“The Game Theory

I shell try to explain to a future reader at the very beginning what to really expect from the further reading of this book. I wish to tell you the reasons why this book is destined exactly for you, the one who began to read it in the first place.

If you have ever wondered about the meaning of your own life, then this is the book for you and you alone. I wrote it for just one reason – for my desire to share with you the truth about the world that surrounds us. I wish I could lead you to the place where I am currently standing (the view is so great!), so you could see the world on the palm of your hand. I wish I could make you feel what I am feeling right now (‘cause the feeling is so overwhelming!).

Since I have logically “put all the peaces of the puzzle together” in my head, I just cannot be unsatisfied. I cannot be unhappy nor can I be selfish. No life circumstances or events that surround me can condition me. I do not have any problems, and I can never have them again. I am always content, happy and peaceful.

With this book, I want to show you how you too can accomplish all of that. It is supposed to lend you an optimistic and leisure view to life itself, backed up by the facts of logic and science. My view is that optimism is more that the pure expectation that events will happen in the best positive way. A different concept from the obedient acceptance of God’s will, which knows better than we do why things happen the way they are. Optimism I want to show you is the very smiling optimism of god itself, who knows that everything happen exactly the way it should and the certainty that this will never change.

I want you to read this book without commitment. Step by step. If anytime during the reading you feel tired or get lost in what I am talking about, put the book away and take a rest. Do not pressure yourself to think about anything, but keep that thought which remained in your memory and maybe is troubling you. Do not rush to understand anything. Feel free to forget about the book completely. You will remember it when you need to, and continue to read it then. You could also read it as a novel. In that case, you will return on the parts you maybe did not fully grasp - when the right time for that comes.

And if you do understand me, write your own book – maybe you will succeed in explaining everything of this better than I did, and to the greater audience.

2. Warming up...

Let us draw a parallel

Let us start from the beginning.

Or, even better, let us start from the 16^th of February of the year 2001. The world of computer games awaits for the new game, similar to the one of „Diablo“, whose graphics is said to be un-comparably better then the ones seen in all the computer games so far. The only thing this new game will have in common with the last ones will be, of course, composition of the game by levels of hardness, the possibility of saving the heroes (so that we can use them again, the as we have them, when we start to play again from the beginning) and of course – the existence of the end of the game.

Let us think for a while, why exactly these are the basic game properties and why they are the groundwork of every acquiring and the more advanced game?

Levels of difficulty exist so we can “slowly get into it”, so that we can become prepared to solve more and more complex problems using our heroes, and so that the heroes, through the easier challenges, can slowly get stronger and become more ready for the bigger and greater challenges that lie ahead of them.

Let us remember playing any of such game. During the game, a few of our strongest heroes have usually proven themselves out, and they become the most important heroes to us (the player) – they are the ones that are above our other heroes, according to some of the qualities they posses. During the game, we will assign to them the hardest tasks that need to be accomplished, because it is most likely that they will perform them successfully. Of course, we will provide them with all our additional help they need, and will look after them more then we will of our “ordinary” heroes (who will be programmed to bring the resources needed for the progression of the game into the home base).

During the game, the player is the one “pulling the strings”, the one that leads the game. However, from the perspective of the characters (heroes) in the game, it can easily be said that the individual heroes are the ones facing the challenges. At the same time, by playing one game after the other, the player acquires the experience that helps him play the better game next time.

Player’s mind is the one memorizing the best solutions and then playing them in the following games.

In this way, a constant progress in playing the game is being accomplished – ever higher levels are being reached, with the aim of attaining the goal of the game, i.e. coming to the end of the game.

It is strange how the goal of the game is defined exactly by coming to the end of the same game.

Presuming that there is an end.

Now let us start from the beginning.

Let’s combine all the human attempts to explain the world that surrounds us – every religion and all the sciences; astrology, Buddhism, theory of reincarnation, spiritual development of the souls, cosmic justice, Vedic science, mathematics, modern physics … - into one.

Into one game.

Let the games begin

Every religion implies the existence of (at least one) higher being who created the world that surrounds us, and who is the source of the secret purpose of our existence. That being is responsible for everything that is going on around us, it knows better than we do the reasons why things happen the way they do. It is by all means above us, and if we pray to him frequently and faithfully enough, it will answer all of our prayers. That mysterious being has different names in different religions, but here we will call it only God.

Astrology tells us we are conditioned by the time and the place of our birth, and these factors set the templates of our behavior and our thinking. It says that there is a set of rules by which the events of life are taking place, and that certain rules at certain times are related to a particular set of people. Of course, some rules are sometimes applied to all the people. Rules that currently have impact on us (us being mankind) can always be ‘read’ from the positions of the planets of our Solar system and the Sun itself.

The theory of reincarnation teaches us that the same soul always returns in its different forms, passes through different experiences and, according to the law of cosmic justice, gets the destiny it deserved by its past behavior. The theory of spiritual development of the souls says that the souls (the indestructible parts of men) are coming back to earthly life until they reach a higher sphere of the spiritual growth. It is then that they are transferred to the other levels of existence, because in this world they passed through everything that could upgrade them.

Let us be generous

Let’s assume all of that is correct – that every one of those theories is the part of the truth. First we will make things as simple as possible.

What do we get then?

God is the one that did the programming of it all, for himself. God is also the one playing the game.

By the positions of the Sun and the planets, the program of the game is being written (thus being visible to us) and has been defined when the higher game levels are being reached.

We are, naturally, the heroes.

The spiritual development of the souls is no less then saving the hero’s properties, so they can be used over and over again during the game, even after they are being killed in the game.

Who plays the game?

If we like, for fun, we could even ask the following questions:

Who is the one really playing the games?

Does every one of us play its own game called “life”, while somebody else is hilariously entertained by the mixture of all of our games together?

Or maybe we are being navigated, instead by the computer mouse, by the set of rules that define us?

Or the rules leave us with the exact amount of freedom that the unexpected results can occur, to keep the fun in, so it will be interesting to see what we will come up with in the end?

Or we are all playing the same game called “let us define our reality together”?

Or…?

- Presuming that there is an end.

In that case, will the player get bored before even reaching the end? Or maybe he will run out of resources?

And should we believe in an end? And thus in the existence of the goal.

Because the goal of the game is contained exactly in the existence of its end…

3. So we have warmed up...

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

Marcel Proust

But what if there is no end? or Be prepared to lose the ground below your feet..

...But what happens if there is no end to the game?

And what if ... even the game itself… does not exist?

Hindu theory Ayurveda, the cradle of transcendental meditation, states that reality is just a way of looking at things – they exist as we know them to only as a creation of our own senses.

Therefore, it is solely by the way our senses were created (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell) that we create “the reality” surrounding us.

This theory surely needs to be explained a little further, so I will try…

Have you seen the movie “The Matrix”? Great! That will maybe make this job a little bit easier. A virtual world has been shown there, inside which the people “live”, but that “world” actually does not exist, it is just a picture created inside human minds, which is done by a program (“the matrix”) that sends electrical impulses directly into a human brain.

Because those impulses substitute the data that the senses send to the brain naturally, that virtual world is as equally “real” as the normal world that surrounds us every day, at least for those people whose brains “recognize” this world. The artificial world has been created this way, simply by sending data different to the one normally sent by our senses, to the brain.

Now, completely forget that you have ever seen the movie “The Matrix”, because everything else from it now can lead you down the wrong path from that which we want to go. If you are thinking “A reality exists, but it is different from the one which human brains recognize as real”, you are already on the “wrong path”, in respect to the one I am trying to show you.

I am only trying to explain here that the picture of our world (the world that surrounds us) has been created exclusively based on our senses – our world is completely defined by them and without us (human beings) created this way, our world simply “is not really there” - does not exist. Or, better said, it is equally real as every other possible world surrounding us at all times, which we have nothing to sense it with.

Furthermore, if we say that all the possible “worlds” exist, i.e. if we postulate that everything exists equally strongly, then the definition of existence itself has no meaning at all, because there is no such thing as non-existence.

I will try to explain here that reality does not become ”the real thing” just because we are able to sense it. If human being would have some sort of a sense that could recognize (”see”) the fifth, sixth,.., n-th dimension of space, such an n-dimensional world would, to us, be as equally real as this our world is real for us now. We could move all around it and explore it. We would be able to notice cause and effect relations inside such world.

Would that mean that such world “has become real“ in the moment we have perceived it? Does the fact that we are sensing that world makes it ”more real” then all the other worlds that could be perceived using senses different from ours? Or does everything exist equally ”real”? The conclusion that imposes itself is that a notion of “reality” has no meaning at all. We can discuss “our reality “, because we, as humans, live and function with the same images about the “reality” in all of our brains, but there is absolutely no point in debating whether our reality “is the real one”, or the only one that is really happening, or being exactly the one that has not been made up, but being “existed“ regardless of ourselves.

Well all right, but then… what does exist independent from ourselves?

Everything, i.e. nothing. Everything we can sense as existing - exists.

The number of possible realities is infinite. Everything exists as a potential reality, and nothing exists as the “actual reality”, as the one not being conditioned by the senses able to feel it.

Everything exists. Exists nothing. Thus the notion of existence itself has no meaning at all...

That means I cannot even tell of myself do I exist. Or do I not exist.

Everything around me does not exist. And has never existed for real. And could not ever exist. And could not not-exist. If, only for a moment, I neglect all of my senses, this “existence thing” becomes a word without any meaning at all.

We are thus faced with a paradox here: we are playing the game that really is not there.

- This is the moment when you will, if you understand what I am trying to explain here, “loose the ground below your feet”. You will get scared of your thoughts. Swallowed by the panic and fear, you will convulsively grasp the nearest object you can touch and repeat “this is a book, this is a book”, or whatever the object you are hold on to is. You will try to convince yourself that nothing has changed, that everything has remained the same. You will calm yourself down by your senses. And try to convince yourself of the opposite: that everything you have just read about and thought through is just absurd, and you will go and have something to eat.

If you did not feel any of such things, I suggest that you go back to the beginning of this chapter and try again to understand it. If still it is not working, I will try to write a new version of this book and explain better that which I am trying to say to you.

And if you did comprehend what I am talking about, and have felt the moment of panic and fear, or just slight discomfort (the more you truly understand you will get more scared), eat up and get back in front of the book, I promise you that this was “the scariest” truth to be found here.

All right? Everything is fine there? We can continue now? Ok!

The found truth

If you really have passed through the moment of panic and the revelation about the world that surrounds us, i.e. if you really comprehended how much the world we are familiar with is defined just by our own senses and by absolutely nothing but them, then you have just felt the basic fear, that you, sooner or later, were about to face with, anyway – during the moment of your own death. During death, your senses completely die off – the world you are accustomed to gets erased all around you. Your world disappears. But, we know that something that was not there in the first place, cannot even disappear.

