The Meaning of Life
What is the significance of spacial and temporal interactions with what we perceive to be life?
I believe that life is the whole creation of what we are and perceive ourselves to be.
Nothing more and nothing less. Life is the creation of our minds interacting with the
the temporal dimension, and the spacial dimension(s); all in the same moment of time(as time is relative to the observer,
time is merely a variable that we define through primitive means, Einstein theorized that all time existed inside of a
single moment, and that that moment was relative to how you observed it).
Life can also be defined as what we think. As in everyone and everything around me could
merely be a figment of my imagination. You might only exist in my mind. But this is an impossibility,
as we interact in two relative dimensions(spacial AND temporal) at once we must discard this theory. If you exist in a
single unit of time as well as in the spacial dimension it is impossible to perceive all facets of this momemt, as well as
all facets of the spacial dimension(s). All existance cannot be contained within a mind unless the mind exists outside of
the relative confinement of the two planes(as in one or the other, or neither).
Therefore we determine that life cannot be defined as anything; it merely IS. It is what we perceive, believe, and know
(or believe to know). From this we could extrapolate that there is no meaning to life. That life is meaningless.
It is impossible that life is meaningful, or meaningless, because it merely IS. We exist, not in the minds of one, or in the
minds of many, but our essence, our very existance lives in our perception of the time and space around us. We are not
thinking or feeling beings, we are merely perceptions of the same existance. We are all facets of the same infinitly-sided
gem, looking inwards.
This being stated, you may ask then, how life is created. As the universe is constantly expanding we must assume that as
more matter and energy is released into the universe, a perceptual difference(or person) may be added as well in much the
same fashion, creating a form that we, on a very basic level, imagine into solid existance. The entity itself is real, but
the physical form is merely a propogation of our minds, a so-called figment of our imagination. But how could this be so if
I already disproved just that 2 paragraphs ago? The major difference is that the entity actually exists, as well as can be
described through perceptual preconceptions about the world anyway. It is only the physical form of the entity that does not
exist in any physical manner, it is merely the catalyst for out thoughts and feelings, the inter-spacial messenger so to
speak.
