Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Existence is changeless seen from an absolute viewpoint. What we experience is a unique timeless path within the absolute. Nothing can come into being. Nothing can be destroyed. As Ramesh Balsekar says: life is like a movie already made. How, then, can there be experience of change? The unique timeless path being experienced is infinite, so it will go on and on..., but there is no time involved in the form of change. Consider a crude example: The decimals of Pi are infinite (3.141592...). We can pick another number, and if we represent this number in binary form we could get something like: 001011100110101000011110101000111... If we pick a specific number, this number can represent a computer program for the entire known universe, from the Big Bang to infinity, and all this program is is only a timeless single number! Pythagoras believed everything could be described by numbers. Aristotle wrote: " The Pythagorean ... having been brought up in the study of mathematics, thought that things are numbers ... and that the whole cosmos is a scale and a number. " So everything you experience could be just one single number. I don't mean that the universe _is_ a number, but that everything of form can be modelled using a single number. This single number representing an infinite computer program does not need any 'computer' in order to run, the number is itself both the 'computer' and the program, running _now_, or rather, expoding into infinity is a single shot! Have you ever seen a more dry and mechanical description of God than this? :-) /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
