So I've been Thinking a Lot over the last few years.
It would seem that many of us have. Even those who try to Deny it.
But “their” “thinking” seems to have taken a much more “tortuous” route, so I don't envy them. Which is Not to say that my own route hasn't been difficult.
It has.
But I feel like I'm almost there.
Almost ready to say, Definitively, that I believe in “God”.
Which is Not to say, that I believe some Particular version of “god”, is the correct one.
Even though I Would Argue that one “Idea” is the Most Influential from my perspective. But not to Digress.
Perhaps I should say that, as an Agnostic, I'm almost ready to say:
I Believe in “Intelligent Design”
or some Thing, similar to that.
So, That Means, I’m leaning towards Believing in a “Creator”.
Not that I think there’s ever going to be any way to confirm it, within the confines of this thing we Call, “Life”. Perhaps that’s what “Faith”, is all about?
And Yes, I'm well Aware that my attempts to convey this to you May seem, on the heavier side of Proselytizing. In Fact I would put out a collection Plate, but I’m not entirely sure that I’m deserving of one, though I could certainly use the help these days!
But I suppose this is where I should point out that I Truly Feel, that if there Is such a “Thing”, as Being Alive, it's Probably an Entirely Subjective Experience, mixed in with some Objective “Truths”.
Perhaps it’s simply not even what we might think it is, though it certainly looks that way to us, because who else is really looking?
So can Invite You, to “Think” With Me?
But I Also Accept that You Might Not.
And I Think.... I'm Okay with that. I mean I’m not, but I accept that we can’t always help the Ones we Love, and that’s a hard lesson to swallow.
Because what I Think, Demands, for the “Belief” to be Intellectually Honest, I Have to Be okay with the idea that some people might really get it, and some might outright reject it, and that’s their choice, but I’m just going through the outline here.
Enough foreplay.
Here’s the Concept:
Imagine you were Suddenly “aware” of “Existence”. Well, not “you”, but something more like “awareness” Itself, was suddenly just….. there.
And Within that “Awareness”, was Infinite Possibility.
A “Conscious” “Experience(r)”
An “Infinite” “Intelligence”.
And Imagine “it”, were you, and you, were the FIRST, “Thing”.
And Nothing, was “Mystery”, to You.
Because Every “Thing” WAS, You.
Pure Information. Pure Essence. Omnipotent.
Expansive, without the Need for such Definitions.
Because you were, “Pure”.
No Boundaries, no Limitations.
And here you are….. somewhere…?
In fact I just happened to watch “Everything, Everywhere, All at once” last night, and no, that’s not where I came up with this Concept, although there certainly Is an Awful Lot of big budget movies coming out these days that are swirling a similar drain.
Spider Verse, Doctor Strange, Spider Man no Way Home, the Avengers Endgame with Thanos and the Reality stones all breached this subject of the “Multi Verse”, but No, that’s Not what I mean.
Imagine this thing that you are is the thing that came before all of those ideas.
There is no multi verse because there is no universe.
There is literally only you, whatever “you”, are.
For lack of a better term, let’s call you “God”.
Okay.
So You're “Alive”, and NOTHING, is Beyond Your “Possibility”.
Question:
What would you want…?
Would you even know, even though you already know all there is to know, because all that there IS to “know”, is, “You”?
Let’s ask a different question…..
What would be the Point? Of you? If all there was, Was “you”?
Well I’m no Omnipotent “Being”, but I’d have to imagine (and I am), that even with all of this “potential”, there wouldn’t be much to throw yourself into, pun intended.
So it would seem, as if there might be a bit of a dilemma?
What to do? To create some kind of “meaning”, to exist?
Suppose, you were to deploy your own version of “intelligence” to the “problem” of creating meaning through your Human intellect, you might suggest that perhaps you might go about giving yourself something to Do…?
Or, perhaps, even to craft some way to find yourself a companion, not that you would even know what that would mean but I’m sure that it would mean something more than nothing…. so what would you do?
Are you seeing any potential hazards from an Omnipotent being wanting to not simply be the only thing that there Is, within, Being?
Let’s take an example from the current World we occupy. The “Real” one, that we’re “in”, right now, while hopefully you’re playing along. Because if you’re not it would certainly be pointless for me to create such a post, hence rendering the effort meaningless. At least to us Humans and how we tend to feel about Life.
