@Tycho: First I assume you are a human 'being' even though you refused to tell me what exactly it is that you are' being.'

I think I have proved to 'you' that you don't exist. If the reality we take for granted is an illusion, how could you exist? How could heaven/hell exist?

So would you still believe in God if you knew there was no pot of honey at the end of the rainbow? You can be honest, now. You are among friends.


How can you prove something that doesn't exist. To prove, you have to show.

And how can you show an illusion that another illusion exists or doesn't exist; and consequently 'ask' if the illusion believes in the illusion?

I think you are taking this Illusionist business too far!

But if by 'real' you mean 'significant', then of course illusions are real. But so is reality real!

@Wakanyugi, simply put, being is energy.

Human being is energy defined by the limits God > Man and God = Man.

So being is experiencing anything between those limits.

I would like to agree with you here. But I am afraid only up to a point.

When you speak of Energy flows, I assume you are implying that teleportation is about moving stuff from one place to the other.

Allow me to disagree. There is no moving stuff if there is no space or time.

In my opinion teleportation is about willing a differently configured reality around you, or the object you wish to 'teleport.'

It also requires a congruence of perception, shared frequency signatures of the willed reality, otherwise the 'other' would not perceive your teleported self or object.

We do this all the time - when we imagine, dream, miss someone etc. It becomes memorable only when we receive validation that we actually teleported.

I understand some people can do this at will.

Here is an experiment in teleportation: "I have several different objects on the table where I am writing this. At least one of these items will give you an idea of my location. Can you 'guess' where where I am?' A single letter will do."

Let me ask you @Wakanyugi,

Do illusions exist?

Energy is 'stuff'. Frequency is motion of stuff.

And, how can there be different 'things' on a table without motion?

Fair enough. You insist that God exists.

Justify the need and validity of a proof first.

Otherwise, our mental frequencies will fail to 'move together'.

I may be pursuing an illusion and I have other REALISTIC things to pursue.

@tycho - How is a perceptual system supposed to work? Two ways I view teleportation.First one would be to transfer matter from one place to another. Second one would be to convert matter in another place to replicate the matter of the object.Basically a photocopy.

@Wakanyugi - The limits of imagination are based on knowledge and knowledge is based on perception.

I don't like bringing Christianity into issues.I prefer my actions speak for themselves.But on that note,I know that God exists.Its not up for me to prove to others that He does,its up to others to find out,if they want.Heaven and hell begins here on earth. Illusion is a part of reality not the whole of reality.

Of late I'm obsessed with numbers. My favourite number is 9. If you add the digits of any multiple of 9,they always add up to nine.Always.I think numbers are one of the languages of the universe.

@ChessMaster, the perceptual system is the control mechanism of a given energy system which is always in pursuit of equilibrium.

That is, the perceptual system is a measure of difference between the ideal state of equilibrium and 'present' conditions, and the homeostatic resultant.

Perception is the energic interchanges of form and matter, at various energy levels. Thus frequency range differentiation is not only possible, but a reality in itself.

About teleporting. Both methods are correct and even the same in essence. This becomes easier to understand when you consider how we can use the 'Evernet' idea to teleport. One just has to wear a helmet to transfer neurological information to his digital image. The teleportation is complete if smart devices can transfer sights and scents and other sensible qualities. So matter is both transferred and copied.

Yes Numerology is not only interesting but true. We can be sure of this because numbers are symbols.

I like that.It implies perceptual systems are aware of truth and work to bring equilibrium between reality and truth.

Reality and truth. Illusions are indeed part of reality.

But what is illusion? I'd say it is a perceptual experience that corressponds to a past experience, or a perceptual inference made from past experience, but that doesn't present similar relationships like those experienced in the past.

And hence poses challenges to the 'I' concept.

That is, illusions help us to get closer to the truth. Without illusion, there'd be no Science.

Religion can only attain its purposes if it's scientific.

Past experiences can affect expectations and thus support illusions but what about situations that are based on the future. I think religion is on a higher plane than science. On that is based on truth even though they can't prove it.Faith and science won't mix so well.

Religious words have meaning, hence truth.

How can one find the truth then? Faith?

Even science rests on faith! And therefore Science is also about the future.

Yes it all comes back to faith.But its a tricky thing,because the same faith can lead on to truth or illusions. I think thats why Einstein was focused on imagination,its also about the future and possibilities.

Let us consider some religious words in the context of our conversation:

'Faith comes through hearing the Word'.

That is, faith comes through perception. Perception works to distinguish truth from illusion.

Hence faith comes through science.

I am overwhelmed by the no. of examples I can give.

'You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free'.

Consider what 'believing in the truth' without 'knowing the truth!'

One cannot be free in such a case. His faith will lack action.

How does God account for the perishing of His people?

Look at how other world religions have dealt with science. What can you see?

Illusions are good. They don't hinder truth in any way!

One is allowed to have faith in an illusion but also expected to test and confirm the truth.

Imagination is about ordering and reordering perception.

Even Revelation is a perceptual experience, and must be ordered and re-ordered.

I see your point.The truth has to be revealed eventually.His people perish for a lack of knowledge,hence science.A machine for generating knowledge.I also agree now,illusions are not bad,just test and confirm.
