Supernatural

Yeah, that area outside of the universe is infinite

Here's an interesting article on this exact subject

Is there anything beyond the universe?

This one's a real head-scratcher.

Is it? Could just be literal nothingness. We don't really know as far as I'm aware

Even then, space is part of the universe, and the universe can't be infinite if the Big Bang is true

Literal nothingness? I wouldn’t buy that for one second but you’re entitled to.

How are you so sure what does and does not exist outside of our universe?

Common sense. I don’t believe in brick walls then nothing.

When I think of something that’s supernatural in the natural world the only thing I can think of is infinite space. It’s the only thing that even comes close to being supernatural. So am I supposed to believe that this is the only supernatural thing in existence? I think not. As you may know, I believe that all of existence falls and rises with the death and birth of one individual on earth and repeats itself in an infinite cycle. This person is the second thing that is supernatural in the natural world imo. Only one supernatural thing seems a bit off, don’t you think? Infinite space is unruly and needs an anchor. It needs this human being for order and self-awareness imo.

The sphere of infinite space is one of the four classic formless jhanas of Buddhism. (The other three classic formless jhanas being the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, and the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception.) Having a jhana experience can certainly feel like having a supernatural experience.

I don't think I understand you. The word supernatural means things and events that are outside of nature. "Supernatural in the natural" kind of strikes me as an oxymoron. There are people who do worship nature, or elements in nature, but I wouldn't call that supernatural. Maybe if you elucidate, I will understand you better.

Yeah, iinfinite space is in nature and outside of natur. That’s what makes it supernatural Imo. Just keep it simple. you’re reading into it too much. You’re making it difficult where it doesn’t need to be.

Or another way to put it …..You gettin weird bruh.

Oh, there’s something “outside” the “observable” universe. That I know.
