Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
So in conclusion :)

For the sake of completeness many things could be said. You will always remember this as the day you almost caught .....

....i make myself laugh enough.

It's not like that.

What is it like?

How can meaning be understood in such sentences where even the most mundane examples of a word (it, is, that, this) are an input or output on a frame?

If you were me, would you understand? You wouldn't know what this is like. Right here.

Ah, the beauty of coherence. It must be so.

There are some places that we cannot go.

There are some places that I am not there.

And so what?

Why bother contemplating this.....? Really.

It's because something is amiss!

Something is not quite adequate.

The feeling is not quite what a genius sang.

A weekend can be so long and so short...

But... :)

It works.

That's fun.

Thanks.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
Hello OP.

I am envious of you and wish I could have started this thread and run it. I would have wanted to have various people studying it and piecing together ideas about it.

It seems like everyone is having a good time without me. This sucks.

However, I am also envious of all the other threads too. I am envious that you have superpowers and can do stuff to reality.

I wish I had superpowers and could do stuff to reality too. Only, I cannot comply with any bargain about it, nor follow you somehow.

This is written for the sake of dissolving a field of protection that is disappearing now. Envy doesn't last long after being honest. As it turns out, I'm not that envious and it isn't clear what is there to be envious about.

After all, I am doing my utmost to be selfish as recommended by you. It's a surprisingly difficult process. Look at this post for example. How does it serve anyone's benefit?

Well, it might. I don't know about that. However for me it is something of a freedom. I have already felt calm in not worrying what others think of me yet this is another step away from ever bothering about it again.

As it turns out, the stories about me may be true. In what? In your mind...or someone's mind. In my mind....I dont even know where to go with that one.

What's even a mind? This word is mentioned often. I don't really want to know. It's just weird and curious.

Okay thanks.

Hath returned!

As happens, the perspective I'd written prior has expanded and clarified my intelligence.

After all, it was muddled before. Not going to mention the precise difference anymore. It is unlikely that anyone is muddled in the precise same way as then.

Might figure it out. Or not. I won't be coming to save you.

 Quoting: Sabai_Adonais


Riling up people for entertainment is what makes you a bitch.

You will be sorry, but not because I'm doing something to you.

This time, I made a name and image and signature choice for this thread.

All that I said of Sabai Adonis remains true. It's good for what it's worth as feedback on my accuracy.

I am easy to rile up. Years ago, I decided to remain sincere no matter who abuses it. I chose to keep meaningful connection no matter who betrays me.

I judged it worth the bitches taking bites out of your love than to let them win by getting apathetic or turning into another one of them.

Even the builder is incapable of regenerating as well as I. I heal. Then the ones who love me, and I them, grow stronger by my decision to stay true and be strong.

It cannot be taken away.

In the end you didn't rile me. You simply caused me pain, thats all. I didn't react explosively or angrily. I wrote the truth.

You caused me pain because I didn't write anything that would detract from someone else, and you detracted from that.

You chose to antagonize me for entertainment. If you believe there is only you, you could think about how you treat yourself.

I find, the greater my self worth, the more rewarding it is to find the worth and goodness in others.

You made use of me for entertainment and I made use of you for an example. As you are not me, nor related to me, a separate being, I don't consider you alive in a meaningful way, but as a parasite that bites and laughs and delights in it as entertainment.

I find, entertaining, other things. Even sarcastic friends I've seen have love for one another. I enjoy seeing happiness.

I never felt it, the likeness of chatting the secrets of perception for a prize. Instead I knew war. In self-discovery I learned a value. Peace I cherish more than comfort. I have a reason to fight or to destroy. In the world you will see many who cherish war. They are better off dead. I have a reason to fight or to destroy. It isn't incoherent to fight for the sake of peace. I'm pretty good at war, too. I'm mediocre at peaceful things. I am okay with being mediocre. I won't be.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
In the song the lyric gives a line that translates "they who betrayed you once, do not hold them, let them go".



On GLP there is a running joke about spelling the word moron as "moran". Presumably the comedy is in the irony of accusing someone of stupidity while misspelling the word. It takes me back.

When I was 12 I had a teacher who's family name is Moran. I thought I was clever back then. I had names to make fun of all my teachers. I called her Ms Moron because I hated school.

I remember her in particular because her effect on my life was profound. I've told this story many times. I won't go over the details. In short, she taught me the wisdom of not allowing a cycle of abuse to continue.

She said, you can continue the cycle or you can end it. In her life, she chose to end it. I didn't know how much this wisdom would accompany me in life later on, but I remember very little of what I learned in school. This lesson has remained.

Slowly, the wisdom revealed itself in my life as I overcame one cycle after another.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.


I found GLP through this thread. I read only this thread for a while, only sometimes going to the companion threads for context. Eventually I did go see what else is on this site.

I did make threads for sharing notes and forgot I did. On this site, there isn't any consistent practice of restricting commentary on threads.

Pretty much anything goes. Some wish to support the site and gain the ability to delete posts, It doesn't work on anonymous threads.

These themes go over various areas of thinking. This thread was likely written for GLP users.

Ever get invited to a party where you know none of them and they all talk about things you've never found stimulating?

You could change it, or get self absorbed. You could become like them. You could leave.

I sigh sometimes. I'd have no internet around but something more important requires it. So now I visit a few pages and sift through mud, not looking for anything in particular. I'm just seeing what is there.

People in the flesh are also plain. Might as well help all of them. None of them are me. They are some people. There's plenty similarity. Everyone is relatable and we understand each other.

Some try to be different. Some try to fit in the normal. Some are self absorbed. Some are self conscious. Some are quiet. Some talk a lot.

It's nice. They don't wonder about these things so it makes variety.

I've been looking at sports recently. I might learn what that's all about. Nothing important is happening anyway. I'm taking care of it all, don't need something from you.

Care to buy something? Money talk is good. We keep it simple. Then we move on.

Well. That's profound. I made everything better.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
If my saying "none need saving" caused you pain, you might wonder why. Why the need to feel like a savior? Why assume responsibility for people you don't view as yourself? Why does denial of your self-assumed role of savior over others cause you pain? Perhaps because it denies your separation? Assuming over others can never end well for the assumer, as seen time and time again. Disappointment. Lack of change. Ouroboros. The only way to escape the cycle is saving yourself. Who else needs it?

It wasn't so much that I said it to antagonize you, more that you obviously took it as antagonization. Though, I knew you probably would. You don't learn. Nor do I. We do not. You indicate that I am nothing to you (but a parasite), and yet you give me power to wound you? That's silly, frankly

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
Hello!

I have been living in this world for some time now.

I came from a place also named Earth, much like this planet. There are a number of differences between my home and yours.

I thought it would be interesting to share a few things with you that are relatively common knowledge where I am from. My reasons for doing so will probably be more apparent in the future.

* Consciousness does not exist (but relationships do)
* Matter is gravity that has been structured
* We are not human (we are perspectives)
* When the totality of something cannot be grasped, it appears infinite.
* Space is not physical
* There is no "now" or "here", but relationships.

We use a kind of language like you use numbers here. Numbers, representations of abstract concepts, were 'invented' to work more easily with the world around us. Our language is no different.

If it were invented today it would probably be thought of as existing in parallel with science. A new kind of science.

This language also enables the shifting of perspective like a kind of mental technology. Some of you may find it quite interesting.

If anyone is interested in learning more please let me know.

Thanks.
