for pleasure is the cause of pain."

"Seeking out causes, is a pastime of the mind. There are is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause." -Sri Nizargadatta Maharaj Twentieth Century Illiterate Indian Farmer and Sage who baffled the "educated" wise-man with His Knowledge and Insight.

I did as the Emperor commanded, and wiped judgement from my mind.
Now I can see nature's truth of equal or one.
Now I nust practice the truth I see.
Now is the time of truth!

In the second century the Romans finally felt secure enough to tolerate diversity and Rome withnessed the proliferation of a bewildering variety of cults and philosophies. The city became a magnet for wandering prophets from all over the Near East. There was money to be made out of the mysteries and soon satires of wanderig miracle-workers making a mint out of the gullible became a popular literary genre.

Strange beliefs and exotic religions were no longer the preserve of the poor. Just as Hollywood stars today traipse from one new cult to another in search of somethig more than money and fame, so rich Romans also liked to spend their time dabbling in the mystery religions of the mystic East. Wealthy aristocrats, politicians and even emporers became initiates of cvarious cults of the dying and resurrected Godman. Mark Anthony chose Dionysus as his patron deity. Claudius favoured Attis. Vespasian worshipped Serapis. Domitian honoured Osiris. Even a god worshipped by the Persians, Romes bitter enemies found imperial favour when emporer Commodus was initeiated into the Mysteries of Mithras.
Many gnostic masters moved to Rome in the middle of the second century to set up schools of philosophy.

Literalist Christianity was just another minor cult competing for adherents in the over crowded marketplace. But it came up with a new marketing angle that gave it an edge over the other cults of the dying and resurrecting Godman. It claimed that while the pagan stories were just myths, Jesus had actually come and lived out these myths in the flesh. The son of God, so lovingly described by the pagan philosophers, and the Messaia, so desperately awaited b the Jews, had incarnated in one man, in one place, at one time. This was a revoltionary new claim.

Pagans, of course, continued to complain that that the Jesus story had been plagiarized from pagan myths, but this only drove the Literalists to rebut such charges by fleshing out the narrative of the Jesus story with more and more psuedo-historical details. Of course it helped that there was of knowing what had really taken place in Jerusalem more than a century and a half ago. Jerusalem was an insignificant place a long way from Rome. No one could check out the Literalists' wild claims against the facts on the ground, because the ground had been utterly razzed. Just a few before the middle of the second century the city of Jerusalem had been re-founded as a Roman city from which the Jews were forbidden on pain of death.

Literalist do all they can to portray the Gnostics as fringe heretics and themselves as the Catholic, or 'universal' Church, but this is actually a complete reversal of the truth, For the first three centuries CE Literalist Christianity was the fringe sect and Gnostic Christianity was far more popular, which is why Literalists spent somuch time attacking gnostics, And why Gnostics could rarely be bothered to fight back.
In Egypt, Syria and Asia Minor, the first Christians we know of were all Gnostics. In 110 CE Carpocrates founded a Gnostic sect in Alexandria. Around 120 CE, Cerinthus was writing in the city of Ephesus. Valentinus studied in Alexandria before goin to Rome in 136 CE to set up his school. In 144 Marcion, who already had tousands of followers in the East. also cane to Rome, followed in 150 by Marcus. By the third century Mani had founded a Gnostic church whose influence would eventually reach from Spain in the West to China in the East.

The message/admonition has always been the same. "Man, Know Thy Self!
