Thanks for the response .

I know you might think your ideas were a bit abstract, but to me they are really not at all . Sometimes an abstract way (an "image") is the best way to convey something, since an image does not only convey verbal communication/prose/words.

Your viewpoint is very understandable to me, as a scientist myself, I am quite familiar with the physics concepts you speak of. Thanks very much for that . We ARE nothing but transformed stellar material, as is all matter, I guess.

But there is another important thing. Did you know that humans have the power to make anything be the way they want, through just thinking about it? Yes, it's called projection. It really is like that. If you say something will be a certain way, that is how it will be. I think you are on to something with your language idea too. You see, because of the way we have defined things already as humans, we fail to see how our "commands" have actually manifested.

Thus, it is why it has become my life's mission to question accepted truths and definitions. Why? Because I have learnt that they blind us from what is really going on. We can't even see when we have actually succeeded at something. To us it looks like failure! Only because of what others have told us! I really want to people to realize it - if you say something must be like this or that, so it WILL be! Highly spiritual people (I tend to think of myself as one too) would try to describe it abstractly as saying you are telling angels to do things for you, for example. They are helpers, I don't know if people realize that. Of course, there exists a sinister component too, so people with evil intentions are likewise commanding demons to gather intelligence about others and do their bidding.

So another abstract idea:

Brain = "spirit"
Heart = "soul"

When the two are in "tune" the human is totally unshakable and immensely powerful. This is where the idea of faith and believing comes into it. When you believe something in your heart (soul) you have 100% faith and cannot fail, ever. The problem is, most of the time we only ever mouth the words (speaking of the spirit/little voice in the head, etc. etc.). So we say things like:

"Never judge a book by its cover."
"The grass always looks greener on the other side."
"Money isn't everything/doesn't buy you happiness."
Even "One plus one equals two!"

Everybody at this point will say, "Well, yeah, those are all true statements, I believe them too." Well, we don't actually. While we may say all the right things, we don't believe them. Some people say these things a thousand times a day. You can say it all you like, you still don't believe it. Why do I say this? Well, take a look at the world around you:

"Never judge a book by its cover." People all say this. Yet, the first thing people do when they see someone for the first time is judge people by the way they look, the clothes they wear, the car they drive, the way they speak, their "compatibility" with others, socially, and many other criteria.

"The grass always looks greener on the other side." People all say this to try and tell others that they would not wonder over to the other side for greener pastures. But, people do. They are never satisfied. They chase and chase and chase all their lives.

"Money isn't everything/doesn't buy you happiness." If people don't believe this, then why the hell does everyone seek more and more money on a daily basis? Why is it the cornerstone of our human race? You are a "nobody" (in the eye's of the world) without it (and there is nothing wrong with being this "nobody" by the way). This is the most sad thing I think we face today. You can go up to a kid of 4 years old, and he'll already be able to understand when you have the greenback, you've got power and you can get things and make things happen.

And yeah, the rules like 1 + 1 = 2. How do we even know this IS true?

If you look at the world today, the falsehoods people live by (they perceive it as fundamental truths) are:

"First impressions count."
"More is better/more."
"Might makes right."
"The grass IS always greener on the other side."
"I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine."
"I made you, I can break you."
"Money isn't everything, it's the only thing."
"Seeing is believing."

Many will say that they do believe these things are selfish or even wrong, but they don't believe that. The mark is located in the way they conduct their everyday lives. Especially the last point. People say they have faith. Then why do they need proof about things? I have autism. On the outside it seems I am not a very nice guy. But, on the inside, I can be. I mean, I'm not perfect, but I try. But, my whole life I've had to spend trying to prove this to people. After spending 10 years with me (classmates for example) they say: "You're actually not a bad guy at all, you're actually rather cool, I wish we knew each other a lot better". I think to myself, why did it take you so long to realize that?

Real faith is when you do something without the "evidence". When you need evidence it shows that you doubt, and when you doubt, you don't have faith, it's really that simple. Remember what I said, when you say something will happen, it will! If you doubt, you say something will fail, and thus it will!

You see, my eyes went open. Not my eyes, but my spiritual "eyes". I asked myself "What is happiness?" and also "How do I attain happiness?". I looked at the world, at what they do, and I saw all humankind following the same thing. Grow up, get a job, get a house, get married, have kids, retire, die. It's then that it hit me. I said to myself "Is THIS the best they can come up with?" There is so much out there in the world, so many possibilities, so many things waiting to be discovered, begging for one human, if only one, to find it. All the potential in the world, and THIS is what people regard as the sum-total of a life well-lived? How bleak, selfish and rather pathetic! For all the potential humans have, and this is what they come up with? A 7-step how-to guide? This is not a life, it's a death sentence! That is when I turned away from the world's ways and am now trying to pursue a life of truth and real happiness. It will take time obviously, I am bounded by many commitments, but I can feel how I become more and more impatient everyday, just with life and the world out there.

So, then, what is real happiness? It is when you no longer need these things, or affirmation from someone. You are just yourself and you need no more than that.

Thanks for the discussion. These things are truly thought provoking. I am by no means an expert, I don't wish to be called one either (it's another falsehood to feed an ego). I am just me, and that's good enough for me .
