It Is Real! It Is Not Real, Just Illusion! Well Then It's Illusion With A Purpose!

In the last post I wrote with the following paragraph near its end:

In the process of occupying a common environment where we are linked in communication one to the other in the passage of time, our brains are programmed to recognize non material objects as material objects in the same way. Therefore it seems in the sameness to each of us of all things seen, we believe it to be the same. To the extent that it is made up and confined within the parameters of its moment of movement it is the same seen by us as the same. Through the multiple ways we communicate with each other our brains learn to identify things observed in the same way.

I then went into a description of the Schrodinger Cat experiment.

The Cat is in a box which at first is there, and then events in the box (release of radiation) kill it. It is covered then uncovered and it possible the cat won’t be dead but alive. There can be a series of observations in which it alive, dead, alive again, dead again each depending on whether the fatal dose of radiation has been released while the box was covered.

The discussion had to do with what we see in a material way is not necessarily what its reality is. I used the metaphor of Algorithms put into play creating the appearance and producing the situation that the material appearance depicts. This hints at or suggests all reality we observe is purposeful though not necessarily actual. It is there to serve us in our experience occupying this Space/Time limited dimension as such its purpose is tuning us into an interface with what appears and what is produced as if it is the only existing reality.

Science brings us to this conclusion. There is more than meets the eye. Uniquely enough, stepping away from science as we know it and looking at the cosmological foundations of what is will bring us to the same conclusion, including the manifestation of how much they agree one with the other.

In a book of daily readings I follow, entitled Glimpse after Glimpse, by a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Sogyal, Rinpoche, the reading for March 10 recites a poem of Buddha:

Know all things to be like this:

A mirage, a cloud castle,

A dream, an apparition,

Without essence, but with qualities that can be seen.

Know all things to be like this:

As the moon in a bright sky

In some clear lake reflected,

Though to that lake the moon has never moved.

Know all things to be like this:

As an echo that derives

From music, sounds, and weeping,

Yet in that echo is no melody.

Know all things to be like this:

As a magician makes illusions

Of horses, oxen, carts and other things,

Nothing is as it appears.

Rinpoche, Sogyal (2009-10-13). Glimpse After Glimpse: Daily Reflections on Living and Dying (Kindle Locations 503-514). Harper Collins, Inc.. Kindle Edition.

It is for us as it appears. In reality Buddhism tells us it is all illusion, purposeful illusion, nonetheless it is still illusion. The purpose of it is to serve us as we interface with it in a Space/Time limited Dimension

From this inexplicable turn of events, namely: is the Cat alive or dead or alive? Is a particle a wave caught in an instantaneous snapshot? Can  a wave-particle be in more than one place, subject to our observation,? Is it our observation that gives it the dignity of being? Science asks these questions.

Cosmology than opens the door further. It sees the same illusions as seen by science. It dwells more heavily on the interface of each essence of materiality and predicates its existence on the existence of all other things having the essence of materiality, then turns around and limits their existence to illusion, illusion with a purpose, served by the time/space limited dimension, which for that matter really isn't. It is seen or interfaced as such for the purpose of all material interfacing within the confines of its own Schrodinger’s Box.

This brings us to the 64 million dollar question: Is our dimension exclusive? Are there others that exist? Do some of them or many of them or all of them depend on each other in their genesis or their continued existence/non-existence?

Science surmises there are channels available to pass thru time and place to other times in places, forward, backward and laterally. For lack of a better term describing them they are called “Wormholes” the forward and backward feature of them could amount to time travel, lateral movement could be travel from one universe to another.

The same musing suggests there has to be more than one universe in existence to accommodate choice and change as naturally exercised by us. The explanations ange around the topics of the exercise of free will, the results of choice, the relative nature of existence that is within our exercise of consciousness to see, like seeing Schrödinger’s Cat either dead or alive or a repeat of that.

This is then extended from the act of consciousness coupled with the act of choice of one alternative in the exercise of free will over another as the cause of the difference and the necessity of the generation of a new universe to accommodate both choices or accommodate predetermined cause. The choice of one (Yea) in either and all events demands the generation into reality of its partner the other (Nay).

The yea and nay being mutually exclusive it is reasoned that the both yea and nay must necessarily happen. They must coexist as Yin and Yang must coexist. Because they are mutually exclusive they must exists in another universe. The effects of this kind of generation of course wears out the concepts we have of a singular universe.

Keep in mind! This all has to do with Dementia, and the theme of the Essays “There is more that the eye can see” In my case Dementia lifted the last curtain allowing my view of reality as it is rather than as it seemed to be.

With Dementia I found my purpose in life and go to my death with that satisfaction.
