Change Is the Only Constant – The Existential Paradox: Part VII | Awaken the Living Awareness Within ∞ LIFΞ ∞

~ ∞ ~ Change Is the Only Constant - Awaken the Living Awareness Within ~ ∞ ~ If there’s anything certain in this world, it is the truth that everything in life is fleeting and impermanent; everything changes and nothing ever stays the same. Everything is in a constant flux of change, which goes on to say that pleasurable conditions, favorable circumstances, our relationships with those we hold dear, and even our health and well-being – any sense of comfort and security we derive from these things is continually [...]

The Fear of Annihilation (Non-Existence) 3/3 – The Existential Paradox: Part II | Awaken the Living Awareness Within ∞ LIFΞ ∞

...states that energy equals matter, thus being interchangeable; mass=energy and energy=mass), it gets pretty interesting. You see, Einstein’s law of conservation dictates that Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Now, what does that mean? Well, you do the math. Considering that Light is the Origin – the Source of everything that comes into being, the Source of everything we term as “real, concrete, tangible, material, physical.” Considering that Light is Energy, and matter is densified Light Energy. Considering that just in the same way as water, steam, and [...]

...scintilla of evidence that any other factor was involved in their creation? Is it any wonder, then, that all too many have convinced themselves into thinking that there is no meaning, no significance, no purpose, and no manifest destiny to human life? In part, this is the result of scientific materialism – a view that physical reality is the only reality there is; that all things are composed of material, and all phenomena (including consciousness) are the result of material interactions; that the brain creates consciousness and that consciousness cannot [...]

...not only the questions relating to why, but also how. Among such questions are: Why are we here? Where will we go, and how will we get there? Why do we exist? What does it mean to exist? Can existence become non-existence? What lies across the threshold between life and death? Yet, we have no consensus – this is because we as the collective human species have created ourselves social structures (civilization) that are ultimately an elaborate, symbolic defense mechanism against the knowledge of our mortality. These structures of civilization [...]

The Existential Paradox: Part I | Awaken the Living Awareness Within ∞ LIFΞ ∞

...what it is not, and yet it somehow escapes contradiction – that’s how the Miracle of Life is possible – see? The word “existence” comes from the Latin word ‘exsistere,’ meaning “to appear”, “to arise”, “to become”, or “to be”, but literally, it means “to stand out.” So when something is made to appear, or to become visible to the human senses – which can only perceive a very narrow spectrum of light, we are saying that something exists; clearly, this doesn’t mean that ‘something’ isn’t existing if we’re not [...]
