I would like to share with you some thoughts that, given the nature of the things discused in this forum, I think could be interesting to talk about.
Since the ancient times, the Human Being has theorized about the nature of the universe, the existence of God and invisible worlds. I think that our current state limits us in such a way that we can not find answers to these questions through the study of the things we can see, touch or analyze.
Many years ago, when I was a child, some day I was thinking about the reason of this kind of material experience and if it could be found any way to win the game, a way to get out of the maze. Suddenly I felt a thought: "Of course there is an exit door, you would not have came here without a way out.".
So, I started to think about that. What could be the exit? How to find it? I noticed first I should understand what I am and what is the universe. One night, I was thinking about all that, when I decided to refocus the problem under analytic view of the programmer, because my father taught me to program when I was 8 years old. My impression was that the design of the universe could be reduced to the design of a computer program. You know, you have information: waves, particles, dimensions, interactions, etc, so it can be emulated in a computer. I tried to take the role of God creating the universe at the very beginning assuming God was alone, without anything but its own thinking ability.
Then I found the first problem: Where to create the universe if there is nothing but me? There is no space, no canvas, no playfield (that would be the universe itself). How can the creator create anything outside its own being?
A very strong feeling started to make me think: "EUREKA! God created the universe in its own mind!";
Oh dude! that was for me like experiencing the nirvana... And I quickly tried to create a logical diagram to explore and comprehend this moment of illumination. What I got is the following philosophical reasoning:
1) Axiom: I exist.
In order to derive conclusions, we need an axiom, a non-questionable starting point. Let this axiom be my own existence, since is the only thing, the only fact I can be 100% sure is true and real.
This is unquestionable, it can not be proved mathematically, but it is self-evident.
2) Axiom: I exist and I can observe.
I am a spectator, I observe the phenomena. I feel input: thoughts, vision, audio, etc. So, I am something which can feel other "somethings". This is self-evident too.
3) Deduction: "To be observable" implies "To exist".
I'm sure my existence is real but, what about the existence of what I observe? Are my thoughts real? Are real the EM waves that my brain interpret as colors and forms? Are real the objects which emanate or reflect these waves? It is real the matter I can touch?
Well, I don't know if all that is real because, first: what means "real"? But I'm sure these things exist because they are being perceived and "to be perceived" implies first "to exist". It can be imagination, a dream, an illusion, "solid matter" or whatever, but it IS something.
4) Deduction: There is only 1 Existence, because the Non-Being doesn't exist.
Ok, so I exist and what I observe exist but, do we exist in different existences?
If there are multiple existences this implies that the existences must be separated by something. If existence is "to exist" what thing could exist different to "to exist"?: The non existence, the Non-Being.
But there is no such thing like that, because if the Non-Being exists it never can be Non-Being, non-existence, the simple fact of being would disable its role of non-being. If the Non-Being exists is something, it exists, so it is also Existence.
So the existente is common to everything, everything "is" in the existence.
Also everything is existence, because there is nothing different to "The Existence", nothing can separate it in different parts, so there is only 1 existence.
5) Deduction: The Being knows no limits.
The non existence of the Non-Being has enormous implications. First, everything exists, and nothing ceases to exist. Something can not become nothing. So the past has not gone forever, it will exist forever and the future is now, it exists already. There are infinite pasts, infinite nows, infinite futures, infinite universes, realities, etc.
The Existence, not being limited in any way by the Non-Existence, knows no limits, and any imaginable posibility, form, system, combination, experience, etc, exists already. It has no begining, because it never started to be. There was not anything different to it, and it did not emerge from the Non-Being.
Increated, without origin or beginning, without end.
6) Deduction: You and me are the same.
So, if there is only 1 Existence, if there is only 1 Being, you are me and I am you. Our lifes are parallel lifes of the same being. Our bodies are "different eyes" of the same "brain". I am not into an universe, all the universes are in me and I am all the universes.
I'm not alone, others thought this before.
Then, at the school, I learned others had thought this before me. Like Parmenides, whose philosophy says basically the same. I got very excited the day my teacher explained Parmenides' philosophy and, at the same time, I was shocked because no one in the classroom noticed the extreme importance of this.
I've found this reasoning was a common topic in ancient cultures, for example in India. You can read in the Bhagavad Gita:
And the Cs has given us this too:
Monotheism deprived man of this idea.
Monotheism introduces the idea of separation: There is a powerfull God who created you and the Universe and you exist by its will. You can not comprehend it, you must be simply servant of the lord. There is a hierarchy and you have your place in it, never will you be able to be on the top but, if you are good, you will go to the paradise and there you will enjoy the glory of God.
This inherently leads you to a position where this no questioning of the nature of God, the Universe, the Being... creates a blocking, a mental prison which prevents you achieving higher knowledge. And this facilitates too that you accept that, those who have been chosen by God as his representatives, will govern you and will decide for you.
