ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS
Einstein shocked the world with the paradigm of E = Mc2. This equation allowed us to see behind the curtain of the universe. None would doubt the veracity of this claim today but at the time this axiom was extraordinary. Atomic energy harnessed this equation and utilized its power to the point of effecting every person in the world as we know it today. Strike a single match and it becomes self evident.
It demonstrated that energy is mass with tremendous velocity. If you reverse the equation another paradigm can be seen. Mass is energy with its velocity reduced. The physical and non-physical universe is all energy moving or vibrating at different states of velocity. An omnipresent energetic substructure interpenetrating everything and in fact is everything. The universe is an oceanic field of energy, vast beyond imagination.
For years the duality break between what appeared to be a distinct difference of mass and energy stifles the realization of what we are perceiving. Everything that we experience, taste, smell, or touch is all energy.
To give a simple analogy; it is like a fish swimming in the ocean and bumps into a block of ice. It appears to be something other than water but that is a mere perception. The fact is that no one thing, event, or being of this universe is separable from the whole. It is a continuum of essential energy with no gaps. Leibniz's famous apothegm "natura non facit saltus" - nature makes no jump.
One cannot limit this universe of ours to a mere 18th century continuity of a function or Zeno`s paradox in reverse. This continuum was taken to mean that infinitesimal changes in the value of the argument induced infinitesimal changes in the value of the function.
If cause and effect is true then the totality is continuum of infinitesimal quantity and magnitude. The number of the chain of events is so minute and multiplied that it evaporates into nothingness. That is division without limit one might say. This exceeds duality in its infinite division and separation.
With the abandonment of infinitesimals in the 19th century this definition came to be replaced by one employing the more precise concept of limit or finite sum.
This universe that you experience is much to vibrant to be limited to cause and effect as if it were mechanical. It is alive with energy that permeates all things and the very experience you are having. It is a continuum of unboken energy like the sky, atmosphere, or space.
This begs the question - what is observing cause and effect?
I am not that which is not conscious; I know which knows not. I am aware of cause and effect and naught exists for me unless I know it.
I have the will to be and so do you; desire manifested. The cause must be at least equal to or greater than the effect. The idea that oblivious momentum could effect existence and create conscious awareness without a previous desire or experience of awareness is a priori conjecture and a leap of faith nor does it have any correlate in any modern physical theory.
It is clarified with one simple question; Has anyone ever recalled the moment they became conscious or has anyone ever witnessed the event?
Another Paradigm.
You are the working model or better said, the reality of the universe in and of itself. You are no different in any way than the ultimate reality and therefore; the exact duplicate/image as a fractal of the whole. The reason I say this; Is your consciousness made of the same energy of the universe?
How could Enstein sit at his desk and examine the structure and function of the universe? What the universe is and what it does is the same thing. It is this energy that animates your consciousness and we know it as life.
Everything can, in principle, be explained, or that everything that is, has a sufficient reason for being and being as it is, and not otherwise according to the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Theories have been formed to create separation from this principle only because the cause could not be found.
To examine the universe all one must do is investigate their very own consciousness. We have a number of good reasons for sticking to the formulations of determinism that arise most naturally out of physics as our consciousness is part of physics.
The First Law of Thermodynamics asserts that matter or its energy equivalent can neither be created nor destroyed under natural circumstances. One of the logical outcomes of this law all matter and energy in the universe is conserved.
Thermodynamics is the only physical theory of universal content which, within the framework of the applicability of its basic concepts, I am convinced will never be overthrown.
-- Albert Einstein
This reality that you experience is it a partial reality or a whole or complete reality?
Can you recall an experience you had before you existed?
Can you remember when you began to be aware?
Your consciousness is the energy of the universe and therefore can never be destroyed and has existed as long as the universe.
As Schäfer has said,
The openness of the quantum world conveys a feeling of liberation. One might see the promise of messages -- perhaps a benign guidance -- from the depths of the universe, which affect our fate even though we do not understand them. And there is excitement in being part of a universe that is creative and where the unexpected and even the inexplicable constantly come into being.
This is the paradox of Alladin`s lamp. The Container could be said to be your body and the Genie your consciousness. It is full linkage with reality rather than mere truncated association.
