Debunking God/I

So, lets "Debunk God", but it's going to take more than one letter because I need your feed back(s) to clarify any misunderstanding(s), which is the best way to keep things on the right track of understanding(s).



Bear with me with some patient forbearance because the first few paragraphs are going to be meandering and may (will!) engender some (much!) confusion. After I deconstruct the I/Ego/Self things will start to become clear, until you (FINALLY!) achieve (EXPERIENCE!) Gnosis (it could happen!!)



Let’s begin with an experience.

Breakfast:

When you awaken and struggle to climb out of bed and sleepily head for the kitchen looking in the fridge for food for breakfast, what is motivating you? Is it hunger pangs or some intellectualizing discourse you created in your (beautiful) mind? Some (a poet, for example) might answer that your breakfast dining on

'Harvest Grain ëN NutÆ Pancakes'

is to entice your gourmet palate.

However, your belly knows what the real deal is:

It is your belly saying to your mind:

"If you don't eat soon you gonna starve . . . maybe die!”

If your body, for some horrific reason gets into starvation mode, the driving motivation is to prevent starving to death; your body's will to stay alive is what motivates you (Self/Ego/I), not the WILL of the 'I'. And in such a situation, if a cockroach passes too close by it is breakfast! (Believe it!)

You might 'think' that what is motivating your breakfast dining is your I/Ego/Self taste for 'Pancakes and Eggs' but what is really motivating your actions and organizing your breakfast experience is something quite basic: Physical hunger. Your physical hunger informs the self/Ego/I. Your physical need to nutrionally support and maintain the energy/physiology/anatomy of your material body informs your Ego/I.

Now, again, the BREAKFAST EXPERIENCE:

Do you really believe you sat down listening to your Self/I/Ego think through a breakfast plan, and send its Breakfast Blueprint to your mind?

Did your I/Ego/Self say to you:

"Listen, Lindsey, this is what you are going to do; do this for me. I know you went to bed at 4am this morning and you don’t really want to get up but, just do it. Do it for me . . . come on, you can do this! There, see, you did it!

Now here is My Grand Plan, My Master Piece, My Creative Blueprint (step-by-step, it’s actually foolproof when it all comes together):

Step (0): Write all this down



(1) Stand up

(2) Put you left foot forward

(3) Now, that other foot, (I call it your 'Right Foot')
    Put your right foot in front of your left foot

(4) Keep doing that, this is known as 'walking' I
    invented this ONLY about a million years ago
    as a Grand Gesture and gift to your ancestors.

(5) Now turn your whole body directed towards the
    bedroom door and walk the way that I detailed
    above. This is called "heading out the bedroom
    in order to get to the kitchen" I tell you,
    Lindsey, after you do this enough times you'll
    soon be a pro, just trust me on this one!

(6)  Continue the 5 steps above

(7)  Now, Lindsey, as you head into the kitchen you
     will see the kitchen appliance I aptly named 'The
     Refrigerator' one of the best things yet I invented.
     Can you guess what my fridge does for the food I provide you? Go on,
     take 7 guesses. It actually prevents your eggs, veges,
     cheeses, milk from going bad/spoil for hours, days, weeks sometimes
     months in some cases many months and  . . . (I could go on and on,
     but you get my drift . . .)
    
    

(8) Ok. Use your left hand and open the right door
    (which is actually YOUR left) the beauty of it is
    that (listen to this!) you can open it with ANY
    HAND! Now, look at all the great choices I am
    making available to you. You get to choose any
    combination your little heart desire. Choose
    anything and I will see that your hands prepare it deliciously
    (unless they know what’s good for them!)
    
After I instruct your hands how and what to get, I will instruct and make your legs walk (Not to worry, I’ll teach your legs the difference between walking backwards and forwards) to what I call a 'Gas Stove'. You cannot begin to GUESS what this little gadget of mine does? Okay, okay, I'll let you 'Turn it On':

(9) With your thumb and forefinger
(10)Turn one of the little white 'knobs'
(11)And see what I make happen?
(12)An old invention of mine that humanity finds   
    Indispensable to this day. Without this, one of my most awe inspiring
    Innovative inventions, there literally would be no civilization.

(13) FIRE!!!

     And there is . . .

(14) . . .
 

And not to mention . . .

Step (20, 000, 000) . . ."

