I'm going to fall you, because dumb down explanations, say nothing and answer no questions. But, I can recommend this video and this series as a start...

I think it was interesting, but a dead end. The interesting part was that "matter" is vibrational. However, a holographic model opens up entirely new ...

Bohm indicated that his model leaves open the possibility of consciousness imbued in the Implicate Order. Bohm could only go do far, as he was already...

Wu wei is the state of being between motion. It just happens, such as when one falls asleep, or when one dies, prior to re-awakening. Wu wei just happ...

Wasted my time. Shrug.

How does quanta form into materiality? How does Mind create a sense of materiality? Maybe not in this lifetime. Be satisfied that you are now asking t...
April 24, 2021 at 03:13
You need to drop the notion of materiality. Everything is quanta waves. The real question is how does the mind create sensations, e.g. sensations of s...

Mind and Quanta are the same. It creates using itself.
April 23, 2021 at 23:42
Mind is just exploring, learning just creating many different things. Some of them are puzzles, like a magicians act. All to explore new ways of to ma...
April 23, 2021 at 20:33
There is no non-being. It is Mind that begins to create. Think of drawiing without lifting the pencil. You begin to create shapes in a never ending sp...

Yes, thinking in terms of particles, or anything discrete, is a major hindrance to grasping the nature of reality. Daoism and other philosophies alway...
April 23, 2021 at 18:36
Think of it as a Universal Mind (an ocean) with Individual Minds (waves in the ocean). Of course, A Hologram with everything existing everywhere is an...

Check out Stephen Robbins on YouTube for a very interesting series on the Holographic Universe.
April 23, 2021 at 16:06
Time is not linear and bidirectional, but is the experience of change, and of what is morphing into what is becoming. Memory never dies. It is embedde...

There is no reason to entertain dualism. Everything is light/quanta in a holographic form.
April 23, 2021 at 15:56
Time is not linear, it is the experience of change.
April 23, 2021 at 15:54
Yes, if you consider the Universe as a hologram, and we are all part of it, you can imagine the movement within the hologram, and perception as a reco...
April 23, 2021 at 15:52
There is no reason to invoke dualism. "Matter", is an ancient and completely outmoded way of looking at things. Everything is quanta (Mind). How does ...

With determinism, you can't have your cake and eat it. It is all or nothing.
April 23, 2021 at 13:30
To you maybe, because it was determined that you have that feeling, but not to me, because it was determined I would respond in this way. " probabilit...
April 23, 2021 at 12:54
The there basic elements of Taiji are Yin, Yang, and Qi. It is the moving wave that one experiences when practicing Taiji. To understand the Dao De Ji...
April 23, 2021 at 05:12
There is no gap. It starts as One, then by turning onto itself, it becomes a standing wave (yin/yang). Then with movement (qi), there is a spiraling w...
April 23, 2021 at 02:55
There is no method or understanding in determinism. There is only determined events. You may "feel" like there is up understanding and methods, only i...
April 23, 2021 at 02:10
For a very limited set of problems, the equations work. Beyond that, I have no idea what they offer other than paradoxes. Where there are paradoxes, t...
April 22, 2021 at 23:13
There is no argumentation in a deterministic world. What is interesting, is thst what seems to be arguing even exists given the nature of determinism....
April 22, 2021 at 22:00
It doesn't.
April 22, 2021 at 20:00
It all depends upon: Is the contradiction one of perspective, or Inherent and inescapable in a determinastic life.
April 22, 2021 at 19:59
The past is what we are as a whole. An experience that are memories. The present, is the sense of becoming different. Of memory changing. The future, ...
April 22, 2021 at 18:35
Time is essentially the experience of change within our experiences/memory. In essence, Mind is Time.
April 22, 2021 at 18:08
Why so? The Mind is looking upon itself. https://cf.ltkcdn.net/feng-shui/images/std/128275-392x306r1-Tai-chisymbol.jpg

T Taiji is a practice that ultimately allows you to experience "effortless movement", which is an internal flow without willfulness. One is very relax...
April 22, 2021 at 17:21
Two types of stuff interacting in the Universe? Interacting in what? The fabric of the Universe. It is much more straight-forward to think of the fabr...
April 22, 2021 at 13:49
I have been practicing Taiji for 35 years, and it was at about 15 years that I first "experienced" the nature of universal "flow", i.e. action (moveme...
April 22, 2021 at 13:21
There is a distinction. In a deterministic universe, the sentence is merely an utterance without meaning. The word exists. That's all.
April 22, 2021 at 12:01
Admittedly, most determinists do not fully embrace their own philosophy, however the point is quite clear: There is no such thing as truth in a philos...
April 22, 2021 at 00:37
I prefer to characterize it as "this is determinism".
April 22, 2021 at 00:17
It is as the topic suggests. Is there such a thing as objective truth in the context of determinism? It is not a caricature. It is discussing the mean...
April 22, 2021 at 00:04
Non-determinism permits independent, creative thinking, i.e. new insights as a result of intuition. It happens as a spontaneous burst of recognition. ...
April 22, 2021 at 00:01
Of course. Is there meaning in a series of sounds? There is, if it has been determined you believe so. You are not choosing anything, including your b...
April 21, 2021 at 22:48
That's the beauty of determinism. It doesn't matter. The dominos keep falling as we all await the next utterances with bated breath. It's thrilling.
April 21, 2021 at 22:45
Everything that happens has been determined to happen. It is the meaningfulness that comes into a question. You say something. I say something. All is...
April 21, 2021 at 22:42
If you believe there is meaning to the notion of exploration, then yes. But the moment you apply meaning to exploration, you have disowned determinism...
April 21, 2021 at 22:40
Try this for a starting point. Remember, most of what you asked reading is from a Western bias perspective. Hoover, given the importance of astronomy ...
April 21, 2021 at 22:37
There is room for independent exploration, discovery, insights, and communication emanating from the individual mind. Nothing is determined. Disagreem...
April 21, 2021 at 22:26
As a determined utterance. It's all equal. Determinism is quite egalitarian, bless its soul.
April 21, 2021 at 22:21
In a deterministic context, just utterances. Only someone believing in a non-deterministic thinking (i.e. insights) might be able to put more value in...
April 21, 2021 at 21:52
The Universe is what it is. It is me making sounds and you making sounds. Just shuffling along.
April 21, 2021 at 21:44
In a deterministic context, it was been determined that you said that and I wrote this. Shrug. Just utterances with no meaning or purpose. I can only ...
April 21, 2021 at 21:35
How can there be a Truth when everything is Determined. You can only have someone uttering that something is true. There is NO independent discovery o...
