Insight #3 - Nothing is original.

Everything is derived.

Pythagoras didn't invent shit, that theorem has been true for eternity.

Metaphysically speaking, intellectual property is theft.

No one has ever invented anything. God beat you all to it.

I disagree with this one... How Did you get this insight?

By noticing that everything in reality is constructed.

God both created and is the basic components required for construction.

Therefore anything you construct is only made possible because of the system God designed.

This system is infinitely complete and free of contradictions. Everything possible is derived out of this system.

But why something derived is not original?

[Staples]

From Oxford Dictionary 

Derived: obtain something from (a specified source)

Original: present or existing from the beginning; first or earliest

God is original, reality is derived from God.

In spiritual work, everything you deconstruct you ought to reconstruct.

Reconstruct better if you can.

Don't linger in the void, its anti-life.

I am like a bird stuck in a shop.

I fly from perch to perch searching for a way out. After all, everything I have ever needed to survive meant flying around.

The door is open, escape is easily possible.

But it would never occur to a bird like me to go to the ground to find the exit, because that's where predators lurk.

I know you are like this because I am like this.

How are you like this bird?

There is no body mind connection.

The only difference between Isaac Newton inventing calculus, and you learning it from a textbook, is that Newton derived it and you were taught it.

One can't have true understanding of anything unless you can re-derive it from first principles.

'How did Newton invent calculus?' is a much more powerful question that 'Can you teach me calculus?'.

Humor is a survival tool!

Comedy is a built-in remedy against suffering.

Suffering causes depression and anti-survival patterns.

Thank god we can laugh! Because it's fun and it keeps the fun going.
