I have set up my brain as a radio play (the one with only sound effects).
Because your brain is more or less a black box, it’s important to feel whether individual organs are operating off beat.
Via the radio play you get a sense of the state of individual parts of your body. It’s a little bit like the puppet game you can play with your hand, with the shadows, two‑sided.
Either our brains are relationship devices, or the relationship between brain and consciousness is the relationship device — I haven’t figured that out.
When I sense that there is nothing going wrong, I start overjamming some frequencies — the input signals — in my brain (especially the lower ones) to generate more output so I can figure out what is happening faster. In normal language: I start talking so fast internally to myself that I receive a lot of output.
* How to set up your brain
You can just start a universe, but you still have to create a space in which it can expand. This is more tinkering than you think.
It’s more like maybe we can put some glue here and do a little bit of this there.
You know what is so interesting about our universe? That it is ridiculously beautiful. I get annoyed by most of what I see on TV. But every time I look outside, I’m in awe. It could have been different. It could have been a bad painting. But it’s not. It’s a beautiful painting.
You know, when I figured out you can “weave” your own thoughts, life became easier in a way...
* Why creation is interwoven in the origin of our universe
A universe always has multiple beginnings, simply because there are multiple viewpoints for explaining it.
Even if there really was one beginning, one starting event, there would still be an infinite number of descriptions of how it started. If you take religion and science, that’s unbelievably similar when you take into account all the possibilities of how this universe could have started.
You could argue that it has always been here. You could argue that it started with “banana.” That it started with a fight between different energies. Or that starting is not possible when you have different simultaneous starting points. Or that it started with emotion.
When I look inside myself, for instance, and I want to see how my thoughts start, there is no real starting point, since everything in my body is a circle.
Take a mandarin. Place it in front of you.
Take one piece of the mandarin.
When does the action begin? When the mandarin is lifted? What is the start?
You could say: the moment the mandarin leaves the table and goes into the air. But you could also say: the moment you think about lifting the mandarin, everything has already been set in motion.
This is also true for a universe. Where the action on the circle begins quickly becomes a game of definitions.
