In version #27 of Unbounded hope we first read the basic premise …
We seek unbounded hope for our future by doing another unique kind act, and by:
1. —exploring the orderly nature of our bountiful Universe, so we can help ourselves and others benefit from everything that it makes possible.
The Universe within which we all live is bountiful and complying to our wishes and actions, but we must behave in ways in which it is able to respond to what we seek to do. When we wish for things that are beyond its ability to deliver, it simply doesn’t deliver. It can not deliver because it doesn’t know or care. The Universe has no, as yet, clearly discernible organs of sensation and therefore has no emotional feelings for our preservation or demise. It simply carries forth with the processes that it is capable of at any specific place and moment. Many of those natural universal actions we can discover and we already have discovered. And now we do use many of these wonderful, though obscure, things the Universe can provide in our daily lives, such as our internet.
There are other things that appear to be impossible, such as moving faster than the speed of light and moving objects at a distance by moving a linked object nearby. Some people I have encountered claim they can do these things through mental processes, but they can’t do so consistently. However, my decades-long friend Paul Sirag, back in the 1960-70s, was working with UC Berkeley physics department, and they did consistently move quantumly entangled tiny things remotely in hyperspace.
These two methods appear at first glance to be similar, but one doesn’t work and the other one does.
This afternoon I attended a memorial service held at the First Presbyterian Church. The memorial was about a wonderful life of a caring man I knew only a little, but the religious songs and mental constructs of the clergy delineating the service around him bothered me. They consistently presupposed a caring loving Universe directed by a loving God who created absolutely everything and then called it “very good.”
For me, these kinds of statements are stepping beyond what the Universe can deliver. Where they do have coherence, meaning, and power is in their ability to generate the cohesion that our natural brotherly love makes possible to humans.
I have been seeking ways of finding hope in an uncaring Universe that is more founded in a reality that it can legitimately deliver.
