How to Build a Universe

Challenging time

The current time is filled with new challenges, it's in the air. We live in a time of transition, and we have this choice either to accept the change or to resist the upcoming evolution.

Nothing can be certain, and nothing ever was held as the truth unanimously recognized as such. The fact is there is probably not such thing as an Universal truth - only fragments the each and every one of us hold as their truth.

But there is change and change has always been the modus operandi of this Universe. Nothing is set, everything evolve, update, transform, ...

Laws and Order

Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.

Change is something already occurring, people are awakening in mass ; and start to question "what is reality ?" in fact simple things that we always took for granted, start to amaze people, to mesmerize their interests, why do we have to live like we are never going to die ? why do we pretend to like jobs we don't like ? why have I never stopped and look inside for what I always wanted to do with my life ?

What if we are the creator of our own reality ?

How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later: Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.

-- Philip K. Dick

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." 

A new language

Abeceda

A new language

At some stage humanity will have to re-invent language (or found it again) - the way we have communicated so far, doesn't fit the bill.
Somehow intentions, sources, experiences are left when a sentence is given.

Gospel Of Philip: Names given to the worldly are very deceptive, for they divert our thoughts from what is correct to what is incorrect. Thus one who hears the word "God" does not perceive what is correct, but perceives what is incorrect. So also with "the Father" and "the Son" and "the Holy Spirit" and "life" and "light" and "resurrection" and "the Church (Ekklesia)" and all the rest - people do not perceive what is correct but they perceive what is incorrect, unless they have come to know what is correct. The names which are heard are in the world [...] deceive. If they were in the Aeon (eternal realm), they would at no time be used as names in the world. Nor were they set among worldly things. They have an end in the Aeon.

Babel

In the Bible, the story of Babel is a turning point, when the people lost their abilities to talk properly to each other, after that the confusion of languages started.
On the other hand, during Pentecost something happen that is of great augur :

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Acts 2:1–6 in all major bibles

The name that can be named

This is Dr. Wayne Dyer talking about his book "Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life"
of course this reminds a bit of "The Secret" - which was talked about in a previous post

As described in the film, the "Law of Attraction" principle shows that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. 

it's good to know that initially Dr. Wayne Dyer was contacted to appear in "The Secret" but didn't.

the book "Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life" is not so much about "Knowing what you want" but to observe life and act in life with the life's way.

Tao means "the Way".

The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.

For The Love of Prague

I'm having a very good time reading the book "For The Love of Prague" from Gene Deitch.

In a nutshell, it's the biography of Gene an American  who came to Prague in the early 60s for a job as a cartoon director, and ... why he never went back and he's actually still in Prague now. 
The book depicts the tragic Czech historical event of 1968 and the Revolution of 1989. 
And it highlight accurately what make the Czech personality so touching, and why living in Prague (the magic city) is such a sweet thing.
