Your lack of imagination is your defeat

The brain perceives things imperfectly. That sentence alone debunks everything you've ever written, by the way.

When you're ready for real life, real science and actual peer review, let me know. Until then you're just another guy in his bedroom making up flowery pseudo-science with no purpose except massaging your own ego.


My ego you say?
You are an absolute joke son. Banghead

It seems that not just the brain but everything in this finite universe is in search for perfection in a
relentless move.
The time therefore represent this march from imperfect to perfect.
Said this it look like the time is nothing but a temporary effect that may well disappear once the
imperfect merge into the perfect which is not affected by time.
In other words the time is but an illusion that will vanish once the perfection is reached.

That is not an easy deduction to make for someone that believe in the reality of this universe.
Physical science is yet far far away from reconcile how the whole system works
for the simple reason that it never meant to lead to perfection as it is affected by positive and negative
that is why trying to rely on this science to understand what is outside her competency is like going around in circles and getting nowhere.  Lightbulb

If I wanted to be orders of magitude more generous than you deserve, I could say that above, you simply describe the second law of thermodynamics and the statistical arrow of time in poetic language. Of course I only point that out to tell you that physicists have "deduced" that deep insight already over a hundred years ago.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

You'd really distract him from his method of meditation?

That's cold.

You mean just like you just went around in circles and went nowhere. This doesn't answer the question you asked.

When your mind has truly transcended reality, then you will see the world as Rik does. If you're lucky you might get the padded room next to his so you can compare notes.
