This moment has been molded by war and ideas promulgated by Relativity and Quantum Physics. These have translated to the incredible advances in technology.
Relativity states that the universe has nothing such as a passing time. The past, present and future all exist simultaneously. Time is an illusion of the human mind. That means there is no choice. Everything we are doing already exists. The past exists, the future exists and so does the present. So what is the relevance of me? What is my free will? Why should I even make any more decisions?
On the other end, Quantum Physics says that everything is a probability and nothing can be known before hand. This has been the best way of explaining almost every physical process. But as things become larger and larger; the probabilities of certain events start reducing and we get to observe the world as is. This large pattern is what is showcased remarkably by Relativity. The probability seems to lead to outcomes that have to follow this big picture. The decisions, I think I made with this moment in mind will have to comply with the bigger picture of the Universe. If it doesn’t, then that decision will not take me too far; it’s just an anomaly that will die down and pass away.
Another interesting observation has to do with how our minds decide. Turns out that the decisions I think I made were not made by my conscious mind. The unconscious mind decided something and my conscious mind simply rationalized it. Sales persons, PUA’s, and religious leaders have gotten very good at understanding and leveraging it to their advantage.
If I were to calm my mind completely and let it eliminate all thoughts, I should be able to experience the feel and pulse of this block of universe. Quantum Entanglement could be a way by which all the future would ripple through space and give cues on what will happen. The past, the present and future all are in existence and all are connected to each other. Each block can influence the other. My decisions even though made independently will comply with the big picture which is unchanging. Whatever has to happen will happen and it cannot be changed. But what and how it will happen cannot be changed. That’s fate and this is the same theories that we will be using in Viga Studios to create incredible immersive experiences.
By silencing everything and listening to the universe, I should be able to sense the block of universe I’m walking into. This is what passion, planning and foresight are all about. They help sense the pulse and make it happen; once a person is moving in that direction, everyone will follow instinctively. That’s why, “if you seek something with all your heart; the whole universe conspires to make sure you get it”. Only when something whose time has come will happen because it is in existence. On the microscale everything looks unpredictable but the big picture is predictable and is in existence.
A lot of the philosophical ideas like maya, nirvikalpa, akala are beginning to make so much more sense with this interpretation. This makes me want to meditate more and get my subconscious rise up to the conscious mind. I’ve always lived by instinct; that instinct is probably more well connected to the universe than this thinking conscious mind.
