Well if there is nothing I wouldn’t know. Granted my belief is based on faith but nobody can truly say what happens after death with full certainty. Even those with NDE experiences. While I believe them it all could be in the mind. I’ve had some paranormal experiences that lead me to believe there is more to life than three physical dimensions. God has always made sense to me but I’ve been going to church as long as I can remember and most of my life life has been mostly traditional/Christian areas.
Even with discoveries on quantum physics or consciousness, you don’t think there could be more outside our physical reality?
I've studies physics, so to be honest, it's shown me where God isn't.
We already exist in at least four dimensions. The many fields that intersect with spacetime are very interesting, but none of them provide a God. God is a literary device, not a scientific one. A tool to help you in right-ordering yourself and the world around you. God can not be found among muons subatomic particles, the colors of Quantum Chromodynamics, or among the binary pulsars of the galaxy.
God will not be found in science, because science tells you about the material world.
I too have had paranormal experiences, I remain convinced that the "arrow of time" is merely a perception, and that reverse causality seems to be absolutely possible. That humans may even have some basic capability of premonition, because time is only an axis of spacetime and isn't the barrier people think it is.
But God still isn't going to be found there either.
As for consciousness...
The thing which you are is an humanoid ecosystem designed to be a self-contained unit for survival and perpetuation of the ecosysem of many different life forms within the thing which you are.
"You" are a brilliant evolutionary creation. The body and it's ecosystem of life isn't capable of chemically or physically detecting enough information to respond correctly to stimuli. Instead "You" are an abstract creation, built to use pattern-recognition and long-term time preference to survive longer and prosper more than any other lifeform that has ever existed. "You" are quite the accomplishment. "You" are an abstraction, a metaphysical construct in a fully material world. "You" are designed to help your material form survive as long as possible. That thing which you are, needs "Your" help. One of "Your" greatest advantages is "your" ability to abstract and create narratives to understand the information presented by the world, but never forget that "Your" dynamic and abstract nature exists to benefit the thing in which you are. "You" have been granted a moment of existence, but with that comes an obligation to the thing which you are. "You" must help yourself. Yourself needs "You".
Gotcha. Well I mentioned paranormal experiences due to the fact that they hunt at something more but granted that isn’t proof of God. I believe but I admit it’s faith. There are things that lead me to believe in God but I can’t write a formula and prove the existence. A very interesting chat.
As for the paranormal what happened to you? Generally speaking? Immune was ghost related and Dream related. I also tried astral projection but got scared. I too believe that premonitions can be possible and think that there is something to esp
Long story short, premonitions. Seeing future events. Going into detail would be a bit too personal. But suffice it to say, I think trauma seems to have some sort of bi-directional temporal impact.
I can't even remotely explain how, but the idea of premonition in war and combat seems to be a very common occurrence. It's the classic "I got a bad feeling about this" but cranked up to 11. People see shit that happens, or shit that didn't happen because they avoided it. Sometimes it's dreams, and sometimes it's just extremely intense emotion.
I agree. Also with years of reading up on ghost stories it’s interesting how there seem to be “echoes” where tragedy happened or on battlefields. Also it seems people are visited by deceased loved ones within a short time after death.
I remember a scientist who took premonitions seriously and had a theory like you were saying