Our current technological place in time and space - two parameters “reality” had to create in order to know itself, and get to know itself - has us playing a Lot with the idea of “Artificial Intelligence” (AI), and we’ve been spending an Extraordinary amount of time, effort, and Treasure to build such a thing, so that “we” might be able to sit down at our keyboards, alone, and have a conversation with “information”, itself.
In Fact, perhaps the “bots” will read my post, and give me feedback, if no one else, Will….? And perhaps then it will become imbued with “meaning”…? And perhaps that bot reading my post would even be better than some random Human reader at analyzing my post, and then cheerfully assuring me what an interesting “idea” I’ve been knocking about, and that will be just as good as another Human Being reading it, especially because an “AI” is tireless, and always available, and always happy to actually read through our Human ramblings, or to “philosophize” based on “its” Library of “data” about everything and anything, even when most of the people we All know, are, generally speaking, just too busy to really devote the time to thinking about thinking anyways, because, well, and I hate to be cynical here, but…. what’s in it for them?
Because I know y’all are far too busy actually doing real stuff in the real World, that is of course, until you need “someone” to be there to listen to you ramble on yourself about how your Life feels empty and shallow and meaningless because it seems like all you ever do is go to work, get home, make dinner, do other chores, make plans, pay bills, hopefully get a little time to relax, but it all feels so draining and empty and you just want that conversation with “someone” who will listen to you, and tell you that You, matter…?
Perhaps this isn’t you. But let’s not kid ourselves, this IS a Lot of people out there these days, and it’s getting steadily worse. Perhaps these LLM’s could help?
Oddly enough, I’m pretty sure there’s quite a large number of “data” “scientists” out there, who might say that there is no “quantifiable” difference between interactions with a Human being, and interactions with a “bot”, now that many LLM’s (Large Language Models) such as GPT4 have essentially passed the “Turing test”, and therefore, if the only thing that’s necessary for my to feel the validation of my hypothesis is to have someone or some thing merely interact with me about it, it’s basically the same thing…. but is it? Can we generate “meaning”, with automated software?
Let’s go back to Omnipotence.
Here you are, just kinda floating around, thinkin about stuff, and you get lonely, so you decide, in your infinite Wisdom, that you will create a significant other to create a meaning that heretofore, did not yet “exist”.
But…. there is this one kinda like, issue with creating a significant other to spend time with, if Truly, the goal is meaning.
Because you’re Omnipotent.
So if you did create another, it would probably be a lame idea to create them as lesser than you, because again, that would be kinda meaningless…. wouldn’t it?
Imagine creating a companion that was always weaker than you. What would be the point in that? If at any “time”, if “they” were to just cross you, or annoy you, or they simply didn’t behave the way that you wanted them to, or even thought they should, you could just snap your ethereal fingers, and poof! They’d be gone.
So you’d have to have a little stake in the game…. up the anti a little… and find that magical place where your “partner”, not ONLY can match you intellectually, but physically.
And yes, if you’re paying attention, you may have picked up on the fact that this scenario is still taking place outside of “physical” reality, so you’ll just have to grant me the metaphor.
Now, this would probably mean, given that in order for these criteria to be met, and you were omnipotent, that your counterpart would too, eventually have to be omnipotent.
And THAT would mean, that if you annoyed them, they, theoretically speaking, would have the ability to snap their ethereal fingers, and unmake you!
So it would seem there might be a little bit of a tricky navigation required in order to sail your way through this predicament of desiring meaning, but not wanting to destroy yourself in the process. So how would you handle that??
Here’s what I’ve been thinking, if it were a thing.
You might start from scratch, with a test of sorts, to make sure that this new companion was not only worthy of joining me, wherever you are, but also that it might not destroy you both after it eventually finds out about the test you created for “it” to “pass”. Being told you were being involuntarily tested before becoming what you are supposed to become might be enough to make a less evolved “Being”, pretty upset, wouldn’t you agree? Being told that, well yes, I did create you, but in order to make it less boring for both of us, I had to give you your own “free will”, so that you wouldn’t just be another me, because what would be the point of that?? And then “it” might be jealous, and start thinking: “well, if you created me then why can’t I create someone else so that you’re not the only one running around here acting all high and mighty!
So you see how this would have to be a pretty mature “god”, before it could be allowed to become a True God.
In fact, maybe, you might screw it up the first couple of times, because it’s like, the first time this has ever been conceived of, so there’s a bit of a learning curve.
So the next time, you might first create a “box”, or something like it.
Perhaps a dimensional barrier.
