A reality worth aligning to…
This last week I participated in some training for the new role I’ll start in March. Sitting in a classroom with various amounts of Hardware, touch panels and PC’s got me thinking about who’s reality are we living in. I asked the question from the instructor about matrixies, because we where creating if… then… statements and loops of instructions, how far can one ask an if… then… statement. He answered the sytem will allow up to 5 dimensions of statements. What? I know he was talking about arrays and data within data related to but contained within and yet mutually exclusive from the first, however I struggle to picture a 5th dimension of data.
Someone in the class pipped up and said, well there are 10 dimensions… ok.. not helpful but, cool. He even said there’s a video on the net about it. Imagining the 10th Dimension would take some explaining so here is the link, I’ll leave it to your imagination.
This got me thinking then what if… then realities. What if we are all immortal beings living in a mortal experience… then this mortality is not real. The immortally would be real. If the reality is that we are immortal then we must exist outside this reality we call mortality and therefore if we die then we continue to be immortal then we exist and if we exist then we must be thinkers and have consciousness otherwise we couldn’t consider that we are immortal…. On the other hand if we are only mortals living in a mortal experience then this reality ends at death. If it ends with our life being extinguished, then did we ever exist? If we did then we can only be immortal because of the memory continuing if the memory of our existence where to extinguish as soon as we died, then no one would feel grief or guilt, and since we do, then mortality cannot simply be the explanation of what reality this is.
If I am intelligent now, then I must have been capable of being intelligent before I became such. Its a stretch but I think I did exist before I was born and not because of a belief in God that I have, but because separatly it doesn’t add up to my mind that I exist now and not before nor after this life. I conclude that we are immortal beings having a mortal experience in a reality locked in a way that increases our intelligence and when it ends will continue in a different way than the first.

good thoughts, worthy of introspection and the follow through is excellent.
‘I think therefor I am’ only more so.