<If all the steps the I/Ego/Self 'wrote out' are delineated here, you would soon drop dead from starvation)

The body does no thinking and does not ask to see or do any writing. The body just gets out of bed and uses its hand, mouth, etc and feeds. And feeds its Ego/I/Self a satisfying and filling breakfast in under a minute flat! No sweat; no memorizing any step-by-step million little details. Isn't the body wonderful: what it would take your ‘I’s mind forever to think through in detail; you (the body) does in a snap!

The truth is there is no I/EGO/SELF. I/Ego/Self is an delusion.
Where in the body is ‘I’, ‘EGO’ or ‘SELF’. Explore thoroughly any
and all part of your anatomy and physiology. Explore with a tooth pick
any part of your biology and you find no ‘I’, ‘EGO’, ‘SELF’!


When you delusionally believe that your ego/I informs, directs your will, that it is the creative, controlling force in your life, you are actually standing the true nature of your experiences on its head.

As far as ‘breakfast’ is concerned, it is the basic PRIMARY physiological and biological nutritional needs of the body that is the motivating, organizing principle that is driving it to ‘breakfast’, to eat, in order to keep itself alive. 

When I/Self think: "Some cereal would be nice this morning, and I think I would really enjoy some Cocoa puffs!" This thought is very SECONDARY as far as an 'organizing, motivational principle' goes, wouldn't you say?

Sure you have choices that you have a "free will" to make, but the need to eat to live does not involve any 'free will'. You cannot choose NOT TO EAT at all (unless you have a death wish, that is!). You have a choice of what you want to eat, but, in life, you choosing NOT to eat is not an option! It is not the 'will' of the "I" that is the motivating principle in you, generating your desire. It is the body’s 'biological principle' to continue its physiological life that is the necessary motivating force.


Let’s revisit portions of the blog

"OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE REALITY, RELOADED"

Specifically “The Ashley Dialogues” portion:


ASHLEY IS STILL ASLEEP EVEN THOUGH IT IS 10AM ON A WORK DAY. CONCERNED, I KNOCK ON HER DOOR:




"KNOCK!! KNOCK!!"



"Go away! . . . What?"

"Aren’t  you late for work?"


"I don’t feel like working anymore, I quit!


"OOKAY"

SOMETIME LATER (A FEW WEEKS HAVE PASSED):

 "Ash, we need to talk. The family's economic situation has taken a turn for the worse; you will have to contribute a little more from now on"


"Dad a few weeks ago I had this thought that I did not need to work anymore, and my Ego motivated me to quit my job"


"Your 'EGO' strongly advised you to stop working for a living?"


"Well my Ego reasoned that I will be living here forever and you and mom will support me economically"


"Ashley, where is your EGO at this moment?"


"Dad, even though you can’t see or hear my Ego, it's right here, right now"

"So, Ash, you are saying this ego that I can neither see nor hear motivated thoughts in you to quit your job?"

 "Well, kind of . . . I heard voices in my head about quitting and agreed to take the advice"


"And these voices are controlled and created by your ego, that entity that can neither be seen nor heard. Is that right? This ego tripping you speaks of, could it be a hallucination you are having; could it   be an illusion you are hallucinating? I think you are ego tripping about your present temporary care free economic circumstances"

 "Are you saying, dad, you are not REALLY going to support me financially and economically forever?"

 "Yes, Ashley; the thought you just expressed is not andelusion; the thoughts you just expressed were motivated by your real financial and economic dire circumstances"

 "So, dad, there is no Ego impelling my actions?"


No. The belief of having an ego is false; it is an delusion. What is motivating you and what will continue to propel you are the challenges and opportunities of material circumstances you are and will continue to grapple with throughout your life! There is no 'Ego Puppet Master' creating, controlling or pulling the strings of your motivating thoughts. Your real environmental milieu triggers, controls and motivates and actually directs your life experiences, as well as your thought experiences.


So, where does ‘God’ fit in all this? Well, you begin by saying(This delusional), ‘I’, is the organizing principle of my/me and my life.  Then you project this ‘I’ on to the universe at large, and this larger than life projected ‘I’ becomes a Larger-Than –Life/LARGER-THAN-THE-UNIVERSE ‘GOD’that is believed to be the organizing principle of all life and the whole Universe. This GOD is an illusion deluding you, just like ‘I’.


IHOP

Let us look at an IHOP breakfast experience.


Sooner or later the body gets hungry and needs to nourish itself with some food. My stomach thinks it is breakfast time. It's rumbling and talking to me. The name of my stomach is LinZ:

"Hey Dad, its LinZ. Please wake up. It's time for breakfast. Wouldn't you go for 6SCRAMBLED EGGS, 12HASH BROWNS, just a few STRIPS of BACON (14 or 20) and a TALL GLASS of OJ?"


