What Are We?

What Are We?

"You are only two things of all possibilities. One portion of you is physical and is bound to the first thing, which is the Universe. The other portion is your intangible spirit, and is similar to the laws that govern the Universe ...”

There is the physical which can be defined as existing tangibly by evidence perceived through our senses. It is also an object that occupies volume in an otherwise empty void of non-universe space. These physical objects have the familiar three x,y,z dimensions and only one other virtual dimension, which is the absolute expansion of universe space.  However, the volume expansion and size of the Universe is invisible to us.  This is because our length dimensions and measurement standards are not constant in the non-universe void into which it is expanding.  Instead, our measuring sticks, and all in it are expanding with the Universe.  So this fourth dimension virtual expansion has to be thought of from a perspective outside of the Universe.  In order to do this we have to use the Universe's initial size as a measurement standard.  By doing this we can tie all things happening in the Universe to its origin.  All actions and properties of matter exist because of the expansion of space. 

All perception of physical objects require an action exhibiting physical properties. The properties themselves are not physical … they do not occupy volume in the empty Void. They are more like what we would call spiritual (things that exist but cannot be detected by our senses directly). Universe space is physical, it occupies volume in the empty Void.   Time is a property of space, and itself is not physical. Time passes only through the creative linear expansion of space. So time is more like a spiritual creation than it is physical. Matter and mass (which is a quantity of matter) is physical, that is, they occupy volume in the Void. Gravity and inertia are properties of matter and are not themselves physical because they do not occupy volume in the Void. But again, gravity and inertia exist by virtue of an imbalance in the creative expansion of space and are more like a spiritual creation. Energy is also a property of matter, and is not physical. It is just the creative volume expansion of Universe space into the infinite Void. We cannot see all of the creative energy that is essentially causing the continuing existence of the Universe, because it is this action that is causing the physical properties that we can observe through our senses. The only energy that we can observe is the result of a change in the rate of creative expansion of space between an observed volume of space and a reference volume of space.

Scientists have been on a “Theory of Everything” quest for a long time. And really, so have the religious philosophers, except that they have made some assumptions based on a belief without any evidence in physical reality that it is true (based on faith). Some scientists have been so bold to say “If we could find the theory of everything, we would know the mind of God”. And yet, they do not acknowledge the existence of God, or anything higher than the physical reality that we can sense with our bodies. I cannot make any sense out of their reasoning when they do not acknowledge anything spiritual, or that which exists but has no tangible evidence of physical existence. What is the “nature” of logic if it is not physical?

In order to see the workings of the Universe in its entirety, we must first have humility and a philosophical view that allows for something greater than ourselves. We must accept that we have limitations in our ability to sense through our own physical inputs, the only inputs to acquire knowledge that exists in our non-physical minds. We must be able to open our minds to other possibilities of existence, and accept some things on faith (without proof) in order to grow in knowledge.

What I stated above about matter, space, time, energy, gravity and inertia, is what I believe is the truth of our physical existence. If based on faith you can accept this as the truth, this knowledge will enable you to find answers to questions you have about universe workings. In essence, this is a “Theory of Everything”. Knowledge of what the Universe consists of and what powers its existence will give you the tools to understand how it works. The depth of your understanding will be as deep as your inquiry, but you will never know the mind of God. This deep realization will come as the depth of your humility grows.
