The Sum of Awe

  • I've been lurking. Just busy and nothing much to say and nothing new being discussed.
    Your welcome! I don't even remember where I got that picture... I wish I could credit the artist. You could say that lady is my alter ego as a worshiper of Storm Spirit. =)
    Excellent question.

    I don't actually have any "hard" beliefs about what may or may not happen to our awareness after we die, so the technical answer would probably be "no". But in addition, when it comes to my religion, I don't separate objective existence with subjective mythology. So from a religious standpoint (that is, the standpoint of my whole life), the answer would be "yes".

    So..., yeah, yes and no, just to be COMPLETELY confusing. I don't really have the words to express these thoughts except in art.
    Thank you for the pro-Heaven Worship frubal. :D Closest term I could think of, off-hand. :)
    I watched it. All that science is beyond me, but I want to caution against the idea that there is a right or wrong picture of the world--science builds models, and each model is only as good as its usefulness, and this one too will be replaced one day when something more useful comes along.
    I'll watch it after work today. Thanks.

    The context in which things do not exist when not observed is simply in how we define and use the idea of existence. For instance, Bertrand Russell's teapot (as a metaphor for "god"): the burden of proving such a thing rests on the one making the claim about such a thing. We cannot and should not be making claims about (the existence of) things we know nothing about. I do believe in an objective reality, but not one distinct from what we know about the world (or in other words, "there is no ontology without epistemology.")
    Hah it's cool, I pretty much just walked out anyways. The whole things is just such a pain because all the people you usually agree with are suddenly blinded by their own righteousness and just don't get it.
