The reason I don’t believe in absolutes is because of the nature of reality. Quantum physicists have found that at the subatomic level of reality, a photon can either be a wave or a particle, or neither one at all until it is observed. In quantum physics, there are only probable answers. There aren’t yes or no answers, only ‘most probable.’
So considering that observation is influencing the particle/wave probability, we are also creating reality with our consciousness. Shouldn’t this mean that reality would be more random and chaotic then? Well no. The reason we see ‘absolutes’ in our reality is because we live in a shared reality. So its the complex interaction of a mass of consciousness, observing and creating a common story. Although we do create reality on an individual level to a certain extent, we are truly creating the reality we live in on a collective level.
But the main reason that it still isn’t absolute is because it all also doesn’t exist at the same time. Just like your thoughts are illusion, all of this is but a thought… derived from nothingness. If everything comes from nothing, then everything is essentially nothing. Quantum physics (here’s an interesting article on this https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/physics-is-pointing-inexorably-to-mind/ ) has been implicating that everything exists and doesn’t exist at the same time. And this is ancient knowledge learned by the mystics throughout time that would say ‘the world is maya.’ I’ve experienced reality being an illusion once during meditation and it was one of the scariest yet liberating experiences I’ve ever had.
Now when I say that am not thinking on an individual level, I meant I am not thinking on an egoic level. Thinking for Sam and all his desires. (This isn’t true right now, I’m more attuned to my ego right now. I am speaking of higher vibrational state) Of course, you will always technically be thinking on an individual level cause otherwise you’ll be thinking as everything else at once. But when you become selfless, you become an extension of the all in an individual level. You are the universe focused in on the point of awareness that is your body.
Right now, we are all the universe focused in the body but unaware that it is the universe, in the personalities we’ve developed in our lives that make us believe this is who we really are. And here’s something interesting…
Considering the universe is expanding infinitely, your spirit is also on the path of becoming its own universe and creating an infinite amount of universes as well. This thing, whatever this is so massive and never ending, that it hurts my brain just to think on it. Some of the things dream has shared with me has made my mind spin like a merry go round.
All this being said, these are all just my perspectives. I would prefer not to influence you guys with my way of seeing things as I think you should all come to your own conclusions through your personal experiences.
