Many hours of pondering about what we do from the moment we open our eyes to the moment we close them have led me to some musings I’d like to share. — When and where there is nothing there is also everything. There is no time or space, only energy. When and where there is order and chaos, there is matter and motion respectively. Simultaneously and concurrently, there is space-time and equilibrium.

When we find that perfect blend of the good, the bad, and the ugly. — It’s been said the Information Age is over. This is because the accessibility of information has gone from being novel and fascinating to overwhelming and confusing. We have access to more information than we know what to do with. …

Having an addiction is like being unable to play a game without using cheat codes. — Even though I’m not the gaymer I used to be anymore, I’m certainly old enough to remember the concept of cheat codes. They were the creator’s way of offering secret backdoor access to additional content (“easter eggs”), side-quests, shortcuts and abilities. Then of course there’s the “god mode” cheat. I…

How I think emergence and entropy give rise to consciousness, and how transcendence gives form and meaning to everything. — We feel the passage of time from the marks of events left on our memories and the pull of our fantasies. As fantasies become realized they remind us we still exist in the present, but nothing is permanent. Entropy ensures constant change. What are memories but neurons and synapses kept…

Again and again… — Do you ever have moments when you come to realize that one thing about yourself that explains a lot about you? Maybe even everything about you. This one thing doesn’t necessarily have to do with any specific defining moment of your life, although it may sometimes be the case. What…

What do you think it would be like to exist as a 5th-dimensional being? — Related: What Is the Fifth Dimension in ‘Interstellar’ (Bustle) Consider the loose analogy that a single 2-dimensional image “transcends” into 3-dimensional form by a flipbook, similar to how an object is printed one layer at a time using a 3D printer. Imagine each passing moment is a single page on…

Not a review, but a reflection triggered by Interstellar. One of my favourite movies that leave me in tears every time. — Everything in the universe has gravity, however small amount it may be. Gravity attracts objects to one another. When one object is significantly larger than the other such as the Earth compared to us, it’s easy to think that it’s a one-way attraction. We see ourselves falling toward the Earth…

Stillness leads to reconnection. The connection with oneself allows for the “perfect moment”. — What I’m talking about is what many people call the “flow state”. Some others call it being in the “zone”. Whatever you may call it, I’m sure we all agree it is a good state to be in. How do we get to be in this state? Cognitive science describes…

Thank you for sharing. I can relate to and understand the frustrations you have with people who ask for help but don't seem receptive to it. …
