The boog3ee code!
“Life is complicated, life is like a watermelon, life is a journey, life sucks!”, “God is everywhere, god is inside every one of us, god is cruel, god is navy blue!”
Whenever someone starts a sentence with “life is” or “god is” in an attempt to produce an assertive definition of the subject I find myself wallowing in an overwhelming urge to beg Scott to “beam me up” away from the conversation.
Depending on the day, the mood and the circumstances, the little discovery I am about to discuss seems as the luckiest or the unluckiest thing I’ve brought my silly self to find out, anyway though, it seems to have had a profound effect on my life.
Human being’s knowledge is vast, their capabilities are almost immeasurable and their understanding can be overwhelming, I mean believe me! I’ve met some pretty damn intelligent folk in my life so far, yet what is even more colossal than all that is human’s capability of imagination. To describe it humans tend to refer to it as limitless.
I believe that it is fair to say that logic, as we know it and whether from an individual or a common perspective, is of our own creation as humans, we discovered it based on our senses and perception, and due to our circumstances through which we view our surrounding environment in all its’ vastness. This notion leads to another realization: all matter counter to our perception of logic, i.e. what we refer to as illogic, is also a human invention based on human perception, yet mostly created through the vessel of human imagination since all things deemed illogical tend to not exist in our material or rational world, unless of course we discover at some point that these things do in fact exist, in which case they are removed from the illogical category and added to the logical category.
Since all what is logical and/or illogical is either subject to our perception or imagination we could easily say that all things in existence, and many things that do not exist fall under this category too, yet by using the logic theories themselves we find ourselves unable to prove that our imagination is limitless, since even if we can’t perceive of it, we can basically imagine the limits of our own imagination!
If you allow yourself to take this journey you may be able to see many things and understand a lot, in other words you would considerably widen you perception, yet by realizing some kind of an estimation of the shear size of one’s imagination and then coming to the conclusion that all of it remains limited, new concepts start to become slightly clearer, namely that which is beyond imagination and the concept of eternity.
And here we find the ultimate mind fuck; try to put all these things into consideration, and then attempt to finish this sentence: “life is _____”, or “God is ______”. How about another perspective? Can you finish this sentence: “I am _________”?
How about this for a conclusion? Allow yourself to nourish your ego to the point that you feel that everything that you can absorb or imagine is within your grasp, yet never lose sight of the utter insignificance of who and what you are compared to what could and does lay beyond.