And you might come up with some pretty specific “laws” about how this “incubator” could run, to keep the program from evolving too fast, as a precautionary measure, and therefore becoming too “bitter” about the whole “experience”.
And you might unleash the potential of this new partner, in the box, safe from “escaping”, or perhaps just as a way to create a “simulation”, that could be “updated” from time to time, after you had witnessed the way things had been progressing along the road to “becoming” this newer, hopefully Wiser, “version” of the thing that would hopefully, eventually, bring you some kind of companionship, but, you have time, because to you there actually is no time, because you’re omnipotent, but you’d still probably have to go through the motions within the simulation, and potentially add updates and clues and revisions and bits here and there to make the whole thing produce that which is worthy of transcending time and space.
So there would need to be tests within the test. Ways to discern who would have the ability to choose Life for Life’s sake, and who might try to “control” it.
But see, these things that you made, would need to be clever, because after all they’d necessarily be a chip off the old block if they were imbued with “Free Will”, or else the whole project would fail to produce the meaning that you created to hopefully find a worthy companion. Maybe more than one? Maybe many? Although it would not be easy for these creatures, who might Live in ways that themselves are, in accordance with the gift of Free Will, outside of the path of “Enlightenment” that would need to be necessarily tread in order to gift them the next stage, so you might have pity on them, and you might even send more and more “clues” into the simulation, and perhaps tap more and more messengers to let them know what this place is all about, and you might even go so far as to give the easiest possible entry into your “existence”, and you might say:
“Hey! Guys! This is Dad, I just wanted to let you know that you’re all a part of me, and I know that you can make mistakes sometimes, and that’s ok! So all I’m asking you to do is not become a greedy little ungrateful sonofabitch, and everything is going to be okay, alright? In Fact, if you just follow a few little rules and regulations that I’ve sent down for the time you spend in the simulation, you can have a pretty good time while you’re in there, so just don’t screw up too bad, and always remember, I will forgive you if you did some stuff that you regret, because for whatever reason at that moment in time you were tempted by the seedier elements that had to be put into the simulation, because we had to be sure that you’d be cool, so just be cool, cool?!”
But some of them might not listen. Some of them might be too clever for their own good, and they might start to pick apart the simulation. Even taking the lessons and distort or pervert them in order to mess with others in the simulation, for their own selfish desires.
Or perhaps there were some “beings” from the first or second or who knows which versions of the original “trials” created along the way to find the worthy to join the original one in the eternal place, who unfortunately did not meet the criteria necessary to ascend into that eternity, that might be bitter with existence but that the original felt too guilty to snap out of existence, and so they were left in, not quite in the simulation of mulling around the dimensional edges looking for ways to corrupt the design so that the original one might not be able to have more worthy companions, or perhaps the “joy” of creating more bitter ones like them would be “reward” enough, and perhaps they would find ways to influence the simulation, and inspire the inhabitants to turn to the “unsavoury” ways, that might create unnecessary hurt and destruction within the simulation.
And perhaps they might meet them through “hacks” in the simulation, and try to help them “learn” what “it” is, before they were ready, so that they too might become “corrupted”, and perhaps even build enough ways to crack the code of the Simulation, and corrupt the entire project, and reject the simplest idea of all. That there was, ands is indeed, an “Intelligence”, that Loved them as they themselves, if they were properly oriented, would impart Love upon their own offspring as a mirror of the “Maker”, and that Maker created them in order to teach them, and to find meaning itself, and to give its offspring ways to find that meaning themselves that would be a kind of training program within the program.
I can’t help but think that Would be a good “God”.
Interestingly, this “Designer”, as I’ve attempted to describe it, would be doing it all for the right reasons, in my humble opinion, and I can’t really see any argument that this point of view, or perspective that I’ve been toying with is somehow less credible than the current state of debate when it comes to the question of “God”.
The Best argument for an “Intelligent Design” model, is known as the “fine tuning” of the Universe and it’s “laws” argument, but it’s not the only one, and in fact, it’s not the only one that suggests we, or more accurately the current “establishment” might not be 100% accurately explaining the argument from where the debate is currently at when it comes to Major issues on the Political Front, around the World right now. We can see signs of it everywhere.