Thus, instead of fearing death, we should be ready for the challenge of death (because sooner or late we all are going to die).

That challenge can be shaped into the following sentences:

“Will I be ready to quietly accept the state inside which everything is there and everything is not really there? The state where the idea of time has no meaning at all? The reality where there is only absolute, fulfilling, infinite peace, without any desire?”

Up to now, we have realized that all human beings share the same reality exclusively because of the fact that our senses are created in the same way – to every man his touch says that wood is solid, and water is liquid. That a ball is spherical and rounded to a touch.

That it is foreseeable our world is not going to fall apart as such, because we (as long as we live as humans) will be looking at it in the same way. (Are we?)

Those are the facts we know we can rely on, and based on them we can create any further, without ever thinking about them or rearguing them: we will not wake up one morning to find that our word looks different, for one simple reason – we, ourselves, will not change. (Are we?)

Our reality is just our frame inside which we operate. A machine for the execution of our proposed computer program. Nothing more and nothing less.

But why do all people share the same reality? Why is that all human beings are part of such a compact unity like our collective reality?

Well, because we are part of the same unity.

That unity we can easily see as the universal intelligence striving toward its own development – the evolution.

For this pure intelligence to develop, it needs to spread its feelers – to grow trough different lives and destinies, and face the numerous challenges that will create ever new solutions and thus lead to further evolution.

Yes, this universal intelligence reaches into many different – yet fully defined directions – by illusory being “divided” into “egoistic consciousness“ with “its own destinies”, i.e. by following precisely defined ways to explore for new ways of growth.

Under the “egoistic consciousness “, I assume those parts of intelligence that develop separately – every man represents one of that egoistic consciousness. Everybody is its own center, from where it starts. Everybody is the starting-point for one special direction of growth.

And if we think for a while, that is the only way the full development could ever be obtained: if the starting-point was not changed with every human being, the development could not be possible – all the different views of the problems could not be seen, nor all the solutions could be found. This “separation of consciousness” is essential, and every one of us has its own small, small task – to contribute to the development of the whole, under the predetermined sets of circumstances.

We are all one, but each of us has its own mission.

As soon as we figure this out, everything becomes so clear: to contribute to the whole, we must just improve ourselves. And that really is our prescribed mission here. Because the stronger any individual is, the stronger the whole becomes.

No one but ourselves can tell us what our mission here is, and which is the right direction our development should take place. In the ideal world, nobody would even try, but society and the roles people are playing in life (those of a child, a friend, a spouse, a parent, …) can lead down the wrong path and make people try to “open the eyes” of those around them. There is nothing more wrong, but more common then this in our today’s world!

This is the reason why it is necessary to understand that the main precondition for accomplishing your own task is to get armed with a big enough dose of courage, determination and steadiness, in order not to get distracted from your true path, and not to betray your own truth just to be in synch with the opinion of others.

And do not be afraid: there are no wrong answers. There are only answers.

The same as there are no wrong paths in life. There are only paths.

Why not go even further?

So, we came to a conclusion that the purpose of a human life is the development of the greater intelligence that reaches beyond the human beings itself.

What is keeping us from the other conclusion: that the purpose of all the life is also the development of (that same) intelligence? And that every “living thing” is just the more intelligent “non-living thing” – capable of accomplishing more complex problems then some non-living part of nature?

And that the whole purpose of absolutely everything (of living and of non-living nature) is also the development of that same intelligence?

And that precisely that is the point of the entire Universe that surrounds us?

That the Universe itself is created by intelligence, just to develop ever more intelligence?

That behind our whole Universe, is just another part of some even bigger intelligence, created to develop some even bigger module of intelligence?...

The only question left for us is:

What kind of this ultimate intelligence is capable of investing in a part of its development enough energy needed for a sequence of “big bangs” (Big Bang = the starting point from which our Universe was created)?

If our previous presumptions are correct, we can only start looking for the answers inside of ourselves. We can try to lift ourselves up beyond our narrow reality, and try to recognize inside of ourselves that which is infinite and all-compassing, which we were created from, in the first place.

The sure thing is that, until we are able to see the whole picture and uplift ourselves beyond our destinies, full of challenges that come our way whole of the time - we will not fully grasp the meaning of our lives. Maybe we will reach our goal (the growth), but we will not understand it fully.

At least not today. Not in this lifetime.

Let us finally merge all the theories into one...

Translated into language of any religion, God is that previously mentioned pure intelligence which is our base.

The existence of Jesus Christ in the Catholic religion shows us the possibility for a man to recognize the universal intelligence of which he is a part of, regardless of the limitations of the reality we perceive around us.

The same goes for the Mohammed in the Islamic religion.

The same thing can be applied to every other religion too. Each religion was, in fact, created when God (which is really part of every one of us), was recognized in some particular enlightened man. Then the name for that particular religion was made up, and the teachings of that enlightenment individual were written down, and the rules of that religion were thus formed. It is a great paradox that the biggest wars on this planet were fought about whose God is “the real one”.

Translated into the language of buddhism, the existence of Buddha also shows us the possibility of a man to find the universal intelligence inside himself. Buddhism and the teachings from India bring us even more interesting explanations. For instance, reincarnation and the karmic relationships between people.

Reincarnation is, as soon as we think about it, the most logical explanation, because it “works” if every small part of the intelligence (1 “soul” of man/woman) accomplishes the best results by adding up its experiences through more then one human life.

Karmic relationships amongst the people “are working” if the optimal number of levels, by which the intelligence for its evolution divides, is greater then two (i.e. if the intelligence is not being divided only into its smaller pieces that live through just one life and then return its growth back to the whole, but that smaller pieces of the intelligence are again being divided into even smaller parts of the intelligence, which gets to live through more than one human life.)

Karmic relationships between people exist inside that part of the intelligence that is smaller then the whole unit, but bigger then its smallest part, which has been divided into more human “souls”, and are gathering the experiences through more human lives, interacting with its own inclusive parts. So the people forming karmic relationships with each other are in fact parts of the same “group” intelligence, interacting with which other for the purpose of the development of their “group” intelligence.

The meaning of this is that people who are mutually connected by their fate (by a karma) simply belong, except to the whole system (the complete pure intelligence), also to their own subsystem (a smaller part of the whole intelligence), inside of which they are obtaining their goal: the development of their souls, in other words the intelligence, in some strictly defined direction, up until that same intelligence becomes aware of itself.

Let is also connect astrology with our way of thinking.

The intelligence, according to its definition, does not act non-intelligently. It knows in which direction it should be exploring to developing itself ever further. This knowledge the intelligence also uses in constructing the lives of human beings, and the rules according to which this development is taking place have been written (and visible to us) by the position of the Sun and the planets of our solar system.

Astrology has been developing during the history of man, in parallel with human civilizations. There was almost never a civilization where people did not try to explain the relations between the events, which they realized by observing the world surrounding them, by the sets of rules under which things happen the way they are. Each kind of astrology is based on the theory that destiny (the path a man has to go through in his life and the challenges he has to face and overcome) and the personal character of a man facing that destiny (which defines a set of the solutions this man will use for problem solving during his life), have been defined by the time and place of his birth.

Do we need to be surprised by that at all? What other parameters could possibly be used to describe us, if we are living inside this time-space continuum? Is it, in fact, logical to assume that we ourselves (who are existing inside of it) also have our own time-space coordinates that define us (or, at least, define our starting positions in life)?

When, if not at the beginning of our life, our character and our destiny could ever be specified? Don’t the starting values of the parameters always have to be defined at the beginning of a program? Of course, they could be changed later, but we initialize them at the beginning…

Yes, but why our character and our destiny should be defined in advance at all – why should we presume that anything is prescribed and preplanned at all?

Because, if we assume nothing is defined in advance, then the human life has no sense at all. End of story. If there is no goal every one of us has to reach through the fulfillment of its own destiny, then we are living by accident and we will die as such. Then we are not needed. The basic obstacle to such way of thinking lays in a pure fact that we are living, ‘cause nature has its own way of optimizing things: everything that is not necessary dies, because there is no point in making it living. If we are not using our hand at all, it will become completely dead after some time, because it become unneeded. If we are not needed here, then for the nature it would not be “worthy” to trade all those animals and plants we are eating just for us to be living.

Astrology in fact claims the conditions under which the human lives are executed are strictly controlled: there are no two identical men with two identical destinies – otherwise one of them would be useless.

But how the hell has this relationship between the locations of the planets and our human destinies being accomplished (implemented)? The Tibetan culture gave, in its explanations of reality (the philosophy called the Lamaism) one very logical answer on this question. According to that particular theory, the “astrological influences” are nothing but the cosmic waves being “colored” and changed by the planets which reflect them toward the Earth. Inside the book “The Third Eye”, written by the Tibetan writer T. Lobsang Rampa, the analogy of this connection with the process of getting photography is nicely described. With the help of camera and the daily light, it is possible to make a photo. Some filters, when put in front of the lens – or in front of the light – make it possible to accomplish some special effects on the picture: orthochromatic, panchromatic or infrared effects. Could the cosmic radiation, being “special effected” by the planets, work in the same way and make effects on people, either chemically or electrically? For me, this explanation sounds fairly interesting, especially when we remember that winds from Sun constantly blow through our entire planet system, getting us constant radiation flow from the Sun…

Seeing things this way, orbits and the measures of the planets of our Solar system could all be making strictly and precisely defined fine mechanism for the manufacturing of our “special effects” – our “life circumstances”. Everything is a little bit more complicated than putting a lens in front of the camera, but could the principle be just the same?

(But, if we introduce into this story the fractal geometry also – even this “hard to find” relation between us, the planets and the entire Universe is not so hard to find – because fractal structures are being created in precisely a way that the smaller parts of the picture are only repeating the structure of the bigger parts of the picture inside of themselves, and the bigger parts are repeating the structure of the whole inside of themselves… which leads us even further: to the rule of the Golden section that is being incorporated inside each and every part of the nature and also leads us to ourselves. Well, it has been written that God created us according to his own picture!

But, let us move further.. or maybe closer…)

Time and existence

We have talked about senses before.

Man has five senses, and everybody knows it.

I want you to think for a while about that. Does man have any more sensors, besides those basic ones (eyesight, hearing, smell, taste and touch)?

Let us look at the “timer” or our internal watch.

Does it seems to you that it is not a sensor? Well, with it we feel the reality, the same as with our eyesight – it helps us not to get lost in the mess that surrounds us, from which we are taking as much information as we are capable of processing, and assembling it into a unit.

We know or feel that the rock is firm? Is there a firmness of a stone unrelated to our perception of “the firmness”? Do we know or feel that yesterday’s events had happened?

If our reality, being as we sense it to be, is just the reflection of our senses, is not the flow of time also a part of such a reality? Do we not feel what had happened before, what is happening now, and what will happen tomorrow?

