Non-locality. I don't know exactly what it is, but from what i understand it basically says that matter is not in one time and place, exactly. Of course matter is in a finite time and place because that is what we percieve, but when it comes down to it, matter is in all times and all places at one time. This of an atom. We say that there are

First, not a comment on the concept of the non-locality (which is quite intriguing), but on the metaphor used: An electron does in fact exist in a concrete location, but it is moving so rapidly that we cannot actually detect/measure its precise location. However, we can mathematically calculate where it has a probability of existing - and this is what is described by an electron cloud. In a sense, the approximation is not in saying that the electron is in a specific location, but in saying that electron is everywhere in the electron cloud

THanks for the thoughts

Since you big into this Chemistry stuff, can you think of any better analogies for the message i'm trying to put across.

Second, i use the term God pretty loosely in my correlation. I don't feel that we honestly become God, more godlike. In my eyes God is still the creator, and no matter how much we open up to whats out there, the only thing we can create is changes in ourselves, whereas, God created everything and some might say continually creates everything through his love.

THanks again for the response and input.

Why does LiveJournal not display the other comments on the "Post a Comment" page? Anyway

Preach Brother Jastien

This has been fun, like the idea of using LJ as a philosophical forum. What did you think of my idea that we have the potential to be part of the whole from birth, but the moment someone else comes into the pictre we start to become limited?

I kinda like that, actually. I think it meshes well with a certain overlap between buddhist philosophy and a certain school of Christian theology. A buddhist would likely tell you that you are Buddha. You already are enlightened--already are perfect--you just don't realize it. In that sense, it stands to reason that you entered existence in a state of perfection. I'm not sure I would identify the fall from perfection with the interference of any other being, though. I'd be more likely to say that you separate yourself from Buddhahood the moment you begin to think that you have a personal existence that's different from that of the rest of the world

I personally prefer the doctrine of a free thinking. I really like the idea of the person loosing buddahood they moment they beleive they are seperate from someone else. In this sense, it's not the fault of the parents, its just the way things happen, and then something to be unlearned.
