Sense and Sensitivity 4

For some light relief for you all from my more intellectual things I am sharing this series of thoughts and sayings of mine. Here is the fourth installment

Don’t fail to check out, here in The Last Great Gentleman Thinker, the novel and fascinating proposals, though of an intellectual bent, delivered in such a unique and intriguing manner, on such a wide range of subjects, as to be truly of interest and highly informative for all –The stuff of genius!

…

Do all good things when you are innocent enough, but don’t be so innocent as to overdo them or do what even your innocence knows is bad.

…

No one wants to live forever, but everyone will take the extra day.

…

Life is Long - It seems short if you look back, but it often seems too long if you look forward, so that the older one gets the longer life gets, in a way, although time passes faster and faster.

…

Imminent

When it is imminent

And will happen at any moment

It is relief to know the end is near

Now by your side your sword and spear

At ease, you find there is no fear

Off breaks that brittle seal

It never anything did conceal

But frees the limits of imagination

Now filled instead with wondrous expectation

In awe, at last you will rejoin creation

Is this now my time?

Am I now to cross the line?

You never will have felt so fine

Soaring beyond the happening event

Embracing it and living it to full extent

Amazed - “This is my finest moment!”... B

…

Don’t think about things to do. Do things to think about.

…

Best be busy about things that are not easy to be busy about.

…

What am I living for?

I’m living to live,

And because I’m not living,

I’m wondering what I’m living for.

…

Life is for those who live.

…

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But you know how it is.

…

I expect the very laws of physics to alter for my slightest whim, and deep down believe they would, that they did where I came from.

...

THE LAWS OF CREATION:

1. All things have a beginning and an end.

2. Space and Time were created to accommodate physical and spiritual

change.

3. Change is the only ultimate constant. The speed of light will only be constant

while there is light.

4. Want is the primal and essential driving force of creation.

…

What follows here is perfect - A pure note from the crystal bell of my mind, but skip if you are in the mood for easier things to work out:

THE SUPERNATURAL LAW OF PROBABILITY (SLP) - As of the beginning, to the extent that the probability of something becomes more remote, so it becomes not only more unique, but more inevitable, until, when its probability becomes infinitely remote, it becomes not only absolutely unique and inevitable, but eternal, in the manner of our conception of God, and His being before the beginning and beyond the end.

Supernatural (Webster’s): Of, or proceeding from, an order of existence beyond nature, or the visible and observable universe. 

Nothing we tangibly know of is eternal, but the Supernatural Law of Probability aligns with Man’s intuitive or instinctive (and therefore supernatural) sense of his individual personal uniqueness and possibility of becoming eternal, as well as with Humanity’s, the World’s and the Universe’s uniqueness with regard to their nearness to being infinitely remote and absolutely unique.

All things, then, are varyingly inevitable and unique, as they should be in relation to their absolutely unique and eternal Creator.

Prime Application of the Supernatural Law of Probability: The Supernatural Law of Probability would outlaw the fantasy of the universe of universes of universes of universes… because it shows that our universe is the only one probable, by being the infinitely remote one, and therefore the absolutely unique and inevitable one corresponding to our creation.

…

The Finite Infinity: The universe is a finite infinity, the only one, and as such is upheld by, and itself upholds, the Supernatural Law of Probability. From what is predicted at present it seems that the universe will expand and diffuse indefinitely, but once it becomes infinitely expanding ultimately diffused matter, that would be its end… although it continues!

The Law of Creation (above), stating that “all things have a beginning and an end”, would not agree with the finite infinity of the universe, but either ending is in accord with the Supernatural Law of Probability, only that it makes the finite infinity of the universe one degree less likely than its complete ending for it to prove itself infinitely remote and absolutely unique and inevitable, which its complete ending would do.

However, it is fun to see how the SLP, while making the finite infinity of the universe seem unlikely, strengthens the Law of Creation that all things have an end.

...

The Plethora of Creations: It would seem uncharacteristic of a Creator of “unique jewels”, so to speak, either for there to be an infinite plethora of creations, or for this creation to have an infinite plethora of universes - or for there to be anything that is forever “fizzling” out.

...

Everything that is Tangible is Finite: If time is tangible then it is finite, and if it is finite it will have an end, and when it ends so will this creation, in accordance with the Law of Creation that all things have a beginning and an end.

…

The Supernatural Law of Probability and Quantum Physics: Although I proposed it at the time, I learned after I wrote the SLP (which was a long time ago) that probability was finally applied to quantum physics in order to carry it forward, as suggested by a professional gambler, I believe. Well done! However, it is probability on a very broad basis, whereas the SLP is absolutely specific, and as such may well come to apply in what is still to be understood of quantum physics.

We can’t even forgive those we know are dead.

We can’t even forgive ourselves for offences to those we know are dead.

I am still a viable proposition.

The greatest man ever - Ludwig Van Beethoven...  and possibly the most beautiful.

…

The greatest genius ever - William Shakespeare... No one comes near him, not even to within 50%. Nah, not even 30%. Not even adding your best poet to your best playwright. 

…

Genius is an acquired skill through practice of an innate ability.

…

The greatest discoveries and contributions to the wellbeing and the flourishing of mankind, and so to the advance of creation at its spearhead, are by (both British):

- Edward Jenner: Vaccines

- Alexander Fleming: Antibiotics.

…

Here is the measure of how old you are - If everyone seems as though they were created as you see them, then you are young. If everyone seems as though they are the same age as you, then you are old.

…

It seem to me that creation was purposely set in motion allowing for countless things to happen without the Creator disclosing to himself the outcomes along the way, there being a beginning and an end of it in itself and of all things within it, with change being the only indefinite constant, and life and death, of the quick and the stars they came from alike, the means of it, until we came along in the order of what had preceded us, but transcending it by acquiring consciousness of our existence - and of our inevitable mortality and demise - and when that happened, to ease the consequences of such a realization, the rules were changed for us only, and we only have been allowed to return to the Creator as we became through the evolvement of this creation of His in which we dwell.

Or, the series of amazing coincidences vanishing into the past, representing an inevitable intention down to the most minute detail of our emergence and development and disproportionate progress, make our existence as having been perceived and programmed by the Creator from before the beginning so that we might appear, as we have done, in order to appreciate creation at its finest moment, there having already been set in place all the required materials for our progress, pleasure and wellbeing, and our having come to acquire all the necessary knowledge and to have evolved to our fullest extent, for which consciousness would have been requisite.

Either way - the price of our becoming conscious of our fate gave us passage beyond it.

…

The great difference between us and nature is that, whereas nature’s emotions are in complete accord with its existence, ours are in complete disaccord.