Is intuition just a small irregularity in the operation of that sense of ours, when it suddenly seams like we have already felt some future event, although it has not really “happened” yet?

Yet Einstein has proved that time is relative – that time is not at all the property of the world we used to think it was (the way it naturally seamed to be). Time is not flowing like a river. It cannot be represented by a numeric strain.

Does time ever flow? Independent from our perception of the time passing by?

Of course it does not.

The flow of time is just the definition of the event order. (Event = the point in space which has, besides the space coordinates, also its time coordinate).

If that order would be defined in some different way, it would be equally logical to die first, and at the end get born. Or first to be born, then to die, and then to start going to school.

Let us think for a while why the flow of time has been defined in the first place? Why is it important at all to know what happened before and what after? It is logical to conclude that the only thing that matters is just the relative respect between the events, i.e. the only purpose of the ordering is to know what happened before of what. But why would it be important to know that? Well, because the events are mutually conditioned, linked by a cause-and-effect type of relationship.

Now I ask you: ‘why is the order of events (the relationship defining the order) defined just the way it is? If events are mutually dependent, that does not mean that the flow of time has to be defined so that the effects are happening after their causes, i.e. the order could freely be defined in any other way, without changing the connections between the events!

The only conclusion is that the flow of time is defined the way it is, so that we are able to notice and understand the cause-and-effect relations between the events.

The flow of time is just the way people notice cause-and-effect relations between the events! The flow of time is just the illusion that helps us connect the events by their mutual connections.

Time is just one dimension of the event. The time coordinate is just the data telling us how to order events by their mutual relations. It is as equally meaningless is to say that time is flowing, as it is to say that for any other set of values.

In our world, the relation of ordering in our time-space continuum is defined as: (causes)<(effects), and that is why we are first aware of the causes, and later of their effects. What is completely natural to us and what seams like the only possible solution.

(For the mathematicians: The effect is a function of the causes, i.e.

l(causes) ×f = effect, where the f is a function that calculates the result of the action of the certain causes.

But logically, the ordering we could also be defined as (effects)<(causes), which would mean that we would first be aware of the effects, and then of the causes that caused them. The only difference in such case would be that we could not be able to discover which causes have lead to a specific effect, (because that same effect could have also lead to a different set of causes, so there is no such function f^(-1) that could give us the exact set of causes).

In the world that surrounds us, in every moment of our lives, we are making some choice (such as if we are going to walk or to stay on a street, if we are going to drink a glass of water or not, which job we are going to choose etc.), and thus, we are choosing the specific set of conditions that lead us to the strictly defined consequence that is connected to that condition.

But what happens if every possible set of conditions and its effects exist simultaneously (i.e. do not exist)?

What if we can draw an analogy between the reality around us (and the fact that it exists and does not exist at the same time, i.e. that the notion of existence has no meaning whatsoever), and the events that are happening?

Then the effects, of all the possible causes, are simultaneously fulfilled, i.e. unfulfilled. We, by choosing the conditions (the causes), are in fact choosing that one effect of those causes to see and we pronounce it “the one that has happened”, although all the effects, of all the possible causes, have happened, i.e. have not happened, equally real!

Then there is also a net of all the possible causes and connected to it the net of effects that is connected to their causes. All the possible causes and the consequences connected to them have happened, i.e. have not happened, equally real. The concept “to happen” has no meaning at all, just like the concept “to exist”.

Now follows one big question for us:

If everything has been defined already, if all the causes lead to specifically definite effects, and if for any event it cannot be said if it has happened or not (because everything happened simultaneously or nothing happens at all, by which the notion of the “happening” looses its meaning), then we are not able to influence anything and we cannot “change the reality”, as we like to think we can. Our every action does not create anything new and we cannot improve anything around us, in any way. All the possible choices and all the results of such choices already exist (or do not exist) equally strongly and independent of any choice we make.

Does it mean that our existence has no meaning at all?

NO, that does not mean our existence has no meaning, but it leads us to something a lot more profound and, in a way, an opposite to our complete thinking so far!

Please have an open mind, ready for changes, because here comes the most important part:

We do not exist to change the reality, but the reality exists to change us!

That is the main truth.

Many times during the history of humans, the starting point of the view has been changed, in the attempt to explain the reality surrounding us. First, the Earth was considered the center of the Universe, then the Sun was the center, then we understood the Sun is just a regular star in a completely ordinary galaxy, such as the uncountable number of others inside the Universe. First, our reality was the 3-dimensional space, then the 4-dimensional space-time continuum. Every new view has brought us something completely new and has broadened our perspective about the consciousness and of our place related to the reality around us.

I am offering you a new view on reality. It makes you look further and deeper then reality itself, and requires you to think and recognize the truth on your own. I can show you the road, but you need to walk down it. I can help you by asking the right questions, but you are the one who has to think the answers through. Because it is only a matter of you and your consciousness. It is needed to shift the starting point onto yourself, onto your deepest thoughts. The Hindu theory Ayurveda says that the real you occurs in the emptiness between your thoughts. The real, eternal, independent-from-reality ‘You’ begins where all your thoughts, connected with the world that surrounds you, perish. That real ‘You’ has also been called by your “subconscious”.

Let us think back for a second to playing our game from the beginning. The analogy with the game here would say that we are the one playing the game: our memory stores the recorded results of all the games played. The only thing that really changes by playing is our own brain that records the best solutions, so it can use them again, so that the next time during the play it could go further.

But if we are also the heroes from the same game, how do we make peace between those two roles? Easily, since we are people, we have not been directed by a mouse, but directly by the intelligence of the player – each of us encompasses the player’s own intelligence and we use it to solve the problems that we encounter. But, the intelligence that has been “shared” to everyone is unique, and it is the only one that develops always. Each progress of the particular hero, contributes to the progress of the entire intelligence.

We have come far. In comparison with our thinking from the beginning of the book (me as a writer, and you as a reader), I think we have passed a good portion of the road.

There is still a small step waiting for us, on our path to the goal, which is to a complete knowledge.

But before that, I want to emphasize that a lot of writers, theologians, philosophers, physicists, metaphysicians, astrologers, psychologists, mystics and the other people desperately in need for a meaning, during the human history, have come to this same/similar conclusion we have come to here. All of them have tried to describe this same thing, and I , not being one of them, did not manage to understand a bit by reading through their text! Had I did not come to this truth by myself, all of their books could not take me to it.

Why?

Because every one of them (at least the ones whose work I am familiar with), strictly avoids common sense, the logical thinking, the intelligence, as the worst thing to hang on, as the thing that can only mislead a man from the path to the knowledge. Every one of them had more of a hint of a solution, other than the proof that can be deduced from the logical facts. That is why people, at least the realistic people, who have ‘discovered’ the logic as I have, could not ever believe them. Until now, everything has really been a question of “faith”!

Religious truths are the unproved theories, to which someone has a hint that they are truthful. Why should we ever believe in something when it is a contradiction to our own common sense?

Here I tried to come to a logical conclusion. I am not asking you for your faith, nor I am including your ungraspable soul to lead you to the point. All I ask is for your common sense and pure logic, and the time for thinking about it. The grasping of your soul (the spirit, the real You, the universal intelligence) is a goal, and not the path to the goal as they have tried to convince you all along.

(For the mathematician: until now, the spirit of man (the soul) has been defined as something that can only be known by the spirit. That means that the path to the goal can be known only when the goal itself has already been known, which is a contradiction.)

There is still one more step to be taken.

The last thing we concluded was that reality does not exist because of us, but for our (spiritual) growth and development.

And we also know that We are precisely that omnipotent intelligence controlling everything, the real one.

So? Well, who else could ever know what kind of a reality will do the most for your own development! Who else creates the “reality” if not ourselves!

As a humans we are developing as the segregated parts of that consciousness (so that every one of us can develop it even more, in some specific direction). Who else could create your own reality (life challenges, problems you are going to deal with, meetings with the people that will help you in your growth)… but you yourself?

In order to embrace such a view on a life, some other conclusions are also necessary. Such as that the categories “fortunate” and “unfortunate” life circumstances, the sadness and the joy for anything “happening” in life, are equally meaningless. Because everything has just one purpose – your development – and thus cannot be negative. If you manage to find the peace and the happiness inside of yourself, the bliss (different concept then the joy), complete calmness that cannot be disturbed by anything happening around you, then you have reached your goal, “the enlightenment” and then you can start helping others to reach it too.

Once you get to realize that the sorrow, suffering, thrill, joy and wishes are just the directions that show you if you are on a right track of your growth – in fact nothing but a little stronger expressions of the “right” and “left” – you become free of their influence. They are no longer needed by you.

The best way is to compare our soul with a big peaceful lake: the bigger the stone which falls into the lake is, the bigger the ripples it produces. To “become enlightenment” means not to let any stone change the surface of our lake, which can only be done by managing to lift up above the reality.

By accomplishing that, we have reached the end – and the goal. No reality is needed anymore. Because we have vanquished it.

***

But what if the definition of time is not so obvious as it seams to us? What if time cannot be described at all by the “arrow of time”, flying towards the increasing of the total sum of the system entropy? What if time can only be described as a structure represented by a circle with just one designated point, the point of the beginning-ending? Time can only be defined by a self-reference – it can not be defined by anything what would be “before“ the beginning of time, or anything “after“ the end of time.

That would mean the universe is not expanding or will ever get contracted, the time will never end or it can ever begin – that everything just IS.

0 = n

The end is simultaneous with the beginning.

What then?

Well, nothing really! To us, that is completely irrelevant! Because as soon as we understand the reasons why something is defined as it is, everything else is just the shades.

The life without the goals

As soon as I mention a life without goals, every man will automatically revolt against such a life. Everybody, with no exceptions, wants some kind of progress, and inside that progress sees the goal of his life. To take the goals away from a man means to leave him shelterless in storm, in the middle of a cruel and seemingly hopeless battle against the meaning of life.

I want to take away from you all your goals, to cast down all your shields against the emptiness. Because the real purpose of life is not, as Camus has said, to imagine Sizif happy inside his meaningless life struggle. The real goal is to lift up, above the struggle itself and to start laughing at its transparent illusion.

Life without fear

As soon as you understand the reality you are in, as the way it truly is, you will not be afraid of anything anymore. You will never be scared of anyone or of anything anymore!

There begins your life without a fear.

Anything you used to be afraid of, now you can see only as the gifts. Your whole life is fulfilled, overflowing with the gifts destined just for you.

You won a million of dollars playing lottery? It is clear to you it is a gift.

You have won a deadly disease? It is not clear to you that is a gift.

But, it is a gift – you have been offered, again, that what you need! The necessity to get out of the dead road of your development, which you have found yourself in, has been forced upon you - you can either fight and win over your own self or you can die. Both solutions are equally “good”. The intelligence is not alive; it cannot die either.

