If "everything is energy" then what does this mean?

[godnotgod]

Your pet 'theory' is what is known as a 'billiard ball' or 'fully automatic' model.

 

[Runewolf1973]

Which tells us absolutely NOTHING! It's just silly! It's like saying 'all humans breathe oxygen'. Yes? And......? C:\......

It IS really so simple that it is almost stuoid the fact that there is so much unnecessary religious, philosopical and mystic drama. So many unnecessary terms such as "Ultimate Reality", "Pure Consciousness", "Absolute Truth". It is such a mess. The whole debate..."Where did life come from?"..."Where does consciousness come from?"...even scientists and physicists can't seem to agree on the matter.

My view puts this all to rest...at least for me...

Everything is Interaction.


That says it all.

 

[Runewolf1973]

Maybe you can use it to 'figure out' what all of this 'interacton' is all about. Then again, not, as there is nothing to 'figure out'.

No, there is really nothing to figure out because it is just that...Interaction.

Yes, the universe is fully automatic, fully animated and fully interactive.

 

[psychoslice]

Who can say - with any authority - that is....

And yes that is true, but there are those who believe they know, and they dress it up in their particular label.

You like to think so.

 

[godnotgod]

OK. I will try, but I know you don't have the ability to grasp what I mean:

What is the NATURE of interaction?

 

[godnotgod]

Yes, the universe is fully automatic, fully animated and fully interactive.

Ah, yes, the Spiney Norman knee-jerk syndrome!

Is a dream about being a dragonslayer also fully automatic, fully animated and fully interactive?

YOU are 'part' of the universe; are YOU also fully automatic, fully animated and fully interactive?

Do you even understand the origin/nature of what you are referring to? Or just making things up again, like 'everything is interaction' malarkey.

 

[Runewolf1973]

You like to think so.

Interaction doesn't require thought, so it's not really a matter of "thinking" so, that's just the way it is whether you like it or not.

Happy Interactions!!!

Unity.

The dream is the result of interactions in the brain, so in some way that dragon is real, just not in the way we think it is while we are dreaming

 

[The_Fisher_King]

Well, if you are focused only on the foreground (ie; this dual world of relative joy and relative suffering) and not connected consciously to your true nature, which is Absolute Joy, eventually you will experience suffering. so if that doesn't matter to you, then you are correct.

Does anything (really) matter to you?

 

[Aupmanyav]

There is no 'substance' to consciousness; it is empty of self-nature, and yet, it is self-evident. Stop looking, and simply see, what is.

Consciousness, no substance, nothing to be seen, nothing seen. Interaction without two things. Then how come, all this?

 

[Runewolf1973]

Consciousness, no substance, nothing to be seen, nothing seen. Interaction without two things. Then how come, all this?

Interaction can be seen in different ways. It can be seen as two separate things coming together, or it can be seen as many things joined together as one. It can be seen as a duality, or it can be seen as oneness. It is a lot like the universe actually. Some see it as a singular, while others see it as a multiplicity. Either way there is no difference...it's all interaction.

What are quantum fluctuations and virtual particles? Those are interactions. How did those quantum fluctuations or virtual particles arise? Likely due to an interaction of some sort. Energy/movement/change = interaction. Electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear forces, gravity...interaction.

I find it interesting how interaction can go back seemingly endlessly. I would venture to say that interaction/movement/change (what you call energy) is infinite.

 

[godnotgod]

Unity.

Now you're just clutching at straws, and in the process have committed a mortal sin.

Think.

There is no interaction that can achieve unity. Unity is already the case. So interaction is not about unity.

What is it?

Good question, if not THE question.

'From brilliancy I came;
to brilliancy I return;
What, then, is all this?'

And the related question is: Is it worth the candle?

What do you think "interconnectedness" is? Same thing...unity.

 

[godnotgod]

Does anything (really) matter to you?

Yes, of course. Absolute Joy

How about you?

So now we're back to 'the Universe is nothing more than a gyrating stupidity, which was a fluke to begin with'

Oh come on now, no need to insult yourself in such a manner.
