Re: Do you think there are other realms or universes? [Re: Around In Circles]

Around In Circles said:
"Proof" in this matter is mere experience.

These conceptions are esoteric for a reason...

As a man with a telescope (and the knowledge of its use) may gain experiential knowledge that goes beyond the purview of the "average" person, a man who has had a mystical experience has experienced something beyond the purview of those who have not.

Discordance is too often the result of mere ignorance; that is, lack of experiential knowledge.

:awehigh:

Yet once again, this isn't to support the "reality" of such experienced realms beyond our predisposed perception.

Just as slices of the multiverse (no matter how coherent) cannot interfere with one another; these states of consciousness can only be conceptually appreciated by those who have experienced them firsthand, as they are truly "otherworldly."

Psychedelic states exist in their own world; they can provide a truly alien experience which all too often is entirely incongruent with our accepted consensus of "reality."

Sometimes it just takes a telescope or a psychedelic.

:cookiemonster:




The highest levels of theoretical physics is, to some extent an experience as well.  A tiny, tiny fraction of humans can understand it and experience the "aha" of grasping what a room full of equations might actually mean.

Not that much different than a group of highly developed Tibetan Monks, 40 years of 10 hours a day meditation, experiencing entry into a realm that we could never hope to understand.

They're just mental models that minute fractions of people can glimpse.  The rest of us take their word for it.


--------------------
"The universe is endless, limitless and infinite.  Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance.  We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end.  There is only memory.  Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends.  Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations.  Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death."

-- Ancient Taoist Master