As soon as you realize that you (that which you truly mean when you say “I”), are exactly that indivisible one, the omnipresent intelligence and nothing more or less then that, you cannot be afraid of death or life anymore. Actually, it will become funny how much fuss is made about nothing.

Before you thought you are unfortunate if something “bad” hit you, if something is not happening the way you wanted and you thought it should. And it felt frustrating that always, but just !%#! always, something is about to go wrong and spoil every one of your plans (that is why the funny Murphy’s law and its numerous derivatives were invented – “Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong!”). You were not able to realize your absolute and unchangeable luck, and you wanted to be happy!

Luckily, as long as you are completely dived into your love and destiny, as long as you are separated from everything around you and you are seeing the world from your little shell (hidden inside the ideas like “your ego”, “your personality”, “your body”) – there is an intelligence more clever then you, that knows better then you do what you need for your development. You have always been and you will always be pushed forward to accomplish greater goals then the ones you set for yourself. The goals? Hoy, why should the intelligence care for any kind of goals you could ever reach? Haven’t we already told you we should give up on all the goals in our life?

Of course, it is not the goal that counts, but the resolution of problems that are presented on the way to any goal itself. Every goal, by itself, is completely irrelevant! The only important thing is your growth that unwraps on your way to the goal.

I shall try to explain it this way:

Let us say you are lost in the desert. You see an illusion of water that is away water – you are seeing a mirage. If you do not know it only looks like there is the water there, that non-existing water will become your goal. It is an illusion, but it launches you forward anyway. It is something imagined that pushes you forth. And your belief that you can reach your goal itself, will give you the strength to move on and face the problems that come your way.

Your every goal and all of your wishes are just the illusions created to motivate you to move forward and to deal with certain problems.

Think for a while: how would you otherwise motivate the people to attain their achievements?

I have to admit that I have always enjoyed solving problems. That is way is studied mathematics at the first place. You do not get to learn maths for practical reasons, but for pure pleasure. You do not have to believe me, but nothing can give you more joy then the moment when you solve a task – when the impossible becomes possible. That what seemed insoluble just a split second ago, suddenly becomes soluable. During the resolution of any mathematical equation, the same creative process of pure intelligence that resides behind everything that has been created around you, is present.

Everything, everything around you is a part of your task. To resolve it correctly, you need to read it and understand it first. Nothing is unneeded and nothing is missing, you have everything you need within your reach!

To not have any goals means to solve your equation. To solve your equation means to live without fear - fear of grievance, misfortune and death.

To live leisurely

Can we give some kind of a practical purpose to the fact we have understood that everything, but really everything, around us is happening with the reason? Well, of course we can.

When we become aware of all the causes, it is quite easy to predict their consequence, it is very simple to realize what we are asked to do, and then just add a little something to the whole equation and come to exactly where we wanted to be. All the help you need is right there around you. All the traces that show you the way are just flashing in your life right now.

Something had happened to you because of what, before, you would become all messed up? Got angry? Got sad?

Do not despair – just smile and peacefully think for a while – what is it all about? WHAT is that you just need to see here and learn from that, that you need to bind into a unit and build into yourself? I know it is not easy to shut down all your instinctive reactions and you as a individual, to quietly observe what is happening to you, but it is the only way to truly understand what is going on here, otherwise you are just staying the unconscious leaf carried around by a stormy wind, incapable of seeing the direction of its journey: gloomy. It seemed for a second that it compassed its path, and then the wind has changed. Again...

Your ego, your identity of a person separated from everything else, is your child, your artificial creation. You yourself are its creator and its parent. You have created your virtues, your faults, your life circumstances and moved on into an adventure you haven’t been tasted yet. One more life of one more human being. One more hero in the game, with its own mission.

If, like the majority of men, you think life is hard, simply stop living hard. Start your light, sweet living. To live leisurely means to live being aware. You can be sure that you will always have everything you need – the happiness and the sorrow, the health and the disease, the life and the death.

Be careful here: I am not saying all of your wishes will come true just because you wanted them to. I am saying that what will happen is exactly what you need to happen to you! And the closer you get to yourself, i.e. to the origin and the source of everything, the more your wishes are going to be fulfilled. Why? Just because you will be more aware of what you really need, and your wishes will start to reflect your true necessities.

The whishes of people that are far away from the truth are like the “deceits” they need to use against themselves to make themselves realize some important lessons (unfortunately, it always goes through some accident, sadness, sorrow, illness). Such wishes are aroused: not to be fulfilled, but - not to be fulfilled. They are like giving the bitter medicine on a spoon, that the parent is trying to give to the kid: “Come on, taste it, one spoon for a mommy, it tastes real good... one more for a daddy...”. Naturally, when the kid swallows the medicine, he realizes it does not taste good, that it is bitter and repulsive, but the medicine will cure him anyway.

***

“I am a creature that has whishes, therefore I am a creature of incompleteness; I am a creature that has been mistaken, therefore I am the one not possessing the absolute truth.”

Rene Descartes

***

As long as you have wishes, you need them. The pure existence of your wishes, by itself, is the indicator that you have not been united yet with yourself – still there is a path you must get through, but on your voyage you are completely secured. You are the one holding yourself under your wing through your adventure.

Stop being scared – just for a moment. In that one eternal moment without a fear awaits you everything you could ever imagine your final encounter with yourself.

You do not have to believe that one or the other God will bring you what you need. Be absolutely shure that you alone will bring that – to yourself. There is nothing anywhere but you.

THERE IS NOTHING ANYWHERE BUT YOU!

Nameless

I do not have a name anymore.

My body, my character, all the data about my life cannot describe me anymore. They do not even connect to me. Everything by which you could recognize me so far can help you only to understand my interface – (the way I communicate) with the world that surrounds me.

The fact that I am 27 years old does not mean anything except that this body was created before that many years. The fact that I look this way can tell you just from what direction my thoughts can launch out toward you.

No words that describe the reality we see around us can define me.

All my roles I played in this lifetime (of the child of my parents, of the sister, the wife, the friend, the acquaintance, the college,...), have brought me to the goal and thus for me became what they have always been – the illusions, which were real as long they had a reason to seem real.

Not to be mistaken: I am functioning as good as before, for me it is nothing easier that letting the reactions attuned with my character role on, I can quietly ”participate” in the events around me, but at that same time I am constantly aware of the illusion inside which we all move around, ”living”, developing. The same as, if you learn how to walk, you do not need to think about it anymore (”here comes a left foot, then the right one, the arm goes forward, then the backward,… ”), in that way I am living my life wholely, effortlessly, so very easily.

I want to help everyone to understand, although it is hard, because everybody lives their little life and has no courage, the willingness or the ability to face the truth.

The only thing I feel is empathy. If you have ever felt empathy towards a hungry, wet, stray cat and wished to help her, then you know what I am talking about. Everybody struggles, more or less successful, with their life. With problems, poverty, impecuniosities of love, with their illnesses, fear of death, fear of life, absence of meaning. The most happiest people are those who will tell you “The beauty of life is in small things!”. But it is not. The beauty of life is in the knowledge that no things exist! And the fact that we, as human beings, are able to understand that!

Complete happiness cannot come through the granting of your wishes, because your every wish can be defined as “I want to have…” more love, more things, more time, more friends.

Peace and the happiness can be grasp only from the realization that there is nothing you can have! From the state of being without wishes.

To me, no one can give anything. Nothing can be taken away from me because I do not need anything. Nothing can be had, nothing can be given, nothing can be taken. Nothing really exists.

As soon as you rise to the truth, You can do anything. And at that same moment you do not want anything, because the real You is the one controlling everything around you. You are the one that brings you suffering to show you the right path. You are that only intelligence knowing better then any man trapped inside his body and defined by his character. You are omnipotent.

Try to feel that your name is an illusion. That it cannot describe you. That nothing that relies on the reality around you can define you. You are not just one human organism with an ego and consciousness. You do not have xy years. You are not the body looking back at you from the mirror. Your character does not define you. The roles you are playing in life are just roles. You are free to move the starting-point of your consciousness out of your body – it is not static. As soon as you stop needing it, your ego will stop to exist – you are the one managing everything, the one bringing himself all the suffering, sadness and the pain. Your subconsciousness is trying to get you to the truth, through suffering and problems. Show you things the way they really are.

We are all nameless. We cannot even have names, because names were created so that we can differentiate between ourselves. But we do not differ. Behind the whole reality as we know it, is just one and only one intelligence. You. Me. Us. Except it forms different appearances to develop even more.

In that sense, you (1 human organism) are not You. In that sense You are the same as everything you see around you, as well as everything you do not see. The names cannot point to You.

I do not have a name anymore. I have reached the goal: the final peaceful state with no wishes. The only thing that could ever be my further assignment is to try to bring you here as well. Please make the effort to take the time to thinking about this – I know you have “a lot to do”, and that “ life is short”, but once when you realize, you will know that everything you are in a hurry to accomplish is totally irrelevant. That nothing will happen to you if you slow down. That nothing could ever “happen”. That life is not short, because time does not flow. Because you are not going to die. Because you are not even living.

You cannot die, just as you cannot live!

Life is nothing but a fine mechanism of learning. The suffering, pain, sorrow, joy, fear, wishes, thrills, are here just to teach us something. But, if you really take a good think about everything – there is a shortcut that could lead you to the goal. Think. Try to understand what I am trying to tell you. And then the pain, the sadness, the suffering, the fear, even the joy, will not be needed to you anymore!

To live means to focus your mind inside your body and move it, according to your thoughts. To die is to look further then your body and wonder how you could ever think that you are “living”. Wondering about the borders that you forced on yourself and that you believed in.

Death is nothing but a passing from a state where you believe you are living, into a state where you know that you have never been living in the first place, but just learning all of that time, in same pretty persuasive way.

As soon as, in your thoughts, your ego stops to exist, life and death become two identical notions. You are no longer defined by your body and its endurance. You have put down your last mask and have played successfully the last role you needed in your carrier.

In that sense I have died already. My body lives, moves and communicates with its surroundings, but to me it is no longer needed. My ego does not exist anymore. It has melted with everything around me into an undividable whole. There is no point in trying to address me as a person, because a man without any personal goals is not really a person.

What kind of a man is a man with no personal goals? Yes, what kind of a man?

People are just defined by their selfishness – by a wish to make their dreams come true. As soon as a man does not wish anything for himself – he stops being a man. He automatically turns into a God, who can do anything.

Here is a case of a similar paradox as the one related to love (the love we are feeling toward others we actually give to ourselves) – as soon as a man stops being selfish, in that very moment when he really does not want anything for himself – he gets everything, i.e. realizes that he has always had it all. This is because everything around you is also you. Everything has always been yours.

