The more often you live your truth, the quicker you will decide whether or not you still agree with it.
How come we cast our teachers and idols aside the minute we find out that they're human?
The sunrise. 16x Speed.
I recorded for about 8 and a half minutes, and then I realized, that's about how long it takes light to get from the Sun to Earth. This got me thinking...the end of the video was the actual state of universal affairs when I started recording. In other words, the position of the sun in the sky at the end of the video is "actually where the Sun was relative to me" when I began the video...I just didn't know it yet. It took 8 and a half minutes for the information from the Sun to reach me. There is a lag time, a delay. By the time the Sun's light reached Earth and reached my eyes, the state of Earth had changed. In fact each moment during the light's journey the state of Earth and everything else was changing. This phenomenon is true of any objects in motion with relation to one another. (Einstein worked a lot with this concept...you may have heard of it..."relativity" ring any bells?).
This led me to the realization that the slower you travel, the more things will have changed by the time you arrive, and the faster you travel the less things will have changed by the time you get there. So moving with infinite speed would mean that the Earth would literally appear to be standing still, nothing will have changed by the time you got anywhere. Which means that you will have been completely present with everything going on in the entire Universe as it happens. So really, when moving at infinite speed, you aren't
"moving" at all. Instead you simply will BE the space that you previously experienced yourself moving in.
Whoa.
The flip side is true too...if you move infinitely slowly, you will experience everything else to be moving infinitely fast. Worlds will be born and die in less than the blink of an eye. Think about that...the entire Universe will erupt and dissolve a million times over and then some and you will have barely noticed. So if you move infinitely slowly, everything moves infinitely quickly, and that is pretty much the same as it not happening at all, at least not in your experience. You will BE, in your experience, the only thing in existence.
So moving infinitely quickly and infinitely slowly produce the same result: a singular experience of existence, you will BE the only ONE here.
It's that middle ground in between the infinites that gives rise to the experience of life. Therefore bless those infinites, those extremes, for they produce the reference points needed to explore the space in between them, what most of us call Life.
If you can't explain a particular thing to anyone and everyone, then you really don't understand that thing at all. Instead what you've done is memorized a story about that particular thing. So when someone asks you to explain, you tell them the story. If they still don't understand, maybe you have another memorized story to tell. If that doesn't work then you'll tell them it's their fault they don't understand. True understanding is revealed by the ability to use commonplace language to bring anyone else to an understanding about that thing.
When you fear losing something, you miss out on the opportunity to enjoy that something in the first place. This is because while you're fearing losing that something, you'll worry, "how much longer will I have this something?" or "when will it be taken away from me?" So while you're with this thing, you're fearing losing it, and fearing losing it creates a worried, scared, nervous experience of "when is it going to be gone? when am I not going to have it anymore?" So interestingly enough when you fear losing something, you don't ever fully enjoy it. And if you're not going to enjoy it while you have it, then why have it at all? You might as well not have it......and not having it is what you fear in the first place...
ahhh, now we are getting some of that physics background :)
