A Matrix Maybe

-

I wrote about this before, but I'm adding a different twist on what I said before.  Allow me to explain.  There are those who suggest our lives are lived in some kind of Matrix controlled by some master race of beings.  Someone did a comparison of the universe to the human brain.  There are those who suggest there are universes within atoms.  And there are those who say infinity isn't about how big, but how small.  

I am fascinated by space and time as I am fascinated by the concept of infinity, where space and time do not exist.  Religious people don't seem to be threatened by the thought of infinity, either large or small.  However, secular scientists tend to think of time as having both a beginning and an end.  And the idea that there is something beyind death itself simply was not acceptable, but it seems that infinity might be some kind of acceptance as a possibility.  

I am observing that it seems that the James Webb Space Telescope is continuing to cause much debate in the secular world as to how there are galaxies much like our own at the edge of the known universe.  How can this possibly be?  To say the human mind is constructed much in the same way as the universe is a stretch, but there are at least a few scientists who say the universe is a gigantic brain, constructed much in the way a single human brain is constructed.  

This giant brain is then like the Matrix. It's just that I have not seen a comparison of the universe to that of a human brain.  Such a comparison is fascinating at best.  Of course the idea behind it is that we are inside the Master Brain of the universe.  That of course would be God.  But is God a physical being?  This is why secular scientists have a difficulty with God and why time and space have both a beginning and an end.

I am at least fascinated by the ideas I've presented here, but no one really knows.  We can guess and that is all we can do.  The question that puzzles scientists about no alien life is that if we are the only beings in the whole universe, why is the universe so vast?  We could travel at close to the speed of light and never arrive at the edge of the universe.  Light is the only thing we have that can measure such a great distance. 

Is the universe all we have to know whether there is a God?  This is why each person either finds or ignores the God within.  Spiritual people connect with the God within themselves.  Why are some Spiritual and some who aren't?  I do not know.  All I have are guesses.  I simply say this is why respect for ALL Human Life matters, because each other is all we really have and know.  The Spiritual for some adds a dimension to those who aren't.  

I had another post for today, but I've favored this one for today.  I'm smoking my Savinelli Champagne Canadian pipe this morning with some Bailey's Front Porch and some of the Captains.  I enjoy smoking my pipes as I ponder the questions of the universe.  Like the universe, the human mind is filled with endless possibilities.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
