Where are we? What must we focus on and how do we focus on it?

we should not lose focus of whats important, and IMO, the most important things is TO BE. We are here, we must focus on our position relative to our own reality.
Who says we have to live according to anything? Maybe the powers that be just want you to think you have to live according to the laws of the universe, what seems to be the here and the now...it makes it a lot easier to control the slaves when they don't even know they are slaves, nor the power they posses...

Of course, many simple things throughout what we perceive give us hints that there is more than we know, such as time. You have never experienced the future, nor the past. Neither have i. There is only this singularity, this moment.We perceive time though, therefore we must live accordingly.
I contemplate such things because it expands my mind greatly and I find it more interesting than most other things. I learn from it and you never know what doors, experiences and perceptions you may open and awaken. I may begin to understand and percieve another dimension...who knows what can be unlocked in the world of the unknown. I can understand how focusing on the here and now is important, and I do, but contemplating philosophical and meta-physical ideas can be just as important.

Do not get me wrong, contemplation of reality and universe and all is not a bad thing, in fact it is a great way to develop mental acuity, and to possibly open yourself up to a deeper spiritual experience, but no matter how we look at it, we are still perceiving everything in a 3rd dimensional way (some say 3d, i say how do we REALLY know we are in 3d, maybe more maybe less)
If we didn't try to understand things that we don't understand, we would learn nothing, would we not?

Its like science. Science strives to classify, discover, see how things work. Branches of it reach into space and the rest of the universe. But, we have never left Earth. Yet we attempt to understand things with such certainty.
As I said in that thread, I've only ever really consciously done it once when I slightly moved a pen up my hand and my friend witnessed it. It was more of a well thought out theory based the evidence I had coupled with a lot of thinking and pondering.

I didn't just touch upon it, it was basically the main subject of the OP...

also you kinda touch on the theory that our world, the solar system galaxies, and the universe are all just a spec of dust in the thumbnail of a giant, and his world, his planet, his galaxy, his universe is just a spec of dust in another larger being's toenail...
Yes, I regret ever mentioning it now. It was fine to say we are part of a larger being, and that being is part of a larger being and so on for infinity, or the other way around with beings living inside of us...but to say there is a being that penetrates all of space and time...it was a bit of a leap...I'm not even so sure there is now...not that I was sure in the first place...

I fully understand what you are trying to say there, we must dive into the "sea" with caution but that's what being a psychonaut is all about.
Originally posted by M157yD4wn
i meant that we must focus on BEING. Being One, being all, BEING. i contemplate meta physics and spirituality, paranormal and deeper aspects of nature as well. But there was a point where i become lost in a sea of everything but what is. i didn't stop sailing the sea, i just became more aware of the direction of land and the nature of the sea i was lost in.
From chaos comes order and from order comes chaos.
Originally posted by M157yD4wn
As for what she told me about the universe, its chaotic, with a loose structure of order. problems arise when order beyond the scope of natural order is imposed. never ending always being.
I think I did
Originally posted by M157yD4wn
edit to add: i think you may have taken my focusing on the here and now in a way that i did not mean it.
Haha...I did to...fixed it now.

You don't have to conform to anything. I'm just saying it's quite a "weird" way of going about things and it takes up a lot of thread space.
Originally posted by symmetricAvenger
my point is the question.. i dont mean to type the way i do its infact just how i type im sorry if i do not conform to what you wish me to... oh well..
Oh...I didn't think that...I'm not making any judgments...you seem to have some good ideas...I'm just saying it's not the most "aesthetically" pleasurable format and it takes up an unneeded amount of thread space.
Originally posted by symmetricAvenger
just coz i talk / type the way i do please dont think im stupid
I really don't know...I'm not even sure such a being exists...I'm leaning towards the the non-existence of such a being...if I had to answer assuming such a consciousness did exist, I would answer that we don't need it and it doesn't need us.

Presupposing this "Super-Consciousness" is real, what are your thoughts on dependence, independence, and interdependence? I.e. Are we dependent on the "Super-Consciousness", or is the "Super-Consciousness" dependent on us, or both?
It was just a suggestion.

but i did want to contribute to the thread in a meaningfull way
This is true, but is a discussion for another thread. Thus far it doesn't seem like you have been focusing on the subject at hand but rather telling us that there is no point to even asking questions because the question is the answer...and I can sort of see what you mean by this...but again...that's for another thread...and I will continue trying to answer such questions for the fun of it, the knowledge it brings, and the experiences involved because I beleive every question does infact have an answer although I'm not even really sure as to what you are saying...you just need to slow down and write something that we can actually make sense of.

