Hi everyone,
This is my first post here. Basically, during September of last year, whilst on study leave for my third attempt at Honours in Accounting in order to eventually qualify as a chartered accountant, I had a bit of an epiphany. It was the discovery of my own version of the Law of One.
I have always wanted to find a scientific/logical version of “the meaning of life”. As far as I can see, mainstream science hasn’t yet come up with answers to the big questions in life, but it has done pretty well at ‘explaining’ all of the small details (or at least at providing good predictive models). However, religion and spiritualism (in all their forms) usually tackle the big questions first (meaning, purpose, etc.) and then see if they can also deal with some of those smaller details that mainstream science deals so well with. Nevertheless, I have never liked the manner in which religion and spiritualism normally answer the big questions, i.e. someone (priest, prophet, spiritual guru, etc.) receives the information (from God, an angel, a higher being, etc.) and then asks everyone else to pretty much just trust that this information is correct. Whereas science at least attempts to answer questions in such a way that others could re-perform the calculations/experiments themselves if they really wanted to.
So I wanted a scientific or logical answer to how everything was created and perhaps why it was created etc. To cut a long story short, since I am actually now trying to put all of my thoughts down in a book, I basically figured out that one can, and must, build the entire Universe out of TRUTH. Yes, truth – that concept thing. Not out of little bubbles, marbles, strings, quarks or even ‘energy’ etc. but simply out of truth. We all already accept that truth simply exists, whereas not everyone can or does agree/accept that anything else such as an electron or tiny string actually exists on a fundamental level.
The key for me is basically to construct a diagram whereby one takes a truth, like “1 = 1” and expand it into something like [(1 = 1) = (2 = 2)] = [(3 = 3) = (4 = 4)] and so on. Obviously truth itself can be (or already is) expanded or expressed into an infinite number of distinct truths, even truths like “cat = cat” and so on. However, the key is that all ‘individual’ truths, whilst seemingly unique, are actually identical in content and potential, i.e. any truth can be expressed/expanded into an infinite number of other truths just like ‘truth’ itself can.
In other words we are all one, yet also distinct depending on how truth/God decides to ‘view’ itself. So we can either see (1 = 1) as a different truth to (2 = 2) or we can see a higher/denser truth of [(1 = 1) = (2 = 2)] and so on. This all looks much better in diagram form (try it out) and you can actually see how the ‘expansion’ of truth looks a lot like cell division (biology). If I figure out how to post pictures on here then I might just do that. It seems trivial/obvious, but shouldn’t the meaning of life be this simple?
Obviously, I can go on and on about this and it has a lot of implications (no Big Bang required, possible explanations for what light and gravity really are, why we can express everything via equations, what pattern recognition really is, etc.). But after I figured this all out, which involved about a 3 week patch of almost constantly streaming information entering my head (from who knows where), I looked around for something similar on the net and found this whole Ra and Law of One story. I have been from strong Christian to strong atheist and now I feel like the spiritual (new age) people had it right all along, although I have still never experienced even the slightest “paranormal” event, which is perhaps a good thing, since I feel that my approach/book will be able to win over a couple of atheists/scientists (not so much religious people), regarding the concept of “we are all one etc.”, just before this Harvest event turns things upside down.
Sorry, I tried to keep this short and to the point, but it is obviously the biggest topic that one can ever really discuss. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Ryan