I cannot have whishes and goals like all the people around me have anymore. I cannot want to have a child, because all the children are my children. I cannot not help someone, because everyone is just a part of me. Anything you can imagine, I have it. The same as you already have it all. There is absolutely no difference between me and you – me and you, as two different persons, we are just pieces of the same colored picture we draw for ourselves.

Did you finally understand that everything that has been happening in life is based on the same principle – what you manage to transcend and overbear, becomes yours?

Transcend yourselves and you will feel the love for others, which will again help you. Transcend your personal wishes and you will be given anything you could ever wish for. By living, you are simply – learning, and all the learned syllabus becomes yours.

We now know that all those old, basic truthful sayings , can be written in a different way:

“Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to you.” = “There are no others. There is only you. Anything you do to someone, you are doing it directly to yourself.”

“Give and it will be given to you.” = “Giving and receiving are the same thing. When you give, you are giving directly to yourself.”

In fact, if I think a little harder about that, it is not completely true that I do not have wishes. I have one more wish: a wish to move totally from a human body. To me it is no longer needed. To someone else, that is hard to grasp and receive, but I am really peacefully happy knowing that my wish will be, sooner or later, made true. As long as I live, I will live for the others. But I will die for myself.

Paradoxical again, but merely when you start loving death like I do, you will be able to love the life as I do – because life and death are indecomposably connected: if you do not truly enjoy in one of them, you will not be able to truly enjoy the other.

For me, it does not matter how long I need to wait for a realization of that -my only wish: I am patient enough, and besides, I will need a countable number of years to successfully explain to you everything I am supposed to…

Life after death?

So far, I have talked about the death, that I want it as a final liberation from the illusion I have already overcome. I have told you that I died already. I have told no one could die for real. I have told no one could live for real, either... all in all, I have told a bunch of stuff that most people will not get at first.

I know that many people, when they read this book (and do not quite get it) will want to ask me a question that, for the majority of people signs the top of philosophical- religious-moral thinking: do I believe in live after death?

My only answer can be like this:

- I do not believe in death, nor do I believe in life. Life and death are just the ostensible ones, two faces of the same illusion, the start and the end of the same book to be read. Time is just the way the pages of that book are marked.

According to this, for me the notion itself of the ”life-after-death” has no meaning at all, it is completely absurd.

And if you think it over a little bit more, such a conclusion is deduced by itself. A big majority of people (I have read somewhere around a 90 % of the human kind) believes in some sort of a ” life after death”, in other words, in a way believes in its immortality. This kind of belief really negates death as such.

Well, is it not obvious that the negation of death, at the same time, negates life, too? Life is only defined by its opposition to death. If there is no end, that mean there is no beginning. If you cannot die, that means you cannot live either.

For people it is much easier to accept the fact that they cannot die, then the fact that they cannot live, although it is one and the same.

To vanquish death means to at the same time vanquish the life. To conquer life means ”reaching the enlightenment”, i.e. to start laughing at an illusion that has been deluding us for so long…

So, will you be ”living” even ”after” your ”death”?

Love as a way to the truth

Have you ever loved somebody so much, that there were moments when you were absolutely sure that the goal of everything surrounding you was just the unification of you with that person?

That it is just the end and purpose of the game you are playing?

That after that, all reality will vanish because it will become unnecessary?

If you did, I am sure you thought that your union will be accomplished, you will fall madly in love with each other, get married, have kids, raise them, die and be buried together.

Am I right?

But, let us take a better look...

During such a “unification“ your reality did not quite vanish, maybe it even got stronger – the coming of children and your attachment to them only made your reality more important then it was before. No goal has been reached. Everything around you did not become unnecessary. Does it mean your intuition cheated on you, with the only purpose being the prolongation of mankind?

No. Intuition rarely cheats.

Love is the path to the real truth.

If you feel real love and scratch deep, deep inside of it, without repressing of your intuition that is telling you your merging with the one you love is precisely the goal of everything that surrounds you – you can understand everything. At the end of that road awaits the truth – the knowledge that you already are at one with the person you love. In addition, you automatically get to know you are at one with everything you see around you, as well as with everything you do not see. And in the moment of revelation, when you get truly unified with the person you love so very much, the reality around you becomes unnecessary.

You defeated it. After your unification “the reality” has disappeared, it becomes just an illusion, because you no longer need it for your development. You have found the truth.

Love does not exist because of “the protection of a species”. Each love is the road to the truth. It does not matter if you love some other person (your lover, a child, the parents, a brother, a sister, a friend,...), animals, some naive beauty (the sea, the mountains, the wood,...) or on object (maybe your house, car or a computer) – as long as you love strongly enough and unconditionally, with that love that does not ask for anything, but just gives.

There are no different kinds of love. There is just love.

By giving your love, you are doing the most you can for yourself. Every love you give can lead you closer to the final truth, to the ultimate unification with everything around you. To the your realization. To the your waking up (by the way, the word ‘Buddha’, stands for in Buddhism for a realized man, means “awaken” in Buddhism).

Love can never be given. Love can never be taken away. The only true love you could ever have is the one you feel for others. If you are lacking love in your life, try to feel it toward the world that surrounds you – that is the only way to fill your life with love.

It maybe seems complicated and paradoxical at first, to claim that only by giving love you can receive love. But it is not, it is almost too simple, as soon as you apprehend that the love in fact cannot be given; that no one ever can give you his love, or can take the love you are feeling away from you – everything is really so trivial. The love you are feeling toward others you, in fact, are giving only to yourself.

You are absolutely the only one who can ever give you love!

At the end it seams like the love is, in its essence, the selfish feeling – it can help only your personal development and no one’s else’s. Only you could ever truly feel it. The only unselfish thing about the love is the fact that you need to get over your selfishness to bring it to yourself.

The real love you can recognize as the love to which is irrelevant is it “reciprocated“ or not.

It asks for nothing. It does not turn into a suffering when it is not replied to. Such love we are still calling the “unconditional” love. Its only purpose is to try to get you to the truth. To the knowledge you are the same as everything around you.

So, the saying that love moves the world is in this sense correct.

Love has been born naturally in all of us, independently of our conscious will: we are not able to oppose it, nor can we can feel it by force. It is the natural way that leads us to success: to the victory over the illusion of the reality descended on us.

Love is pushing the world in the direction of its destination: the final and complete enlightenment. Give it a chance and it will take you away... away from yourself. It will make you realize that every border around you has just been drawn at will, every line you fenced around yourself is non-existent. Nothing but your own fear stops you from putting away your borders – they exist only until you need them to!

:-)

“One day a farmer called up an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician and asked them to fence of the largest possible area with the least amount of fence.

The engineer made the fence in a circle and proclaimed that he had the most efficient design and that no one could ever build something better then him.

The physicist made a long, straight line and said to the engineer:

- You are wrong, because if we take enough amount of wood, we can fence one half of the Earth, and that is, for sure, the largest possible area we could ever fence of...

The mathematician just laughed at them. He built a tiny fence around himself and said:

- I declare myself to be on the outside.”

Children

I will come back to the question of having children. People usually want to have children - because of themselves. They simply have that need. And because of it they are feeling very unselfish. I do not need a child, but I will have it – if it needs me.

When I go outside for a walk, I see life all around me: children walking with their parents, bunches and bunches of men and children entertained with their lives. Most of them somehow manage to miss the understanding that each of them has its role as a teacher and the disciple.

It is obvious and commonly understandable that the parent teaches his child about life, i.e. that the child learns from his parent how to survive, until it becomes capable for a detached life. What is not so obvious is the real role of the child as a teacher.

A child teaches his parent to be joyful and fascinated by the existence of life itself and of the whole world around us, through his enchantment by everything that surrounds him. He has just passed from the “non-existence” into a “existence” and to him it looks fascinating, as it really is, that everything is so real to him: the things around him now he can touch, see, taste, smell, hear!

The grown ups take “for granted” or “given by God” the creative act of generating that has led to the fact that our universe is organized in such a complicated way, and, what is the most insane, is that it feels so “real”. They do not think about that anymore. They do not have a time, or a reason, they have important duties that prevent them from that.

A child is here to remind a parent of what he has already lost trying to survive: the knowledge about the real nature of things. A parent’s engrossment in concrete life problems has dragged him away from the true meaning of his life. Children are here to warn him and to give him a boost that, consciously, in the middle of this material world and, for a parent incontestable existence, will make him realize the truth and to starts to admire everything he has created by himself.

Children instruct their parent on one more lesson.

Unfortunately, it looks like most of the people, by themselves, are just not capable to transgress themselves and their needs, their wishes, pretensions and fears, enough to feel an unconditional love - to feel real love towards someone or something, without help from the outside, is indeed a rarity.

But, help from the outside exists –the birth of his own children is precisely the vehicle by which men helps themselves in their development. The very own child usually naturally creates the feeling of the unconditional love and the unity with him. From that point on, his unity with everything that exists and everything that does not exist, is just a step away - the unity with himself.

Nature as a way to the truth

One way that can help you to truly realize your essence is to feel the connection with the nature around you. Surely there is a part of nature that you really enjoy; the sea, the mountains, the rivers, the woods, the meadows, the animals, the plants, the shells, the rocks, the sun, the rain, the snow, the stars...

Try to hear what they are speaking to you about. But truly – hear. Pretend that, by some sort of a miracle, you learned the language of the part of nature that you enjoy the most. It could be the sea, a mountain, a river, the rain or anything else. Just listen. Nature has a lot to say to you. Let it.

Assume that you are speaking the same language and just listen. Through the whisper of the waves, the rain drops, the wind in the trees – if you listen carefully enough – you will hear your thoughts. Your very own deepest thought, overlaid with the worries for your life and your plans for your future.

If you are interested in what will happen to you, ask any part of nature,

because you already know the answer is – what will happen is precisely what you need to happen.

Let the nature around you to talk to the nature inside you, and you will hear the answers to all of your questions.

If you are searching for knowledge, you can learn everything from nature

I like the sea the most. From it you can learn anything that can be learned at all. It can help you to feel inside of you its unlimited strength, its steadiness, immutability and eternity. The sea is the cradle of life itself, it is the home that helps all the creatures to live; it can teach you about kindliness towards all life forms. You can learn its indifference too, because nothing could ever disorder the eternal peace of the sea itself. All the changes and destinies are just shallow up and unimportant; all the conversions are just the luxury of the appearing forms.

If you have ever watched some beautiful part of the countryside, let us say the sea, white clouds, blue sky, sunny landscape... and amazed you thought: ”There is nothing more wonderful I could ever imagine!” – surely you were not aware how truthful your sentence was! If You could imagine something nicer, You would have imagine it, i.e. you would created it! The nature around you is beautiful – You made it that way! Looking at the beauty of nature you are allowed to yell “How gorgeous I am!”, because You are all that. All the perfection of shapes, colors and smells around you, is Your work. Be proud. Treasure everything you have created, because everything around you is also You.

