Understanding relativism

[Mvrs]

The substance of the Universe will never change (imagination/consciousness) however, in your episode Understanding Relativism  You state that maybe the appearances of things like atoms change based on the current paradigm. Do you think this is absolutely true? If we as humans had thought of something other than atoms completely different than atoms it would have ended up being true . I guess infinity comes into play here so duh. Every possibility. Does infinity really mean everything is happening that could happen right now? @Leo Gura

Yes but not "now" as if contrasted with some "other" time. And it's not just what could happen. This is what's happening and not happening -- in fact, what's happening is what's not happening. If absolutely everything is happening, nothing is really happening.

No, it doesn't work so simply.

"Atoms" are entangled with your state of consciousness, with your neurology, with your DNA, and many other such factors which you cannot simply change at will.

If you could change your state of consciousness, your neurology, and your DNA -- then yes, atoms would become something else.

Neurology? There is no brain in direct experience - how can that be reconciled?

There is apparent logical evidence of a brain appearing in direct experience. Doesn’t mean it’s real. Doesn’t mean experience is real either. So it doesn’t matter. Stuff only matters in real experience.

"Neurology" is relative label. Everything you understand is relative labels.

Hey @Leo Gura . Where does someone get started in witchcraft? It sounds very interesting. Heard you talking about in your latest video. Never thought it existed but I really love magic and you said theres a way to do witchcraft? Can you actually cast real spells with the magic of consciousness?

@diamondpenguin Leo didn't vouch for witchcraft in that episode.  Just told to you to research everything for yourself.

For all you know witvhcraft might just be a bunch of nonsense. Or not. Go research, don't ask others.

Witch craft is more like figuring out how to use herbs to induce mystical states and also by manipulating set and setting to achieve it .

Witchcraft is 100% real. Magic is real. Ghosts are real. Everything you’ve ever discarded as fairy tales is real.

Yes. I recommend a Japanese style bed. No room for monsters.
