'Pneuma' Articles
Life consists of two aspects. The phenomena, or that which is evident to the senses, and the pneuma, or that which lends character, substance, behaviour, or animation. The pneuma sets the form of material existence, and is not bound by the little sparks of energy that we think of as the loci of phenomena. The pneuma collapses into various states that are us as individuals.
You are not an object. You are not a body. You are not a memory or a history. You are not a creation of a artificer or artificial God. You are not the product of some mysterious mechanics. You are living meaning, not living thinking. You are here, because here is here.
“What difference is there, do you think, between those in Plato’s cave who can only marvel at the shadows and images of various objects, provided they are content and don’t know what they miss, and the philosopher who has emerged from the cave and sees the real things?” Desiderius Erasmus (Dutch Priest, Humanist and Editor of the New Testament, 1469-1536)
Lost In The Real
The topic is the cosmic pneuma. Weird sounding topic I know, but I will explain. Life consists of two aspects. The phenomena, or that which is evident to the senses, and the pneuma, or that which lends character, substance, behaviour, or animation, if you will. This facet of reality is all inclusive, but most deem it imperceptible. They spend a great deal of time going in circles engaging in what they feel to be sagacious speculation about the ultimate “why” of everything in the phenomenal world. Supposedly, much wisdom comes from this. What do you think, friends? This reminds me… Seek More
World Of The Pneuma
I have always felt that God is an internal presence, so we are omniscient as far as God is. But then I ask myself, why can’t we all be Gods? Valid question, and one still unanswerable in that sense. Your consciousness is not your brain. It is not your body. It’s actually not your person as you understand it in any normal sense. Your consciousness, and our ability to be aware, are implicate to the wholeness of reality. We don’t own our bodies. We just rent them? It’s even weirder than that. The body as a property doesn’t even exist.… Seek More
Pneumatic Interface
Your pneuma merges with that of all other entities. It is omnipresent. Like the holy ghost of Christian philosophy? Somewhat. It has a great many parallels. This is why it is acceptable to explain it as universal chi. Like the collective unconsciousness? That collective unconscious is one facet of the pneuma, but it’s not species specific. The pneumatic interface is as all encompassing as material reality itself. It runs all through it. We just access the species consciousness a bit more easily when we operate from our organic forms. Like the body is a big flashlight that illuminates only the… Seek More
Living Meaning
All energy falls into the baseline field. The zero-point energy field which is a constant non-degrading carrier wave. What my statement means is that there is no such thing as a “you” event. All events are universal events, or a world event, and there is no such thing as a human event. Your heart beat is the heart beat of the universe, and your bad mood is a cosmic bad mood. Now fortunately, just as I said there are beings that exist in a higher resolution state than we do, and though they cannot break the pneuma and would not… Seek More
Relationship to Pneuma
Our relationship to pneuma comes down to time. Time as an object doesn’t exist. Time is a dialogue and exchange. Like coming into the online world of Second Life, the server says things to your computer and your computer says things back to the server. From most peoples point of view, the time channel seems pretty stable, little lag, but it’s actually got all sorts of lag. In fact, infinite lag. Events in phenomenal reality are like watching paint dry. Something to do with all things actually occurring now? So no stream? Yes. So time and thus material reality has… Seek More
Culture The Energy
There are consequences for the influence of our focus, and humans are not graceful viewers. They are not the only ones watching either. Our planet is a huge viewer (much like we come into Second Life with viewer software), and the definitions that are part of the world viewers nature are beginning to get buggy, unstable. I knew the planet was peeking at me while I showered. It showered with you. The planet is why you have water. It also shaves with you, as it’s why you grow whiskers. I hope my girlfriend doesn’t find out. Well, the planet is… Seek More
