Our eyes, specifically, are the keystone.
Who is we in this case?
Honestly no one I know in real life cares. I talk about this stuff at all and their eyes glaze over. They don't know what to think, so they don't think.
If things keep escalating this will end in blood.
He's in tight with a lot of drug dealers from his cocaine days, that's a given.
Then stop replying, Jude.
Stepping outside is the last thing you do on the spiritual journey. It's generally a secretive process for various reasons, though. The yogas of Naropa deal with it.
>What happens if you remove time from the equation? Does matter stop existing?
From our perspective, yes.
>Does the universe stop moving?
From our perspective, yes.
>There had to be a start, correct?
No start.
No end, either.
Eternity is eternal. Timeless.
You exist within a dream. The outside doesn't exist yet because dreams technically have no physical existence, so there is neither an inside nor an outside. You're scratching the right place with these questions though.
Space and time are not fundamental, information is. Consciousness creates apparent space and dimensionality. Just like when you have a dream, what you are dreaming takes up no space. Your consciousness creates the illusion of space and dimensionality when you dream, the same as when you are awake. Both are information based simulations of physical realities. The difference is that this dream has continuity and matter, which makes it different enough from our nighttime dreams to fool us. Having a near death experience, deep meditation, childbirth, certain psychotropic drugs, can all induce a brief "waking up" which is usually blissful, although some people experience hell instead.
Beer. That's when it's time for beer.
READ THE BIBLE.
Luke 17:21
Neither shall they say, look here! or, look there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
John 10:34-35
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, "I said, Ye are gods?" he called them "gods", unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Psalm 82:6
I have said, "You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High."
I didn't change anything. Those are copied verbatim from BibleHub. We are demigods. Halfmortals. Bodies die, spirit does not. You will see in time. Until then you condemn no one but yourself. Doubt is it's own punishment.
>If the big bang theory is true
It isn't. BBT said universe would collapse back in on itself. Instead the expansion is speeding up and there's more matter than we can account for. Scientists use the term dark matter to describe this unexpected matter.