"I am SOOO Tired!" (Dad yawns and looks at the clock).
“LinZ, it's 3am! Why are you waking me up?"

"Are you sure it's not 10am, it feels like Breakfast time?"

"Well, ITS NOT!! Wake me at eight.
(Dad turns over and   goes back to sleep).

"Dad . . . Dad . . .?"

"What is it now, LinZ?"

"Dad, good. You are awake"

"LinZ, why did you wake me again? It had better be 10am . . .” (dad looks at the time). . .
“Do you realize what time it is!? ITS, ITS five minutes pass three at night!"

"Dad, its 3:05am"

"Didn't I just SAY THAT!?

"Dad, no. You said 'its 3:05 at NIGHT'.

(Dad gets up looking down at LinZ, and snarls):

  "WHAT is THE DIFFERENCE! It is NOT breakfast time YET!"

"But, dad, I am starving!! Please get up and make us some breakfast, PRETTY Please, Dad?"

"So you want six scrambled eggs, twelve hash browns, fourteen to twenty strips of bacon and a tall glass of orange juice?  I see you are not going to stop BUGGING ME until I get up and go to IHOP and feed you breakfast!"


"YEAH! YEAH!!. . . I love you, Dad!”


  (Dad talks on his droid briefly and hangs up with IHOP)

"LinZ, guess what"?

"What, Dad? What!!” LinZ screams excitedly.

"I called IHOP and they do not serve breakfast at
 THREE-O-FIVE at night, THREE-O-FIVE in the morning or 3:05am. . . Sorry. GO BACK TO SLEEP!!"


"BUMMER!” LinZ cries out.


Luckily, LinZ went back to sleep at 3:30am, allowing Dad to get some well needed sound sleep. Happily, however, at 9am LinZ and Dad had that delicious IHOP breakfast experience!

HUNN, HUNN/GER and “I"
and the musical
‘Breakfast at IHOP'

Hunger for nourishment generates a process, or a web of experiences, to satisfy that nourishment need. This hunger-need for nourishment (aka HUNN), selects only certain specific types of 'actors' or 'players' for its nourishment-satisfying 'orchestra'. However, In order to meet her needs, HUNN "orchestrates" only certain select players.

The ‘star player’, as he calls HimSELF in all the various 'Breakfast-Orchestras' is "I"

HUNN's agent, HUNN/GER, pulls "I" into the orchestra. HUNN instructs  HUNN/GER to feed into "I"’s Ego, and convince Him He is ‘The Star’ of the ensemble. HUNN/GER puts "I" in charge of selecting the ensemble of breakfast players. "I" also organize and conduct the Players of all the different choruses.

The piece they are about to play is the musical

'Breakfast-at-IHOP'(aka 'BHIP')- The Musical.

Let us look more closely at the star actors of the orchestra playing the world renowned musical, 'Breakfast-at-IHOP', (aka 'The BHIP').
This bears no relation to and should not be confused with the imitation you might have heard about, 'The BRAT'
(aka Breakfast at Tiffany's)

**************************************************************************************************************************************************

 Hunger for Nourishment, whom we met briefly, and known fondly by all the different breakfast ensemble players as

1. HUNN

And we also met Her agent,

    2. HUNN/GER


But of most (self) importance is
                               3. "I”



"I" will say to you:


‘I am sure you are glad to meet me. I can't begin to imagine how awed you are, and I share in your excitement and joy!! You may call me "I"; actually, all the players fondly address me as "I". You know, they all tell me it's a term of endearment, and I am so happy for them! By allowing "I" to give meaning to their short lives says to them and to everyone for that matter, that nobody else, but nobody, can conduct this orchestra. Oh. Did I forget to mention that I am the only conductor of all the different Breakfast Players Orchestras? Today I am going to lead them in the grandest rendition, of "Breakfast at IHOP" they will ever experience. They tell me, this ensemble always say to me (and only me): "Maestro, you are a God send!” Come to think of it, everyone tells me "Maestro, you are the best of all times; the greatest Maestro there ever was, is and will be!” This ensemble, and all my other ensembles for that matter, will never let you forget it.  Truth be told, I am THEE Conductor, Period. It’s very-very,very-very, VERY VERY important for you, and for everyone for that matter, to always-always-always, ALWAYS bear this in mind, ALWAYS!! I am very-very, very-very, VERY VERY important, you know. Did I forget to mention my singular importance? I am widely, and wildly and fondly, called "I".