The shortest definition of the truth

I dreamed of the shortest definition of the truth:

- Men are like the grains of sand, and reality is a perl-shell. Every grain of sand will some day be turned into a pearl. Completed pearls are taken from the shell and added to the necklace of knowledge, where they will remain strung forever.

I can hardly wait.

”On fire

Uncertainty of the future

Most of the people are troubled about the future most of the time, the uncertainty of what will happen, the fear that their plans will never be realized, the worries about the health of their loved ones, the worries about their job, the worries about the destiny of our planet, the worries...

If you are a part of that majority, maybe you are even convinced that that kind of thinking is positive and necessary, because it forces you to act in the right direction and thus you are helping the realization of your plans.

You are mistaken, because the future does not exist – and will never exist.

All there is, is this one present moment; if you miss it – you would miss everything you have. That moment will not be more essential tomorrow then it is today. It does not pay to postpone it for years, because all the years spent in some future moment are nothing but the lost years.

Everything you need now, you have it now – everything you will need in ‘the future’ you will have when it becomes your present.

It is that simple.

Everything you have and everything you will ever have, in every moment, is precisely what you need! If you have problems, that means that you need them – try to find your lesson inside them and then learn them.

I will give you a piece of practical advice on how to stop thinking about the future: every time you got overwhelmed by worries about the future, when you torture yourself to make the right decision, then when you would do anything to just know what will happen to you – I sincerely recommend that you to simply throw the nearest glass on a floor! It will, most likely, get broken loudly into a lot of small pieces and will show you that the only thing there is, is the present moment, and it is the only one worth thinking about.

And if somebody is there to help you collect the pieces, he is there for a reason.

Find your own traces on your path to the truth. Break your own glasses. Break up your own illusions.

Gifts

Picture the following situation: someone has brought you a bottle of champagne. While you were carrying it into the kitchen, it fell out of your hands and broke. The champagne has permeated throughout a huge part of a room, and has left you with wet stains and a sharp smell, as well as small pools full of tiny pieces of glass on your new carpet.

You have spent at least half an hour just to roughly dry it all up and to pick up the biggest pieces of a glass: you know the smaller ones are going to be stuck into your foot when you walk over that place, for days. As for the smell of the house, it’s better to not even talk about at all...

This seems like a regular life little story, an unimportant detail from everyday living. It could happen to anyone. It probably did.

When you think a little bit, that champagne could not be said to be a gift to your life, although somebody intended it to be, because you have lost time, nerves and money to get everything into the same state if was just before that champagne walked into your life.

Just like every life story, this one also has its deep message:

- In life, everything that looks like a gift is not the gift.

What do we need to conclude that? From now on, we should be afraid to receive gifts?

Or...?

Or we are going to get to the real message:

- If something does not look like a gift, that does not mean it is not a gift!

For a chocolate inside a transparent paper, offered to you by your friend – you know it is a gift for you; you take it, say “thanks!” and eat it without thinking (at least I do). For a chocolate wrapped up into toilet-paper, put in a sorry carton box saying “BREAKABLE” that came to you by mail, sent from an unknown sender... well, you are not quite sure what to do with it, even if you unwrap the paper completely and it turns out to be the most expensive and the most delicious chocolate in the whole wide world...

Every piece of your life is a gift. Your whole life is a continuous sequence of gifts, gifts, gifts... being presented exactly to you.

The people to whom I was giving presents, knows that my gifts are usually packaged so tightly with paper, scotch-tape and ribbons (in my pathetic attempt to make them look like something), and that to open them, a good set of teeth or a good electric saw is needed!

Well, something quite similar is happening with the real, life gifts.

Unfortunately, the gifts from life that do not look like presents at all, just happen to be the ones that are most important and the most valuable to us. And, even more regretfully, those are the ones that are most often the ones left unwrapped: they are packaged so firmly that they can be opened only with a great amount of the effort, patience and the time.

Take a moment to think about it: what, to you, currently looks the least like a gift in your life? What bothers you the most?

That is exactly the most valuable present you have received – the one worth putting in the effort to open it. All the rest are just regular, cheap chocolates: their taste will not bring you anything new.

To bravely open all the gifts sent with your name on it, you must trust in life and in yourself sending you valuable gifts, rolled up in toilet paper, packaged inside the perishable carton box saying “BREAKABLE”, and with no address of a sender.

And so, if you do not have good teeth, I suggest that you get yourself an electric saw...

”Decide your reality” or ”The things you cannot have influence on”

I know the sentence ”Decide your reality” feels clumsy, like it has no real meaning. The words ”decide” and “reality”, seem like they are not supposed to be used together.

Reality is what is happening all around us, and the decisions are what is happening inside of us, nowhere but in our thoughts.

Maybe it you will feel like you have understood the predication ”Decide your reality” if you explain it to yourself like: ”That what I decide today, will change my future, because my actions will be directed to lead me to some future reality I decide to create for myself.”

That is also a truth, but it is not what I am trying to say here.

Uuuh, this is a moment when I really wish that I do not have to make you break down the models by which you think everything around you happens over and over…

The most important thing I will try to explain to you in this chapter is:

- The moment of your decision about something is exactly the moment when the reality ”becomes” the reality. Outside of your decision about anything there is no “real” reality.

For example:

Let us say that you are feeling somewhat lousy lately. You have different symptoms that could come from many different illnesses, but they can also be only consequences of your tiredness.

You are thinking you should go to the doctor for him to check what is really going on with your body. You are afraid you could even have a cancer, because that has happened before with the members of your close/wider family. You are troubled by the uncertainty.

What is important for you to understand is: in that precise moment of uncertainty – you are not sick (yet). Your current physical condition is just the possibility you gave to yourself to get sick. Why should you do this? I do not know. Maybe you got tired from living. Maybe it seems too hard. Or too easy. Maybe you are thinking someone else would be living a better life if you were not here. There are plenty of reasons why you could wish for yourself not to exist or simply to be sick, so the others have to take care of you and give you more the attention. Maybe you just do not feel like going to the work.

It is completely irrelevant what kind of deeper reason lies behind your gift to yourself (the possibility to get sick from any disease you like), the important thing is that it is solely your decision whether are you sick or not that decides your future! Only you get to decide about that, either consciously or unconsciously!

And what if the whole uncertainty has passed, and you are already diagnostically ill? The only way to get well is to first understand the reasons why you wished for an illness in the first place, and then to argumentatively disprove those reasons and decide that, for you, truly is better not to be sick. In order to accomplish that, you have to, in your thoughts, get to the deeper level of your consciousness, because you have brought to yourself the disease from that same level.

But what if the disease does not recede, whatever you try? That means you are still thinking it is better for you that way. Everything that happens is what is best for you. If you are intricate in the circle of lousy life circumstances, with always the same thought, the same events, and you do not know how to get out of there – you need an exit from the such situation. And the exit you wished for, you are presenting to yourself: “You can not go like that anymore? Well, do not! Here, you can do it this way!”. Of course, the exit offered this way is the most radical one, which will surely bring you to a change you wished for: your disease.

Hence, be quicker then your consciousness in dealing with the situations that do not satisfy you: consciously submit yourself a break and a change, because, otherwise, you will submit it to yourself in a lot more expensive way.

Why are there heredity diseases then? Because people are not creative, and it is easier to use some, already developed solutions of problems they are being faced with, that are recorded inside them. Their parents gave them everything they themselves knew – including the information on how, according to a specific need, to start a specific kind sickness of their body.

You don’t like the responsibility I am giving you? Sorry.

I know it sound impossible. You cannot except it. I understand you are used to a ”normal” and usual flow of things, and that life is continuing without any of your additional ”decisions” I am talking about.

Just as a plant grows without its own decisions about when to blossom, when to grow leaves and when to die – so does a human life most often flow. Man usually floats on his destiny without his own decisions about the important things (illnesses, deaths, misadventures, happiness,...). The sure thing is: everything will continue to unwrap naturally, even without your interference. BUT! But you, inside of yourself, have the strength to come between! To change anything you like! To stop flowing and start moving upstream! The only thing you need to so is to become aware of that strength and to make an effort to learn a few lessons ahead, in an easier way.

Otherwise you are convicted to be taken away by the stream of your life. Do not complain about your destiny then

Please be aware that, while you worry about something, while you are shivering not knowing your destiny, while you are trying to realize what is real, and what is not (am I sick or not, will I be dying soon or not) – WATCH OUT!, you, at that same moment, have an opportunity to choose your destiny! To decide your path! To nullify all the decisions you have made of so far!

A paradox yes, but quantum physics is waving with this explanation right before our eyes, but we choose to ignore it! We still have not decided to draw a line and to deduce the final conclusion.

It has been experimentally, undeniably ascertained that the wave function (psi) is strongly deterministic until we start to observe the outcome of the subatomic events, but as soon as we focus our attention on some fenomenon happening on the subatomic level – the determinism of that event disapears! Suddenly, the possible outcome cannot be predicted anymore, because subatomic particles are no longer influenced by the same set of laws that they have obeyed before we start observing them!

Science fiction? No, it most surely is not. Watch out: that is the fact of the real material world inside which we are living in, and, so far, it has not been decided what causes it!

What is that, which can strongly determined the change of the outcome into a completely unpredictable one? What is the only difference between the events we are not observing and the ones we do?

We got involved.

Quantum physics tells us the outcome of any subatomic event we observe cannot be predicted in advance. Each could possibility happen. As much as there is a strictly defined set of rules which obeys the events of the subatomic particles, that much it stops being obeyed when we focus our attention on such events.

Are the events not happening untie we observe them (like some of the scientists speculate) or are we that factor that is stronger then all the laws? Are we the factor that can, on its pure will, involve itself into an any event possible and, in some way we are still not aware of, define the outcome of such an event at wish?

We got involved, although still unaware of our own strength, and the mechanisms lying behind our operating on the outcomes.

Everything has already been defined EXCEPT when we decide otherwise.

I know it is not easy to face this conclusion and decide to deduce it finally.

BUT! But how could we not t?!

All the knowledge we need, we already have. The only thing left to gather is a little courage.

***

For the description of quantum physics the equations that contain the complex numbers are used – numbers built from its real and its imaginary part, because it has been shown that it is only in that way that the events happening in the quantum domain can be grasped and defined. What is it telling us? The fact that our world has its real and its imaginary component? Its ”existing” and its ”non-existing” part?

How do we touch the untouchable, at all – how are we to fight something that is not even there?

The imaginary part of our reality is the part that has to be imagined and created over and over again, because without constant involvement of the intelligence, which is the only one that can do it, that part simply cannot persist in being there.

That part of reality is exactly the process of the continuous imagining of the present, based on relating the causes with the effects.

