The Matrix of Illusion

The information is being spread, good stuff. Fractals, consciousness... We are getting there.

We are getting there.

Getting where?

The composer of the video assumes consilience across scale extremes and various dimensions of reality. He shifts from elementary particles to human societies glibly, as if inferences that are made based on observations of one transfer easily to the other.

well put! was gonna say it seems a bit 'loose' logically but you did a far better job explaining why.

Sapiens -

Try spending 20 years of your precious allotment of life on this earth learning to open just one of your "chakras", as opposed to a titillating five minutes sprawled in a LAZ-E-BOY watching a titillating metaphysical video off YOUTUBE on a bucolic Sunday afternoon or evening.

The one activity "pays a dividend" for truth, after you've "paid some dues" for truth - in the form of 20 years of your most sincere struggling effort. The other activity does not even tax you as far as the energy required to shuffle into the kitchen to retrieve a YOPLAIT yoghurt, to consume while enjoying the entertainment.

This is the "couch-bound" passive quality that comes shining through such pseudo-metaphysical docu-dramas fished out of a you-tube lineup of Sunday remedies for ennui. I prefer one or two of the DOORS videos you posted to this - at least they don't aspire to be anything other than what they are, i.e. some melancholic rock music rendered that much more melancholic by the fact it was first heard forty years ago.

"Truth", insofar as it is accessible to us little humans, requires lots and lots of work, just to tease out one tiny strand. Anyone telling you that you can effortlessly look out upon boundless vistas of "truth" by drawing inspiraiton from an existentialist video might do better climbing onto an empty plastic milk carton at "Speaker's Corner" in London's Hyde Park.

Re: The Matrix of Illusion

I agree unfortunately. It is like appreciating a beautiful and kind queen by saying 'look at the jugs on that!'. Too much hand waving from the beginning.

Re: The Matrix of Illusion

Just the mathematical base that supports Fractals is still on the making. 19 years ago I had a first approach at it, and after turning an Electronics Engineer and having a mathematics base that allows me to develop on my work area, I still don't have the full grasp behind several parts of Fractal mathematics, let alone the full range of them.

If that is for just an area of factual knowledge, How can we pretend to have a grasp of the knowledge of all that there is? We still as species have a long trench to advance to think we do really have a grasp of everything.

Maybe our pursuit of all there is to know is getting in the way of enjoying the ride, oh to be a kid again.

Sapiens for goodness sake try not to be so supremely patronizing all day long. Take a break from the patronizing - it's good for you!

Lukester,

Too bad you cannot appreciate the brilliant simplicity of great insights.

Re: The Matrix of Illusion

I liked the video. I've been researching these topics since I was 13 years old.

Lukester, the only reason I found precious metals several years ago is because I asked "the Universe" to tell me what to do...it's amazing what can happen when you open your mind. ;)
