Zack, Thanks for the complementary comparision and the advice. Unfortunately I'm lacking much in the way of extra time these days. I have done a bit of reading on lots of subjects over the years and this incorporates a lot of what I've learned. It's nice to get feedback, because knowledge is...

Hey, no problem, it's taken me a lifetime to think it up and or find it out and I'm 46. I suppose most people see it as competition to whatever model they have thought out or bought into, so it's always nice to meet someone willing to think along the same lines.

You're right, I don't read philosophy, generally I read physics. If you want to look up the concept of top down vs. bottom up, check out complexity theory. It's one of the defining concepts of the new business models of the last fifteen years. Check out the Santa Fe Institute...

transcendence in surrender Language, like law, is an approximation of reality, not the basis of it. These visual and auditory symbols that are words are like Pavlov's bell. They attach themselves to aspects of reality and create little circuits in our brain. For (most) people, the word...

The reason monotheism is fundamental, but not universal is because it represents half the conceptual model, that of the unit, while eastern philosophies tended to promote the process side of the equation.

As is well known, there are potentially any number of facts to support any argument one wishes. Monotheism is a fundamental stage of intellectual, social and civil evolution. Given that Eastern societies developed any number of technological innovations, without being monotheistic, not to...

Of course, the opposite might also be argued. The Romans adopted monotheism as the classical age was in decline and critical thinking didn't really begin to re-emerge until the age of enlightenment, which was basically a rebellion against the monolithic group think enforced by the church...

This is a compliation of various trains of thought that I've tried bringing together into a wholistic understanding of reality; There is a basic factor which has been overlooked in how we normally conceive of reality. Time has two directions. As point of reference, the observer goes from...

Antonio, This is exactly why I am saying time is process, rather than dimension. In the proposed line from past to future, which exists only when we assume the frame of reference is at rest and only the point of reference is moving, we exist at a dimensionless point in the middle, called...

Till, The thread isn't mine. I'm not arguing that time doesn't exist, but that it isn't a dimension, because this is based on the assumption that the reference frame is at rest, so that the motion of the point of reference requires an additional dimension to define it. I'm just making the...

Antonio, Yes. This is why all of reality exists in what is considered a point in time. Till, It is not that there is "a backward path through time", but that the path of time is a subjective construct in the first place that is neutralized by its relative context. To the extent the...

LeBrok, The problem is that all of space has matter and energy, so it does effectively form something close to an absolute frame of reference, unless of course you believe in the Big Bang theory, but we have currently found mature galaxies and enormous galaxy structures at the very edge of...

Antonio, My brain just doesn't think in equations, just like it can't think in languages other then english. And the visual. And occasionally the emotional. LeBrok, The question is whether there is any other frame of reference. As you propose that there isn't, then they tick at the...

Antonio, If it isn't evident by now, I'll point out that I'm not a mathematician, but am just trying to comprehend reality. That said, personally I'd have ask what isn't zero point energy, in that everything is supposedly matter and anti-matter. Which returns me to the point; Zero is zero...
