My theory to life!

Completely wrong CozmicX. Everyone knows we’re all living in a virtual world run by a mass army of robots that need our lives as an energy source. I dunno about you guys, but I’m staying jacked in. Life outside the matrix blows.

I agree with DJHyperbyte. If you don’t like something in life, either do something about it, or just get on with it and accept the way things are. If you don’t like being here, no one is forcing you to stay, however, live life whilst you can, and enjoy it, because one day you won’t be able to.

I think I’ll go with the matrix theory

If you are dead, and what you perceive as life is only a memory replaying, then time is irrelevant. You are currently stuck in the year 2004 (in your memory). Millions of others could be replaying different places in time. “Real” time would be unknown, but as I said irrelevant, since time only has meaning to you and I as a line we travel along at a theoretically unalterable speed.

There are scientists who theorize about the nature of time and space, and even the existence of God and his ability to intercede. Most often when the question of free will arises, its in the context of whether our lives are predetermined by God, nature, genetics, environment, etc. The Bible says God know what we’re going to do before we do it. Does that mean that we have no free will?

I heard a scientist explain it this way. Imagine you lived in a one-dimensional world. Your entire world — all that you know — is constrained to that single dimension. Think of it as a dot, stretched into a line. You can “see” forward and backward, but not up, down or sideways. Note the similarity to our concept of time.

Now if you take that line, and add a second dimension: width. You are now in a two-dimensional world, like a piece of paper. You are cognicent of whats behind, ahead and to each side of you. You still cannot “see” above or below you. If a being lived in a three-dimensions, it could “see” you from above (or below), but you wouldn’t be able to see it. Your perspective of the world does not include the dimension of height. When people talk about parallel universes, this roughly describes the concept of two-dimensions of time.

Ok, let’s leave flatland behind. Now we are living in a three-dimensional world. We see back and forth, left and right, up and down. We could interact with a being living in a two-dimensional world and to them we would appear as miraculous; intersecting their plane of existence seemingly from out of nowhere.

Is that all there is? Perhaps– but maybe like the creatures in the two-dimensional “sheet-of-paper” world, we simply cannot see or comprehend a being that lives outside of the dimensions we are aware of. Its not difficult to imagine additional dimensions — many scientists now believe there may be as many as 10 — and that God and other “heavenly” beings can travel across these dimensions that we cannot see or comprehend. Where they intersect with our known dimensions, a miraculous event or a vision might occur.

I’ve used the analogy of space, but the same analogy could hold for time. Our perception of time is one-dimensional. I believe God sees multiple dimensions of time, and can move around in time more freely than we can imagine. For him, time is not a line, but more like a physical location. Where do you want to visit? 1000 BC? 1492 AD? Simply addresses or points in the multi-dimensional “space” of time.

But I digress. Cozmic X, you might already be dead, in which case you’re simply remembering reading this reply. But you could go crazy living as a fatalist or determinist. My gut tells me that this is neither a dress rehearsal, nor a replay — it’s live, and it’s the real thing. So make the most of every moment of it!

deja vu’s….

i get these all the time… so either i’m dead, or precognitive, or maybe

Gee….. it’s hard to think of what the fourth dimension would be like. Like……. up, down, sideways, and…… inside? Anyway, It would be like trying to invent a new color. Most dumb people would say, “sure, that’s easy” but they would just mix multiple colors together. 😉

But what about in the next life? will there be a new color? 100 new colors? the answer is beyond me.
