I am not erroneously conflating the two if it is indeed possible that the universe is, itself, the mind of a higher consciousness.Trajk Logik wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:31 pmI think you are conflating "universe" with "mind". They are not the same thing.seeds wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:58 pm Granted, it is highly speculative, but I've been promoting the theory that we humans are what I call "THE ULTIMATE SEEDS" who are each imbued with the potential of evolving into a literal universe created from the living fabric of our very own minds.
In which case, if you can figure out which one of the following three items is out of place relative to the other two, then the difference between a computer's purpose and that of a human's purpose should be obvious...
Our minds are as separate from this universe as they are from each other.Trajk Logik wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:31 pm Minds are part of the universe, not separate from the universe.
I am a separate mind, you are a separate mind, and the universe is a separate mind (God's mind). Indeed, I suggest that our minds are like "parallel universes" relative to each other.
We can interact on this forum because the aforementioned "interface" of our bodies and brains (which are indeed a part of this universe) place us (our minds) in the same spatial arena of God's mind.Trajk Logik wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:31 pm This is why our minds can interact here on this forum, because they are part of the same universe.
I explain all of that in this short YouTube video - https://youtu.be/bVbpHy4nncA
Yeah, but only two of those items are being presented as "seeds" of something...
Do you think a physical computer has the same purpose as that which is implied in a physical seed? - something that is destined to yield-forth a highly specific lifeform?
As Meister Eckhart allegedly stated:
Although Meister Eckhart was probably not being quite as literal about that process as I am with my "Ultimate Seeds" theory,...“The seed of God is in us: Pear seeds grow into pear trees; Hazel seeds into hazel trees; And God seeds into God.” — Meister Eckhart
...nevertheless, how does a computer fit-in with that line of reasoning?
Because, as I stated earlier in this slightly rephrased quote,...Trajk Logik wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:31 pm What makes a physical brain have a different purpose than a physical computer?
Logic dictates that there is no self-aware entity present within the workings of a computer.What is missing from a computer is the presence of a self-aware "I Am-ness" with a "personal interest" in the task it is performing.
Are "you"...
(a "self-aware" and subjectively-based "I Am-ness")
...going to argue that the same applies to a human brain?