Your consciousness carries with it all of the dynamics of the 'ultimate or total' of the world including time as already mentioned. The more aware of our consciousness we become the more we are aware of our choices and thought and what they are founded upon and through. We begin to see that what we contemplate is universal and is inherent.
Some characteristics of infinite.
1 - Having no limits or boundaries in time or space or extent or magnitude.
2 - Being singular or nondualistic.
3 - Total and all-embracing.
4 - The unlimited expanse in which everything is located.
5 - In geophysical terms, an "infinite' dimension is one much greater than the footprint of the system, so that the system does not detect changes at the edges of the object.
What kind of existence is possible in "All Possible Worlds"?
Your consciousness, as it is an infinite fractal loop that is the universe.
There is only one life, one consciousness, and one awareness that you know, that is yours and yours alone. There is no other comparison you can make. You can say that another person has conscious life; that is still just you experiencing your own perception through comparison, it is your awareness and none other.
Consciousness relates everything without exception including light and mass. You can experience light and matter and be aware of the singular experience. There is no example, comparison, or duplication of your consciousness, it is one of a kind and the singularity that is the universe.
Many have attempted to use consciousness as a subset of the universe. This is logically impossible as it is a singular consciousness perceiving the total and making comparisons. Nothing that exists is outside of your consciousness. The best you can do is compare your perception.
There is only one consciousness, how many do you experience?
How many realities do you experience?
Can you have more than one consciousness?
The questions will arise.
Other people have existed before I existed and didn`t they have their own experiences?
And you cannot recall these experiences that any one of them had. So when did you begin to experience to be able to compare yourself to these "other people"? This is you comparing your own experience with others. These other people still exist by means of you conceptualizing their experiences. Ergo; they exist in your single consciousness.
It is still just your very own consciousness making comparisons.
Before the human race came into existence, before consciousness on earth evolved, what do you think existed?
This is an assumption because it can be conceived of a time before consciousness that this concept is more than just a thought that exists within the mind. It is easy to confuse reality with concepts because of our immense power of reason and predictive abstract thought. It is like believing in national boundries between countries. They only exist within the mind.
When the human race dies out, who remains to be conscious?
That is like asking - when I am no longer existing, what will I be? You are experiencing reality in a nonlinear consciousness. You defy all linear thought, though it can be thought about and confused with actual existence. You will never know anything but your own consciousness.
When you say your single consciousness, are you refering to my individual consciousness as a person, or are you refering to some kind of larger universal consciousness?
There is no difference as you experience only one consciousness. There is only one property of the universe - energy.
What about other people do they have consciousness?
While you sleep do you always recall your thoughts while you were dreaming? Does this mean you were not conscious?
Could it be while you are sleeping you are still experiencing your very own consciousness just in another or expanded awareness? I am not a figment of your imagination. I am being experienced by you in your very own "single consciousness".
The Three Thought Experiments.
1-Throw a ball at the edge of your conscious awareness. If it bounces back it is finite. If it keeps going it is infinite. This thought experiment has been done by physicists for the universe.
2-You are performing an infinite number of actions of awareness and all done in a finite amount of time. This present moment is infinite in its experience ergo your consciousness is infinite.
Look around in the room you are in and start counting the objects. You will quickly find you will never stop counting and yet aware of the 'total'.
3-Your consciousness is carrying out at this moment the hypertask of transcendance. It can never exaust itself in experience, thought, or expansion. You have never had the same conversation, day, experience, or meal. They are all one of a kind and singular in their uniqueness. This tells us that change is a constant and therefore infinite.
You are experiencing the infinite flux or change right now.
You are experiencing ground zero or the critical mass of the total of all reality right now as you are reading these musings. There is no more of the universe that you can possibly experience in this present moment. Yet at the same time the Ultimate Reality is not confined nor restrained by having your experience.
If not; what are you not aware of and what you are not experiencing?
If you cannot; that by definition as well as experience makes it irreducible as it is a singularity and carries with it 'ultimate or total' characteristics.
My hypothesis is your consciousness is an infinite fractal loop that is the universe. It is all we have ever known or shall know in all possible worlds.
