I also noticed you mentioned something about infinity earlier. This is one of my beliefs. Basically to relate it to this thread a little:
It is possible that tomorrow it will rain frogs. However, it is extremely unlikely. Because the possibility exists however, it means that there is an absolute certainty that it is occuring 'somewhere'. This is one of the underlying principles of the term 'infinite'.
Basically, anything you can dream up already exists somewhere in the universe. Even if it is only created at the exact instant of your thought. Somehow it should be possible to move this remote certainty into our current present impossibility using mathematics or a belief structure of some kind. This would then lead itself to the ability to literally wish things into existence with a but a thought and a little applied philosophy/mathematics.

quote:However I think the Rev.s statement on perception goes back to the buddhist idea that behind all of our 'bodies', ideas, and perceptions there is but one stream of consciousness..Or perhaps you were referring to Socrate's allegory of the cave?
Contrary to the most important tenet of Cartesian philosophy that the perceptions of the mind are illusionary, the eye transmits to it the true and accurate likeness of external things. This is because light propagates in straight lines and the image cast on the retina is an exact reproduction of the external form and one which, owing to the mechanism of the optic nerve, can not be distorted in the transmission to the brain. What is more, the process must be reversible, that in to say, a form brought to consciousness can, by reflex action, reproduce the original image on the retina just as an echo can reproduce the original disturbance If this view is borne out by experiment an immense revolution in all human relations and departments of activity will be the consequence.

" Life is programmed. Whether death is programmed or not is yet to be determined."
quote:
Man, however, is not an ordinary mass, consisting of spinning atoms and molecules, and containing merely heat-energy. He is a mass possessed of certain higher qualities by reason of the creative principle of life with which he is endowed. His mass, as the water in an ocean wave, is being continuously exchanged, new taking the place of the old. Not only this, but he grows propagates, and dies, thus altering his mass independently, both in bulk and density. What is most wonderful of all, he is capable of increasing or diminishing his velocity of movement by the mysterious power he possesses by appropriating more or less energy from other substance, and turning it into motive energy. But in any given moment we may ignore these slow changes and assume that human energy is measured by half the product of man's mass with the square of a certain hypothetical velocity. However we may compute this velocity, and whatever we may take as the standard of its measure, we must, in harmony with this conception, come to the conclusion that the great problem of science is, and always will be, to increase the energy thus defined.
