past present and future may just be a singular thing ?
Sounds like a paradox though
How so?
How could the universe exist and not exist at the same time?
Assuming the universe was to end of course
ah see now that's a pretty weird idea
A universe that is all at once
Doesnt make sense to me
just think about time as a singular thing
we experience it linearly
but that doesnt make it so
Ah ok
I get it now. More or less I think.
So there are a lot of ideas about this
Wouldnt you need to base that on faith though?
Its fun to explore them
I believe a lot of things to be based on faith.
well thats a good point and a central idea in buddhist philosophy
Interesting.
They would say, no faith is not enough
It cannot be conceptualised
Alan Moore dislikes materialism I think for that reason.
So aldous huxley wrote a cool book
called the doors of perception
which was about this
Or the popularization of it anyway.
Interesting. I might read it soon.
and a guy called terrence mckenna also had a lot to say
they seemed to think the right sort of psychedelic drug could give you a brief glimpse of objectivity
but one that could only be experienced
Yes Alan Moore also said something like that if I recall correctly.
there's a substance called DMT
In a sense I agree with you though.
I don't think someone can truly be enlightened.
Which i've dabbled with
DMT?
Well what is enlightened. thats a pretty heavy question haha
Dimethyltryptamine.
bingo
I believe enlightened to be wisdom.