The world is chaotic, not in the normal sense (evil & anarchy) but in the sense that the smallest thing can have large scale effects, and nothing can be determined 100%. It's impossible to predict the weather 100% because it's a chaotic system, there are two many factors and the whole thing errupts into undeterministic and random chaos. Sure, the creator may have created the energy in our universe, or we may be the dream or part of the creators imagination, but I think most things are left to chance and chaotic probabilities.
The only thing happening on 2012 is a lot of death, sorry to be negative, but that's what I see as happening, and the junk DNA thing is a common misconception. They only call it junk because they haven't yet figured out what it does, not because it is currently useless. Check out my 2012 thread and see my veiw on the subject, I think it's the most scientifically supported veiw out there.Study shows a prominent 62 million year mass extinction cycle - We are on the brink of the next one
Yes, I concluded that same thing a while back. I also enjoyed the poems. Thank you.

I respect the way you go about things and I have interest in some of the things you say but you just make claims and that's it's, you don't explain them and no one really understands what you are talking about.

I know you had good intentions, and I wasn't trying to blast you either, I think tour mistaking some of my comments as being hostile.

Of course, and I will listen, I have been.

WHY DO I ASK?
I enjoys those poems or what ever they were. Thank you.

I am very sure of the fact that we are created, for I have researched it. The randomness of life is due to freewill. On many other planets, beings do not have freewill, and in galactic terms it is a sought after commodity.
I can agree with this...

I tend to trust scientists...a peer reviewed study undergoes extensive critizism and analysis by a lot of other intelligent scientists before being accepted and published, it's hard to get past that using fruadulent data.

You'll have to stop listening to what scientists and the mainstream media tell you. They are paid to make you afraid, it's what they do and they are good at it. Break out of the box you are locked in and find out the truth.
So where can I hear from this "energy" that tends to our magnetic fields or what ever...a podcast I'm guessing?

Not to be harsh...but I'm sick of illuminati proaganda and death cult propaganda by the Luciferian God-Men. We do have a terrible impact on the world whether we want to admit it or not. Whether or not it's related to global warming or not, I do not know, all I know is that we have a devestating impact on the ecosystem.

Global warming? Illuminati propaganda!! They want to keep you fearful, and tax you more, because it is down to Humanity, isn't it? Well, human life on Earth is a small snapshot in a very large picture, and weather patterns, the positions of tectonic plates, new volcanic land masses have all been variable, and still are. It isn't set in aspic.
We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.
Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.
Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.
Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.

1. During winter months, 49 percent of soot and other particle pollution in Sacramento is caused by burning wood in fireplaces and wood stoves.
2. According to the World Health Organization, if you are one of the 18 million residents of Cairo:
- Breathing daily air pollution is like smoking 20 cigarettes a day
- You take in over 20 times the acceptable level of air pollution each day
3. The World Bank reported in 2002 that pollution causes 2.42 billion dollars worth of damage to the Egyptian environment annually - equaling about 5 percent of the country’s annual gross domestic product.
4. The risk of cancer from breathing diesel exhaust is about ten times more than ingesting all other toxic air pollutants combined, with diesel emissions contributing to over 70% of the cancer risk from air pollution in the USA. – reported by Environmental Defense

Americans use approximately 2.2 billion pounds of pesticides every year. Research shows that target pests will eventually develop resistance to these pesticides anyway.
Seventy-three different kinds of pesticides have been found in groundwater, which is potential drinking water.
More than 100 active pesticide ingredients are suspected of causing cancer, birth defects, and gene mutation.
A growing list of pesticides have the potential to disrupt the immune and endocrine systems and of having long term impacts on the offspring of exposed humans and animals.
The cost of one nuclear weapons test alone could finance the installation of eighty thousand hand pumps, giving third world villages access to clean water.
Estimated costs of cleaning up the 24,000 contaminated federal nuclear facilities range from $100 billion to $400 billion. (The Environmental Protection Agency)
Each year U.S. factories spew 3 million tons of toxic chemicals into the air, land, and water. That compounds the over one-half billion tons of solid hazardous wastes - we're not talking about your garbage here - that get dumped across the nation for our generation to one day clean up. (The Gale Environmental Scorecard)
In 1987, the U.S. released 1.2 million tons of toxic chemicals into our atmosphere, 670,000 tons into our soil, and 250,000 tons into our water. (International Wildlife magazine)

Well, I actually think some things just happen...why can't things just happen? Why must it all be controlled by some "higher" being or something?

Yes...that's basically how I was picturing it...and atheists, IMO, don't have to not believe in some sort of higher being existing some how, but rather just not be fooled by the sinister religions that think they know how man should operate, and how God operates....but keep an open mind to all possibilities.

I love these topics.
I recently pondered the question if it is possible to be an atheïst believing in more than the material world. As an atheïst does not believe in a higher power and when all is connected and the supra-consciousness is made up from all consciousness inside the universe you are part of that one so it cannot be higher than yourself. So 'God' is a universal cooperational consciousness.