As you may have noticed, all my orchestras the world over fondly refer to me as "I". Formally though, you really should address me as Your-Holy-"I"-NESS.

I can see it pleases you to call me "I". You are very fond of "I", aren't you? Okay, since it pleases you to call me "I", you may refer to me as "I", since you insist!”


As you may have noticed by now,



















"I"












































HimSELF,
is quite
































Thee EGO!










AWAKENING


The Master, HUNN, awakens and is now hoping HUNN/GER has prepared a good musical that will satisfy Her musical needs. HUNN/GER tells Her that he knows of a very popular musical called ‘The BHIP’, and that he knows the most gifted and magnificent conductor who will gather the perfect ensemble to play it. HUNN has had ‘The BHIP’ played before and tells HUNN/GER it s a ‘splendid choice’. ‘Yes, it is! I will text him right away, Your Highness, my Master’. HUNN hates these pretentious titles but reminds HUNN/GER not to forget to address ‘You-Know-Who’ as 
‘His-Royal-(Pain-In-The-BUTT)-Holy-"I"-Ness'

HUNN/GER picks up his Droid and sends "I" a text asking him how 'His-Holy-"I"-Ness' feels about getting 'The Breakfast Players' Troupe together for a big gig with The Boss this week-end. "I", who likes to speak of himself in the third person, replies to HUNN/GER that "I" has  a full schedule this week-end, and that HUNN/GER should try "I" later and "I" will see if it is at all possible that "I"  can fit HUNN/GER  into his tight schedule  this week-end. Then, just to turn the knife into HUNN/GER's stomach, "I" would text: 'But "I" really don't see how. You might have to get somebody else, you know. Tell my dearest Master HUNN "I" always enjoy conducting for Her.  Tell The Boss, my sweet Master HUNN, it is truly flattering when She especially requests “I” to play. Please, tell Master HUNN “I” shall make a Heroic effort to join with Her this week-end! HUNN/GER, "I" has to run. "I" am in the middle of another magnificent performance. The place is really more jam-packed than ever!’

HUNN/GER begins to panic because he really needs to please The Boss. HUNN/GER pleads to "I" that he needs him  desperately. He will do ‘whatever it takes’, pay ‘any price’, bear ‘any burden’ and ‘move mountains’ to get him to get the best gals and guys together to orchestrate the best rendition of ‘The BHIP’, and reminds "I" that he well knows how ‘The Boss can get’ when She does not get Her needs met. "I" writes on his “I”phone 'HUNN, She is such an untalented Putts Head! Doesn't She know who "I" am?!' but thought better of it and didn't hit 'SEND' on his “I”phone.

The Master, HUNN, is a patient master but can only tolerate “I”'s  Ego so much and no more. And deep down HUNN/GER hates begging “I” to conduct the orchestra. HUNN/GER often times talk nastily about “I”, but only behind his back. "Maestro" my ass, he can be such an over bearing d***h**d. ‘Address me as Your-holy-"I"-Ness what an insufferable bore. . .' And so HUNN/GER would rant on and on, sometimes spitting saliva on the ground around him. HUNN turns to HUNN/GER and says to him ‘HUNN/GER, you know I only put up with “I” because he is really quite gifted at conducting any orchestra. Moreover no one, but no one else can orchestrate ‘The BHIP’ more magnificently than “I”’. HUNN/GER pipes in, ‘Yeah and he knows it only too well!’ OOO, EXCUOOSE mee! I meant, "I" knows it'. HUNN/GER  would then spit  at his feet and rant on continuously. HUNN is sympathetic but She has no one else to do this (dirty)  work but HUNN/GER. Furthermore, there is no one more capable of stroking “I”’s Ego than HUNN/GER. During HUNN/GER's rant The Boss would say 'Wow! Look at the time, listen, HUNN/GER, I have a hair appointment. I'll be  back soon. Be a dear and get "The Maestro" and his Breakfast Players orchestra ASAP!’. HUNN/GER would whisper to himself  'Maestro , my ass! “I” . . .  Putts Head!  . . EXCU-OOOSE ME,  Your-Holy-BUTT-HEADED-"I"-Ness'. And let fly a big gob of saliva. And thinking to himself ‘If only "I" wasn't such a peerless,  magnificent,  inspired  musical conductor I'd kick him to the curb faster than you could say "JACK RABBIT!".