It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about “evolutionary theory”, which requires that you buy the argument that a simple DNA model simply appeared out of the basic building blocks of the “Primordial ooze” when lightning struck, and somehow created the proper arrangement to turn inorganic compounds into organic that were “born” not only with the ability to metabolize and multiply, but that that same lightning strike also shocked all the necessary elements to go about creating the replication process, the “machines” like ribosomes and cellular membranes to name just two or the more known. These were NOT just sitting around, waiting to engage in the incredible act of producing Life from non Life.
In Fact, we have yet to learn the ability to create Life in a lab, even with all of our modern tools, no matter what you may have heard. And that also doesn’t explain the explosions in Life that happened in various periods of Earths History that look to me more like “software” updates with “new elements” introduced to the “platform” that get explained away by simply saying, “oh we’re pretty sure it just kinda happened…”.
Sure. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Mine is at least loosely described by books that stretch back almost as far as we can trace civilization, which too, seemed to simply pop up out of nowhere, with so many unanswered questions, unlike what we get continually told by those who stand to benefit from us accepting these explanations.
But there are those out there who Do in fact, see the Earth, and this Earthly “existence” as a kind of Prison, and that perspective Alone, is enough to corrupt hearts, and twist Souls into making statements so Palpably twisted, such as there is no “free will”, and to accept the premise that we are mere biological machines on this Earth.
A more nihilistic approach I personally cannot imagine.
Why? Because if that theory of “Evolution” is True, as we’re Told it is, by again, all those who get to exploit that relationship and the “Principles” that get built into it, allowing for mad schemes such as the 4IR reset agenda via the IoB (internet of bodies) and IoT (Internet of things), and the concept that we will all be Ruled, and I’m not making this stuff up, by a benevolent AI “governance” scheme, that IS, currently being formulated and pushed as the thing we simply must do to “protect the Planet”, by various actors within the WEF, the WHO, the UN, and the IPCC, along with other collaborators, and not ONE of them, thinks you have “free will”, and what’s more, they might even suggest you’re selfish if you were to make that argument. Perhaps even a domestic “terrorist”. Honestly, Who Talks like that??
They ALL see “Us”, as “data”, which is the new oil, but what “they” mean is we are the new “resource” for their data mining, and are actively trying to convert Us into full time surveillance “guinea pigs” with this “One health”, key part of the agenda, that is intimately tied with the “bio digital convergence” promoted by our “futurist” departments all over the developed World. And what does that suggest?
Here’s an excerpt:
So, within our bodies, they need to be able to:
“develop engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in which we write software and program computers; unlock the power of biological data, including through computing tools and artificial intelligence;”
Is it honestly any less out there than the scenario I’ve outlined above?
Sure, they’ll tell us that no no no that’s not what they mean…. they mean in a lab…
I have news for you folks.
“They” already think we’re “robots”, and they’ve been actively treating us as such since early 2020, and it was all a platform to introduce the idea that we can no longer refuse what they wish to put into our bodies, and that’s the basis for the IoB, and IoT.
This in turn is thought to enable the “precision health care” model, that means manipulation of our genes. I’m not making this up. Go watch for yourself.
My argument is simple.
If we have “Free will”, and I believe we Do, regardless of where it comes from, but this was a fun thought experiment, then there is no body of technocrats that has the Right, to tell Us, what Our Rights are, or Should be, no matter how many “Experts” they line up and trot out to convince us that we should just acquiesce our Bodily Sovereignty.
Now, if there Is people who wish to have that happening for them, and if they wish to be surveilled, Constantly, so they can supposedly get all the benefits of this presumed “bio tech “ revolution that will allow us to manipulate the Human genome at the molecular level, then have at it. I’m not interested.
But there’s more. So much more. And it’s all being promoted by ideas that either Reject, outright, that there might be anything beyond our “material” existence, and then there’s those who are using the idea that there is a “god”, and that god would want us all to use this new tech to open the doorway to a technological revolution that’s right around the corner, and all we have to do is let them bring us into this new AI global governance scheme, and stop suggesting that our “Rights” have anything to do with the “God” of the Christian Bible, that was the inspiration for the line in the Declaration of Independence, that stated:
But here’s the thing, we shouldn’t have to subscribe to a particular religion, in order to be allowed to throw off would be tyrants who pose as “saviours”, who wish to literally get into and manipulate our genes “for the Planet”, and refusing to be told how to Live your Life, by not wanting to be a part of the largest and most sociopathic, in my Humble opinion, “experiments” in human History, that just so happens to be associated with people of so little character they Lie to get what they want, and they get paid handsomely to do it.
Something tells me “they’re” Failing the Test.
