However, people often overlook the fact that the macroscopic is complimented brilliantly by the microscopic - and most likely to the same exponential extent. If the universe is infinitely large, symmetry will tell us it is infinitely small - and therefore no fundamental particle could ever exist. If this is true, then people are right, the universe is so expansive that there must be life in existence somewhere "out there" - but only if there must also be a necessity for sentient life somewhere "in here" as well.<br /><br />It is probabilistically the case that every writhing cell within our "body" contains entire civilizations, atmospheres, and galaxies withing it. Which means it is just as likely that our civilization, atmosphere, and galaxy are likewise part of some greater entity. And if the Buddhists are right about recursion and isomorphism, then this entity's moods and actions are dictated (even if in a miniscule sense) by our moods and actions.<br /><br />Welcome to a universe where the largest collapses into the smallest and vice-versa, and where time is a single instant, which ripples throughout the scales of eternity, dilating experiences which are only to reverberate symmetrically back and forth throughout... well, strictly speaking, that instant.Jorgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133229144297568448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905353746465795170.post-74616269025817636882010-07-17T14:12:59.470-07:002010-07-17T14:12:59.470-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jorgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133229144297568448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905353746465795170.post-30220758376617278062010-07-02T03:27:37.548-07:002010-07-02T03:27:37.548-07:00They teach that each one of us is already an enlig...They teach that each one of us is already an enlightened being, we are simply ignorant of this fact because of the suffering and attachment in our lives. For this reason we are all Buddha and any many people use amazing and inspiring people as 'their Buddha' to learn from and emulate...<br /><br />You are <b>my</b> Buddha.Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364350693542856441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905353746465795170.post-82006438513410655082010-07-01T17:04:37.085-07:002010-07-01T17:04:37.085-07:00If I think too much about this stuff, I get lost a...If I think too much about this stuff, I get lost and someone has to cattle-prod me back into the now.Lorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280051930892497967noreply@blogger.com
