How do you see life?

Question

Out of your eyes. You see people and things, things happen, time goes. But how do you see the world and the earth? I'm not sure what exactly im asking, but really.. tell me what pops into your mind, and i'll tell you what goes into mine too?

Be serious too, it can be short / long, as long as you mean it and its not poking fun at!

theres so many good and different answers, whoever reads this can vote and choose best answer. i appreciate all of them though. the first two are good, as well as the 4th - 7th

no one asked for short answers. write all you want if it describes what you feel, what you think, your idea.

And i really like whoever gave me the books to read, i will definitely check them out, thanks again!

Answer 1

I try to experience it most through my senses - giving them their own turn in concentration. A bit like appreciating something you normally take for granted. Being aware of your surroundings and actively taking in the details of what's around.
I end up seeing it moreso through memory and association. (In a serious sense of the terms.) That's the simple explanation...

Answer 2

I see the world as a great civilization that still has thousands (hopefully millions) of years left on this earth and in this galaxy. I don't think human beings have things quite figured out yet but we are on our way. I think the human race has a lot of potential if we don't all kill eachother first and stop unneccesary religous and political conversions. I do hope for world peace someday but I don't believe I nor my great great great grandchildren will see this happen in our lifetimes. This may sound silly, but I do believe that there are other civilizations living in this universe besides ourselves. I'm not a UFO loon but I genuinly believe that we are not alone. It's naive to think we are alone, and I dont claim to have any proof of that statement but do you think we are in this huge, ever growing universe all by ourselves? Perhaps in the future, when we advance our science and can travel from plantet to galaxies, we will have conquired many aspects of our universe that we thought were impossible. I am not a religous person but I am not an atheist either. I believe something is responsible for all this but wasting time trying to prove it only makes chaos. I do stand by my initial belief that the true meaning in life and the answer to all its questions is to love. Simply to love. It's the best most powerful emotion humans have. Second to that is our desire to know and seek answers to lifes questions. Many people tend to over think life and its meanings but to me I see it very mater of factly. THe human race has a long way to go but I believe we will make it and become a real presence through out our universe and maybe other universes if they do exist. I am very open minded when it comes to questions like the one you have asked and by far this has been the best one I have answered. Thank You for your willingness and courage to ask such an interesting question.

Answer 3

I see life as a game. A game that you have to play. You can get caught up in your surroundings, or you can create your own. Each move you make in your game, your game will then make their move. Then you have to counter, and come out at the end of the day, as either feeling great on how you played the game or dissapointed on the moves you made. In reality, I don't know if I understand the quesiton either, but I'll just give it a shot. Lets see what the counter move will be from my answer in this game of life.

Answer 4

I see people acting like robots, just following what the next guy is doing. It's sad. No one has a mind of their own. Not many people take that road not taken anymore. You only hear about that from people from the past - doing great things, things that haven't ever been accomplished.

I don't want to be a robot. I want to follow my own road.

Answer 5

Psyche and physis--soul and atomics.

Logically, nothing can come of nothing. Therefore, there was always something--either a physis which forms and rolls up Universes, or a creative Mind which frames Universes with divine Love.

Phenomenologically, the world is very intricate. The parameters of cosmos are precise to parts in many billions--any change of a percent or so, and no Universe able to support organic life.

Each atom's electronic orbitals are constantly supported by trillions of virtual photons--particles of light too quick to exist in our Universe, but without them, the electrons would spiral into the protons "instantly."

Each proton has three smaller particles, and all particles in an atom, and the atom itself, vibrate millions and billions of times per second, in patterns which reflect their surroundings.

Some scientists, e.g. Dr. Philip Morrison, author of "The Ring of Truth," believe that all atoms are different, at their level, because all have different histories.

Some scientists, e.g. Dr. Elizabeth Mayer, have conducted close statistical inquiries of e.g. Dr. Robert Jahn's Princeton PEAR work, as she describes in her "Extraordinary Knowing," and found evidence that "psyche" may influence "physis." So too Dr. William Tiller's excellent work in his "Psychoenergetic Science" and at http://www.tiller.org and David Wilcock at http://www.divinecosmos.com

This is simply at the atomic level. Scientists and mathematicians know it is next to impossible to solve what is termed the "three body problem," and four and more objects etc are basically impossible to comprehend completely. With humans, even more layers, complexities, and nuances. It is a complex world, although reducible in ways to such forms as f=ma and e=mc^2, or, less reliably, it's all about sex or money or power, etc.

So there are some general rules good for all: it's better, other things being equal, to have a healthy body temple; likewise, it's better to learn to earn, to be fruitful, to have a sacred labor; likewise, it's better, even per Pascal's wager, to love God (first or greatest sphere), love colleague as Self (concurrent, then, second sphere nestled within first), and as Messiah loves (third and smallest sphere of the three).

Some recent books which may be worthwhile:

"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D. A great and wonderful account of her carrying to term her son Adam. Highly recommended.

"Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet; best of the "Aquarian age" books.

"Watch Your Dreams," Ann Ree Colton; wisest of the dream books, imho.

"A Philosophy of Universality" and "Hope for the World: Spiritual Galvanoplasty," O. M. Aivanhov (the latter book deals with man's consciousness as it reflects in his inventions, e.g. the ruby laser).

"The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock. Food for thought.

"The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis; insightful novella.

"Hope of the Wicked," Ted Flynn. A collection of public statements, etc. Well worth reading.

"Red Cocaine," Joseph Douglass, Ph.D. Testifed before Congress on this subject, an NSA career officer, and professor. Documents another side of the world which is less-broadcast.

"University of Destruction," David Wheaton.

"When Invisible Children Sing," Dr. Huang.

"Babies Remember Birth," David Chamberlain, Ph.D.

"Life before Life," Jim Tucker, M.D.

Answer 6

I see it I as a chance to be me.
I see it as many different things black, white and all the shades in between.
I see it as a chance for our beings, souls, spirits, whatever we are to connect in many ways.
I see it as a gift and curse, I see it as the universe's way to show everything, anything, and nothing.
I try to see it in every way I can.

I hope you understand what I mean because It is really hard for me to explain.

Answer 7

Terrific question.

random thought:

1.
School physics class.
Could see teacher talking.
Was astounded that there could be such a thing as speech and hearing. Was astounded that I could hear and understand.

(We studied light and sound in physics.)

Took me a minute or so to return to normal.

Answer 8

The world is just what it "is". It's the thoughts in the mind that color the world and seem to make it what it is not!
