Deeper thinking, and even longer words, So there
Ok - well, as a professional procrastinator (Just finished off a pot noodle, and am now tucking healthily into an obscenely large easter egg), I'll post a few samples of my poetry in a few hours, but for now, try this out.
I've posted it from a word document, so don't blame me for the reading on the crap'otron.
Life (as an existing consciousness), and time passing is measured by you existing. It’s measured by your perceptions of it. My perceptions. Anyone’s. In that case, how fast is the present passing? How long until the future becomes the present? How long has it been since the past was the present? Will they ever meet?
If no life existed in the universe, there would be no present. We’ve talked about this in detail. It’s just a human concept. So, if time is just your perceptions of it, why isn’t it possible to change your perceptions? If time and space are just perceptions why can’t you change them? I generally hate sleeping in other people’s houses, due to the fact that I wake up for a few seconds with no orientation. The point is, for a few moments; I’m expecting to be in my own bed, in my own room. Instead, I’m lying (half-drunk occasionally at Chris’s)in someone else’s. In those few moments, is my disorientation due to the fact that I can’t remember where I am? OR – is it the fact that reality hasn’t set in? If the world is made up of my perceptions, that means I can only stay in one place by ‘believing’ I’m there. Hence, could you pass back and forth through space, or even time (!)by simply freeing your mind?
The world is based on how YOU view it. I’m not inside your head to most extents, just as you’re not in mine. Your perceptions of the world make it what it is. As I said, without life, there’d be no time, as it couldn’t be recorded by memory.
Reality MUST therefore be what you make it, to yourself. Does that then mean you could manipulate it?! If you freed your mind, could you pass through every parameter of space and time? If you could let go of everything: every preconception, ever understanding, every thinking habit, would the world be what you made it?
Anyway, think on it -