We can grasp that part only by imagining it, by ourselves, or by sensing it. If we sense it, it means it has been imagined already. And we sense it, all the time: our senses constantly inhale the reality around us.

What happens if we imagine them by ourselves? In that case we take over on ourselves the role of the creator of the world around us. Then our part as the observer and the unconscious partaker transforms into the conscious role of the creator.

Imagining the imaginary numbers can only be done by the mathematician; only he can assign roles to them. Men are capable of thinking mathematically.

I hope now you can understand why, in the title of this chapter, I put the sentence “The things you cannot influence” inside the quotation marks. And if you do not: well, I put it there because there are no things you cannot influence.

“Make, God, a new world for us

Abstract thinking

Inside a topic named ”Why not go even further?” we have set the question ‘what kind of an intelligence is capable of lodging, in just a piece of its development, enough amount of the energy needed for a set of “big bangs” (the beginning points of the creation of the universes)?’ Can you notice this that is a trick question, now that we understand that time is not flowing?

Now that we know the beginning is instantaneous with the end, that the end and the beginning (just like all the possible endings of all the possible beginnings!) happen at the same time – it is clear that all the energy needed for the creation of our universe (and of every possible universe) is EQUAL TO ZERO!

This is because everything we have added in the beginning – we have subtracted at the end, and as the end is simultaneous with the beginning, it all happens in one and only equation! All the possible energy has canceled itself– just inside that one and one only equation!

***

“The beginning is half of everything.”

Plato

***

As soon as we realize that the beginning and the end are simultaneous – that everything can be added and subtract at the same time – then each of your “realities” is just one equation where everything can be canceled.

The whole history of our universe, from the Big Bang to its final end, is just – one – and only- equation, where addition, subtraction and the relation of the equality are defined in one of an infinite number of ways, and that could be written as follows:

0 = 0

The number of different “realities” is limitless, because there are infinite numbers of equations that can be put down as:

0 = 0

And they are all equally meaningful. Equally “real”. They all “exist” “simultaneously”.

1 = 1

2 = 2

3x +b – a = 2a + (-3a) + 2b – b + x + x +x

...

If you wake up tomorrow at 10 o‘clock, then in the equation of “the reality that has happened”, some different parameters than the ones in “the reality that would happen” if you woke up at 8 o‘clock in the morning will be included. Of course, it is irrelevant, because at the end everything is canceled, anyway. The only thing that is changed that way is that we (all of us together) have chosen this one equation to go through - to see precisely that one and to live it through.

And what do you think - are we really on so short a level of development that we cannot, in any way, get to know things as they really are?

That we just cannot feel anything except that what is around us – if we cannot see it, hear it, touch it, taste it, smell it? Beside that, it seems that we do not have any more senses.

But we have something else...

We have our intelligence. We have the ability of abstract thinking – the ability of thinking about the abstract things that have nothing to do with the world that surrounds us. By using it, we are able to “sense“ all the possible realities that exist (or do not exist) parallel with this reality of ours.

With our mind we can understand and put in order much more data then that which is sent to us by our senses. This asserts that we still have one more sense: the sense for abstract theories. The only sense that gives us the complete picture of our reality, as just one of all the possible realities.

“- How many mathematicians does it need to change a light bulb?

- Depends of how we define the light bulb...”

Mathematics

The sense of the abstract thinking is used in mathematical thinking and in developing complex mathematical theories.

How is the result it sends us parenthesize into our small picture of the word?

Everything, absolutely everything the math theories are able to tell us, is giving us the data about everything that surrounds us - that which we get from our sense of the abstract thinking. That would mean everything that can logically exist, already does exist, and the only way we can sense it is through logical thinking.

(Here I am using the notion of “the existence” conditionally, in the absence of a better word, in the sense that I explained inside the topic “…But what if there is no end?…”. Everything “exists”, i.e. nothing “exists”, i.e. in the usual meaning the notion of the existence itself has no meaning at all.)

Mathematics is the base that is needed for all the others sciences to explain themselves. At the same time, it is the only science that does not need the existence or “the real world” as its base and does not rely on it. It is a “template for the creation”, the plan of work that has been written.

Think (even if you, like the majority of people, did not like maths in school): mathematics and the logical thinking are our shortest and clearest way to the real knowledge of everything we cannot feel presentative - the only direct way to the truth .

Every real mathematician enjoys the beauty of the mathematical theories, in the elegant proofs of the theorems, in the derivation of formulas by those he proved before, in the upgrading of his beautiful and logical construction that exists nowhere but in his own mind.

But what about that majority of people who are not capable of noticing it in that way? Every man has his built-in idea of beauty. Almost anyone enjoys his type of music and inside it again finds only beauty. Enjoyment in any sort of art form is based on feeling, on the sensibility of the beauty that shines from within it.

Do you understand that you, in fact always, see, hear, touch and think the same, the one and only beauty, only in different ways?

Depending on how your sense is developed and in what measure, you will be trilled by a musical or art, the math’s of literature, the smells or the tastes you are sensing.

The whole mathematics is the one big artistic work, that we are constantly building and upgrading, and for the fruition in it, needs to have developed respondent sense for it. If you are deaf, you cannot enjoy the music; if you are blind, you are not able to feel the beauty trapped inside the artistic picture.

What would be the definition of the art? The art is creation: transformation of the insensible into something that can be sensed, inexistent into the existence, invisible into the visible, unsubstantial into something substantial.

Mathematics is, just like any other work of art, the tool by which we can perceive the unperceivable, touch the untouchable.

“The mathematical rules of the universe are visible to men in the form of beauty.”

“Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.”

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

***

“May not music be described as the mathematics of sences, mathematics as music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician think music.”

***

But why have does our sensible world obey to a strict mathematical laws? Because, by mathematics, we are capable of making the invisible plan, by which is build our sensible world, visible (similar as when the offprint of the handwriting on a paper is imprinted onto a paper below it, so we can make it visible by gently drawing with the pencil that, seemingly empty, lower piece of paper…).

The only truthful description of this, ours, but and of every possible reality, can be written only in a mathematical language.

I have studied the mathematics, but it is the most likely I would never prove any of the new theorems of math. I even need to put the conscious effort to make myself to calculate anything, the same as remembering the names of the streets: I just feel those are not the important things – I am a priori refusing them as the important ones.

Then, what kind of a mathematician am I?

Well, as it has been known, :-):

“There are three kinds of a mathematician: the ones that can count and the ones that cannot.”

I am of that third kind.

The Plato or the Aristotle?

So, the head or the tail?

***

Inside the philosophy appears like there are two basic directions in which has been tried to grasp the right place of a man in the world: the direction toward the close bondage of a man with the world and the direction that leads us to the complete devoid of the world.

How to decide which of that two paths is ”the real one”, i.e. which of them leads to the truth?

The Plato or the Aristotle?

Bereavement of the world, i.e. the world of ideas as the only reality (Plato), or the material world as a source through which we are coming to its cause (Aristotle)?

Those two directions just seem to be the opposite ones, because the existence and the non-existent are two faces of a same coin: whatever its side you are looking at, you are watching the coin itself.

When you suspend yourself from the word, you became unbreakably connected with it, through your unity with everything around you; when you embrace the whole world, in all its fullness of existence, you became aware of the void that lies behind it.

It doesn‘t matter which path you take: all the paths lead to the same goal.

Hence, the Plato and the Aristotle.

***

Humph… but where is that point of meeting the Plato and the Aristotle? Where the ideas have been transformed into sensible things, and the physical world into the world of ideas? Where EXACTLY?

Our relation with everything around us we can observe through our three roles we are playing:

1. We have defined the rules by which to play, and that we can grasp by the abstract thinking – by mathematics (we are the artist who painted the picture).

2. We are, at the same time, the spirit itself, intelligence capable of knowing the world of ideas and the phenomenon world (we are the observer of the picture we have drawn for ourselves).

3. We are participates of the creation itself – of both the sensible word and the world of pure ideas, fully capable of feeling them directly (we are drawn inside that same picture).

What is the difference between our second and our third role, between us as the observers and us as the participators?

Our third role, the role of the participator in the events around us, stops being important when we manage to lift ourselves high enough above the reality, when we “wake up” form it.

In my explanation of the relationship between the insensible and the sensible, i.e. between the world of ideas and the material world, will help me Maurits Cornelis Escher, well known Dutch mathematician, who left us his numerous art works inspired by the ideas of the different realities which could be deduced from the abstract mathematics that is not limited to our space-time continuum.

I am very thankful to him for that, just like and to anyone else I am mentioning in this book…

Famous Escher‘s lithography named “Printing Gallery”, deals with the logic and the topology of space. It represents a young man being inside the art gallery, watching the picture of the city – the city where that same gallery is situated, with him inside. Here, the Escher successes in transforming the space back to itself, so the young man is simultaneously outside and inside the picture.

Pay attention to the plan used by Escher himself to create this lithography: how the sizes of the objects continuously get larger in the clockwise direction. And especially, notice one important detail, which allows this whole transfusion of the space into itself: the hole in the middle.

Mathematicians would call this hole the point of singularity, the point where the texture of the space “doesn‘t hold the water” anymore. Those two realized ideas (continuous expansion of the space and the whole in the middle where is defined nothing at all) are the only way to melt such space into a seemingly meaningful unit.

For illusion of this picture to be perfect, i.e. for a transition between one and the other “reality” to be possible at all, inside the picture must be a point of the pure emptiness, at least the minimal one, that covers the join of the realities, where they are truly merging with each other.

That one point of singularity, where there is absolutely nothing, is necessary. It is used as a “flag” that covers the magical trick – the illusion surrounding us all. Inside that point there cannot be anything, because what could possible be written inside of her? The perfect merging of line of two different worlds simply isn’t possible.

So, in order for this picture of transfusion of one reality into another to be perfect one, not to tell aloud its own secret and that an illusion for the observer of the picture, who is also inside the picture itself, to be complete, that point of singularity, inside of which there is nothing at all, that screens the passage, necessarily must be there!

Well then, maybe you can tell me: where EXACTLY is our point of singularity, the one where our Plato meets our Aristotle, our world of the ideas with our world of sensible things?

... (here you are thinking, by yourself)...

To create his work “The Print Gallery”, Escher used the following schema:

Future illusion we see as a sequence of the curved surfaces, with the hole with nothing inside that covers their join.

Our space is constantly expanding in one direction, just as the space on this Escher’s picture. The physics has told us, a long time ago, that our material world is one curved space-time continuum and that it has the points of singularity inside.

The point of merging between our world of ideas and the material world is just the point where nothing has been defined: it is the black hole of our galaxy. The lines that come in it, from any side, are not continuing on the lines that come in from the other sides. The black hole, inside of which everything transforms into nothing and in everything simultaneously. The black hole fits to our most real state – it is the point where is obvious that the notion of the existence has no real meaning at all, that everything equals nothing, that nothing equals everything, the point where everything stops and everything begin.

