The mysterious nature of time

[Confused]

How many stars are there in the Universe?

[Confused]

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench.
Care about other people's approval and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

by Lao-Tse, Tao Te Ching

yeah, the Tao is awesome.

"Chapter 41

Higher people hear of the Tao
They diligently practice it

Average people hear of the Tao
They sometimes keep it and sometimes lose it

Lower people hear of the Tao
They laugh loudly at it

If they do not laugh, it would not be the Tao
"

[Fastidious Emanations]

Chapter 1;
'The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named is not the eternal name
The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth
The named is the mother of myriad things
Thus, constantly without desire, one observes its essence
Constantly with desire, one observes its manifestations
These two emerge together but differ in name
The unity is said to be the mystery
Mystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders'

I know this is the very first verse, but I'd quite forgotten of this text, and this introduction to such a delicate work, I feel is quite revealing of the Universal Tao

“Love

Embracing Tao, you become embraced.
Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.
Clearing your vision, you become clear.
Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.
Opening your heart, you become accepted.
Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.
Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
Controlling without authority,
This is love.”

― Lao Tzu, The Teachings of Lao-Tzu: The Tao-Te Ching

"I have three treasures. Guard and keep them: The first is deep love, The second is frugality, And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world. Because of deep love, one is courageous.Because of frugality, one is generous. Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world."

– Lao Tzu (source: http://www.quotesandpoem.com/quotes/list...or/lao-tzu)

In the pursuit of knowledge, every day something is added.
In the practice of the Tao, every day something is dropped.

There was an episode of Futurama where they had a forward-going time machine, and went past 10^47 years in the future, to when the universe ended, and then a new big bang started and created the same exact universe again.

[thp1983]

What are some of the great ?'s in physics? What is the origin of mass? What is the nature of the arrow of time? The answers are simple. Consider if you will the human brain which is made up of billions of neurons. There are more connections in the human brain then their are stars in our galaxy. Our neurons communicate using electrical impulses. Those electrical impulses travel through the neuron and when they reach the next neuron there is a small gap between each neuron (synapse). At that point the electrical impulse converts into a chemical message to be passed to the next neuron where it will then be converted back to an electrical impulse. That is the nature of thought. That is conversion from energy to matter. That short gap energy is transformed in to multiple universes where your thought plays out all possible and probable outcomes (the many worlds interpretation). These thoughts or impulses also are traveling in a certain direction which explains why we have an arrow of time. The major point to understand is INFINITY and infinity is a hard concept to comprehend. To grasp infinity you must define that infinity as unity (singularity). The first thing in creation was infinity which is an oxymoron but you get the picture. The second thing to happen is infinity became aware. Now you can compare that concept to your creation the moment your fathers sperm fertilized your mothers egg and that moment of conception was your big bang. when that first cell began dividing your universe was expanding and yet it was not aware of itself yet. The moment the brain turned on so to speak, you the creator became aware and began to think. So I ask you, What is thought? What does it mean to take thought. Would thinking not be creating (experiencing) The process of thought is actually being played out in many multiverses that begin and end in a split second. Now think about the purpose of creation. Creation is all about energy and information. It takes energy to get information (experience). Picture a Black Hole consuming everything that nears it even light, so it is consuming all energy and information. Where is this energy and information going? Where does it end up? Could it be possible that it is what powers our cells and body. Could all that energy and info be what is coming out of the mitochondria in our cell. That is where infinity or intelligent infinity comes into play for the scale of the macrocosm to the microcosm is infinite it never ends. It flows like all energy and info flows in a torus shape. The conclusion to my theory is that yours and my ultimate goal is to fully grasp that we can travel the universe through meditation in which we are actually traveling through our thoughts. In fact that is all we are is a thought. The material universe is nothing but an illusion in which we carry out experiencing the possibilities and creating and sub creating for the intelligent infinity or the infinite consciousness. The fact is that we are all one thought in the creators mind and that makes us sub creators and that my friends is what is infinity is. Theory thought by Taylor Price

Creation is all about energy and information. It takes energy to get information (experience).

That, I think, is a real excellent thought!! Correlating information with experience is one great brainwave, in my opinion.

... and then a new big bang started and created the same exact universe again.

I wonder whether the big bang begins from a black hole, wherein the information contained from the previous octave helps spread out a new creation for further experience for the creator of the creator.
