Please tell me do you think that someday God will let us travel across the universe

Jesus promised," Our eyes have not seen, Our ears have not heard"There is no way to really imagine what magnificence God has for us ,I think we will see the entire universe.

or it is only a dream?

We make exams easier so more people can pass. The internet means people can plagiarise. We are becoming more and more obese, consuming more and more material objects, abusing the planet and repleting its resources. The biggest and most powerful countries are led by the corrupt, ruthless or mentally retarded. The poor are getting poorer, the rich are getting richer. TV is dumbing down. What can we do to reverse this trend? (sorry to be drepressing)

the idea of solipsism.

the matrix/brains in a vat theory says that our brains could be in jars and our whole life and everything we have ever known is an illusion

solipsism is the idea that you are the only thing that exists and that your subconscious mind has created this whole illusion that is you life. nothing exists but your mind and its perception.

however, either way whether we are brains in a vat or the possiblity of solipsism. wouldnt it be contradicting and false if we as the experiencers of the illusion even call it in to question? i mean this highly complex illusion is so perfect and crystal clear down to its every detail that it has to have been created to accept as truth and reality, wouldnt it destroy the whole meaning of creating it in the first place if we recognize it as an illusion or even come up with the thought of it even being a possibility? why put stimuli or ideas in the illusion that would call it into question? Illusions are made especially in these two cases to deter you away from the truth and true reality. I mean if the two scenerios were true then why make the movie the matrix to even play in you illusion/life if it is going to give you ideas? Why even allow the thought of doubting it all even be possible?. So it would be especially designed in a way NOT to call it all into question. So the very fact that we can even question it without it all falling apart shows that this is in fact reality.

Let's face it Humans are terrible leaders of countries, they promise , yet lie. They initialy get into politics to do good, but special interest groups, friends, and lobbyist get the better of them. They honestly think they can fix the worlds problems, but only manage to make them worse.

So, what country should experiment , by having a non-human ruler ? And what should it be ?

“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” --Mark Twain

I know more about my health. My puppy is house-trained, most of the time. My home is organized and, for the first time, clean! Of course, that's because I'm moving to be near family and nearer to public transportation. By next year, I hope to be settled in and have developed a wider network of interesting friends. I also hope to be even healthier.

What about you? Where will you be?

where Time is but a loop,
A loose stitch in the universal cloth,
A Streamer might seize upon a chance, a fatal slip -
And plunge the fate of the planets into chaos...

The black monolith, the tossing of the bone... This was a visual masterpiece, as well as philosophical thriller, and throughout there are images and moments which become implanted and rooted to the mind. Decipher some of the ambiguous meanings and defend your conclusions.

...No, I did not extract a passage from an essay prompt. This is my question to you...

God places you in front of a door. Its locked, but he gives you a key that only you can use nobody else. He tells you that behind the door what you will find will change your life forever. Once the door is opened it can never be closed again, you will have to accept what is given. Something grand could happen that will make your life even better forever, or something terrible that could ruin your life forever. If you walk away from the door and decide not to open it, it will always be there. But if you don't open it, you will never know what is inside. This door will haunt you for the rest of your days unless you do open it, but you can choose not to if you decide you don't want to take the risk.

If you have something against God or something call it fate or forces of nature or whatever.... all of that is not really the point.

The point is... do you open the door?

Why can't we just be? The United States is a free country so why is there so much pressure to be one exact way? I can't stand this anymore and am contemplating suicide.

Something is seriously wrong with us. Look at all the mess that we have created in the world and also within ourselves. There has been tremendous effort for thousands of years to change human beings and the societies they have created. Look at all the different religions and organizations. They have all failed.

It requires a lot of inquiry to answer this question if there is one. Think about it.