For me, it can be my only final destination, the only place where I will be forced to live into any worlds that “exist”: I am repulsive to the idea of any defined, better, nicer, non- physical worlds to be transferred to. I want to go to that only place that doesn’t need the illusion – there, where the light itself is no longer needed.

***

How many different worlds are fusing together inside the point of singularity placed in our galaxy?

Who cares!? Thus we know all of them are equally transparent in their endeavors to take them for real and to saturate ourselves in...

How one reality can be created?

“The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.”

S. Gudder

***

Let’s say that we want to create a new reality. What do we begin with?

We will start from the concept that everything is defined just by its relative respect to its opposition. All is relative, there is no absolute center. The life is defined by its opposition to the death, the existence by its opposition to the inexistence, good just in respect to the evil, warmth in respect to the coldness.

And what is opposite to itself?

That is, by the pure definition of adding I am using in such the simplest possible way for explanation, the zero. It is the only thing that is equal to its opposition. And thus it is always the beginning of everything and the end to which all is coming back.

0 = 0, 0 = -0

0 = 0 + (-0)

The only way to define any beginning, would be like this:

0 = 0

The left side of the equation represents the past, the sign of the equality represents the present, and the right side represents the future.

Each time we are thinking about a creation of some new reality, we have to start from the same equation:

0 = 0

The base of any reality lies in an attempt to create “something” from “nothing”.

0 = x + (-x), for any x

In this way, the future of our reality “has been defined“, with us really doing nothing at all.

Now we are at the begining of time:

0 = x - x

The flow of time has been defined by “translating” from the right side of the equation on the left side, i.e. by adding to the whole equation negative elements:

0 = x – x , | + (-x) ... oh, something has happened

-x = – x , | + x ... oh, something has happened

Each time when “something happens”, that mean we “have experience” it, i.e. that it was transferred from our future into our past. In the presence is always making a balance and the equality between the past and the future, what is the basic point of all beliefs in the “destiny”, the “karma”, “cosmic justice”… Call it what you want, but every “event” always changes both sides of the equation: you cannot change the past without changing the future at the same time. A hope it is clear from the display of the reality I am presenting here.

When we transfer everything from the right side of the equation on the left side, we will come till the end of time, i.e. till the point where all of our past has been “realized” already, and our future is left with nothing at all.

-x + x = 0

And thus, at the end, we came back right there from where we have started at the first place.

0 = 0

The basic equatins can also mean to us:

0	=	0
Past	The point where the future becomes past	Future
Visible	The point where the invisible becomes visible	Invisible
Sensable	The point where the insensable becomes sensable	Insensable
Existent	The point where the inexistent becomes existent	Inexistent

“An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a though of God.”

We have defined one possible reality. And how will we define an “exit” from that reality?

The exit from the reality should be defined exactly in the point where becomes clear that everything equals nothing and nothing equals everything, i.e. in that same point where the whole “concision” looses its meaning. After that, the only meaningful “reality” that could ever exist, is the one inside the singularity of the black hole, in the state of the absolute unit of everything, in the state of the “God” – our only and basic state.

In our truthful one, real, world, the division by zero “makes no sense”, the non-trivial dividers of the zero are not defined. Why?

Because the division by the zero automatically devoid our world and lead us directly into thre singularity of the black hole, where there is everything and there is nothing at the same time, where everything equals nothing, and nothing equals everything!

When looked at this way, “the enlightenment”, i.e. “waking up from the reality” is nothing but a dividing by a zero.

0 = x – x |:0 , for arbitrary x

0/0 = x/0 – x/0

0/0 = 0

But, what it means to us 0/0? The result of division 0:0, in our real world, is not unique, because 0/0 could be equal to really anything:

0 = y * 0 |:0 , for arbitrary y

0/0 = y

So, the basic definition, of any possible reality, can be written like:

The basics of any reality:

0 = 0

Definition of the beginning of time:

0 = x + (-x) , for any x

Definition of the end of time:

x + (-x) = 0

By dividing with the zero is accomplished the exit from all the realities, the time (equalizing) is no more, there is no need for it be there anymore, because everything became equal to nothing, and nothing equal to everything.

=> 0 = y , for arbitrary y

It seams to you too cold and nonchalant to be thinking about the reality that surrounds us this way? You are thinking the God you are praying to is looking at you differently? Hey, but that same fantasy about your merciful God you have created by yourself, in this same way!

The only true GOD there is, is that a part of you watching as a creator on everything ha has already made, the only one who KNOWS everything is happening the way it should, because he, by himself, has defined it!

Outside of your definition there is nothing! Differently then the way it was defined it cannot possibly be! Is just CANNOT happen something for which hasn’t already been defined how it will happen!

(Because how, possibly, it could be done? It is clear that the APPLE that is not defined cannot fall of nowhere! It is obvious that the apple that has been defined cannot FALL until we define what it means to be falling! If we don’t know, in advance, what is an apple and what it means the falling, how could we possible expect the “apple” to “fall”!?!)

If the revelation about this makes you look on everything there is nonchalantly as on a pair of parallel lines: you have looked at the world from the eyes of the real “God” that resides inside of you and persistently makes you learn and create – and further and further and further...

The creation

:-)

“ A mathematician and an engineer attend a lecture by a physicist. The topic concerns Kulza-Klein theories involving physical processes that occur in spaces with dimensions of 11, 12 and even higher. The mathematician is sitting, clearly enjoying the lecture, while the engineer is frowning and looking generally confused and puzzled. By the end the engineer has a terrible headache. At the end, the mathematician comments about the wonderful lecture.

The engineer could not endure and finaly asked the mathematician:

How did you understand this stuff?

Well, I just visualized the process.

How can you POSSIBLY visualize something that occurs in 11- dimensional space?

Easy, first visualize it in N-dimensional space, then let N go to 11."

***

To the non-mathematician it seams like a miracle how the mathematician can imagine more-dimensional spaces and the other logical structures, which the abstract mathematics deals with, and then work and think inside their limits they defined by themselves.

But, what really can be called by the miracle, is just the opposite:

it is just truly miraculous and wonderful that some of the mathematical structures and spaces can be imagined as existent, and, even more so, to be felt directly!

- It always surprises me how every “truths”, turned upside down, remain equally meaningful and truthful...

The question “What was created the first – the world of ideas or the phenomenal world?” is equally meaningless as the question “What came first – the chicken or the egg?”. How possibly to answer this questions? Only by the recursive, self-referenced, definition.

But what does it mean infused into our small, existing world and us, in the middle of it?

Well, simply that – there are two levels of knowledge, two connected stairs of the development, that sequence one another and create the infinite spiral of the development.

Let the MS represent the material world and the IS the world of ideas. Then we could their interconnection graphically display as:

And what have happened in the center of the spiral, on the very beginning of the development? It must have been, at least the unthinkably small, one tiny consciousness that cognized itself without any help from any sensible world. One small idea, exactly the most trivial logical form of all.

We could conclude that is, let’s say, the notion of the number 1 the most trivial thought; then the one itself is the source of everything.

Nevertheless, the most logical way to create something out of the nothing is as follows:

At the beginning there is nothing, i.e. there is a zero. But, when we join a zero to a zero (copy it into itself), we already got something: the function of the identity that has been defined on the set whose only element is a zero, and that translates a zero back to a zero.

Such function we define as:

f : {0} —> {0}

f(0) = 0

Furthermore we could define the natural numbers just as the powers of our function f:

0 ≡ f ^0 =id , id(0) = 0

1 ≡ f , f (0) = 0

2 ≡ f ^2 = f ◦ f , (f ◦ f ) (0) = f [ f(0) ] = 0

3 ≡ f ^3 = f ◦ f ◦ f , (f ◦ f ◦ f ) (0) = f{ f [ f(0) ] } = 0

...

n ≡ f ^n , (f ◦ f◦ ...◦ f ) (0) = 0

...

And thus we have, seemingly, got something out of nothing.

When we have defined the natural numbers, further is continuing the whole existent mathematics and thus we have ground the basics for the material world to be built on.

Inside the mathematics there is a concept that the natural numbers create the basic math objects and that the whole mathematics can be explained as composed exactly of the number theory. This concept is supported by a fact that all the mathematical objects can be represented by numbers or the combination of the numbers or through the formations of a higher sets, that are conducted from the number sequences. (The rational numbers can be defined as a pairs of natural numbers, the irrational numbers as the infinite classes of the rational numbers – so in the groundwork have always remained just the natural numbers.)

“Numbers proceeds from unity.”

Aristotle

But where are we coming by climing more and more over the levels of the spiral; what kind of the omnipotent and infinite knowledge is the one that can be reached at all?

Where are we heading moving foreward and forward?

Or, what is the sum of the sequence:

n0 – n1 + n2 – n3 + n4 - ... – (2k -1) + 2k -... ,

where n0 = 0, n1 = n2, n3 = n4, ..., 2k –1 = 2k,... ?

Well zero, how much can it be. At the end we are coming to the beginning. There from where we have started.

***

Let us come back a little to a relation between the visible world and the world of ideas, so as the mutual decantation of one of those “worlds” onto another.

One of the levels of knowledge is learning how to lift above the sensible world and reach the pure abstract forms, which are offered to us as the mathematical thoughts. While we are in this level, we are the ones fighting to completely understand the world that surround us and create the abstract theories that can function unrelated to any sensible matter: men.

On this level of the development we are today.

The other level of the knowledge is coming back where we begin from: that is exactly the creation of the sensible world on the basics of the non-material “world” that surround us, i.e. of the pure abstract forms, and the return there.

On this level we are becoming those who are fighting to create a world that can be sensible directly, out of the abstract theories: gods.

On this level of the development we will be tomorrow.

So the whole development in general – is nothing but a constant and continuous creation and upgrading!

Mathematically has been proved already that no logical system that includes elementary arithmetic, cannot have a base in itself. Still have to exist something outside that system that will secure its consistency. Famous Gödel’s second theorem of consistency proves to us that no logical system whatsoever can prove its own consistency (the not-contradiction with itself). The proof of the consistency, for any logical theory, thus has to come from something outside of that logical system itself, outside all the axiomatic math theories that describe our world.

What is that, which exists outside the logic itself, totally independent of the truthfulness of any postulates? What is that, what truly gratuitous chooses the axioms and above them builds the mathematical theories that will be used in a sensible world?

The answer on this question we have already known by now: the intelligence itself, in its purest, the most insensible way. The primeval, starting, ours intelligence that created even the ideas of the truth and false. That same intelligence which, inside of you, counts the money for going to a cinema. Which writes the poems inside of you. Which creates the musical melodies inside of you and them admires them.