HUNN/GER would sigh, cover his face with both hands and say,  to no one in particular,  ‘My God!! Why, Master HUNN? Why!? Why did you have to make "I" so damn perfect!?’ HUNN/GER would then pick up his Droid, begin the most flattering text to “I” with 'Your-Holy-"I"-Ness . . .’, hit ‘SEND’, and then HUNN/GER would suddenly get sick and vomit in his own mouth.


SYMBOLISMS


The Master, HUNN, symbolizes The Mysterious Source of Reality. HUNN/GER represents all the agents of Master HUNN's will, needs, desires, wants and  satisfaction. HUNN/GER further symbolizes all  pressures that constantly push the 'conductor' ,  "I",  to organize and 'harmonize' the many various ‘orchestras', The various Breakfast Players ensembles are troupes of select players selected by "I", The Maestro/Conductor. "I" is the active direct agent of Master HUNN who orchestrates the various troupes to create the various renditions of  ‘The BHIP’ experience (life experiences). ‘The BHIP’ is the musical satisfaction (life experiences) being played in the NOW.  ‘The BHIP’ further symbolizes the different specific ‘musical scores’. And ‘The BHIP’ also symbolizes the actual satisfaction of Master HUNN's (musical) needs, desires, wants, etc.



Reality, life and love,  exist through the THE WILL  of The Master, HUNN.







Symbolisms (Explained Better)


"I" is a dog on a leash. The 'leash' is the agent of consciousness that is used to keep "I" under control. The leash is being held by consciousness. "I" is directly acting within experience, ‘gathering the frisbee in the park’. Consciousness is the epitome of wisdom that is calmly,silently and subtly sending messages and instructions to "I" through the leash/agent. "I"/Mind/MySelf/Ego is always an obvious presence. “I” is clearly seen always acting and active, and gives the illusion that this is the 'creative, directing controlling force’ in YOU.

Look more deeply and closely however, and you realize that it is your consciousness that is the real creative, organizing and controlling presence in your life, not "I", which is just an illusion, the
pretend-creativity in you, 'Dog-On-A-Leash',  
Puppet-On-A-String . Without consciousness, "I" does not know that it is doing (that is, experiencing) and does not know what it is that it is experiencing. Consciousness enables" I" to know that it is doing and what it is doing. Consciousness has" I" on a leash because, if it is not leashed, “I" could veer off the chosen path, creating unnecessary problems for ‘everyone concerned’. Meaning, unnecessary conflicts between the Tripartite-You (Consciousness-Leash/Agent-“I”). "I" is the part of the self-aware body, that is, the Tripartite-You, that directly experiences. The leash/agent is your ‘middle man’ of the Tripartite-You that communicates information between your consciousness and your “I”. However, consciousness is the part of this ‘Trio in You’ that interprets and understands what the experience is all about. The source of Your Consciousness, and the source of this 'Trio in You' is The Mysterious Source of Reality


Strings_Superstrings_Things_and_Life


About fourteen billion years ago The Universe was a near-perfect tiny massive ball of strings. However it was under stress from the natural entropy that is an integral part of it. The stress of the entropy overcame the gravitational force binding up this massive tiny ball of superstrings, causing it to explode massively. Out of this massive explosion came, by the trillions and trillions of quadrillions, particles like quarks, gluons, electrons, neutrinos, photons, Zee-nought, W-plus, W-minus, and the Higgs Boson. Over time protons and neutrons formed (proton=up-quark_up-quark_down-quark=uud; neutron= up-quark_ down-quark down-quark =udd). Then protons began to bind with electrons and neutrons creating hydrogen atoms. There are three types of H's: Hydrogen (H; or 1 proton), Deuterium (D; or 1 proton and 1 neutron), Tritium (T; or 1 proton and 2 neutron.). At that time, 300, 000 years after the massive explosion, the matter it created was almost all hydrogen and helium; but there were traces of lithium and beryllium. Maybe about a million years after the creation of this matter consisting of mostly hydrogen and helium, stars begun to form by the gravitational attraction between hydrogen atoms and helium atoms. Over the next few billion years the universe consisted of stars in huge conglomerates called galaxies. About five billion years ago The Solar System begun to form. About four and half billion years ago the Earth was created out of "star dust" (literally). Earth chemistry became more complicated, becoming Earth biochemistry. Earth biochemistry gave rise to emergent DNA-biochemistry and RNA-biochemistry. DNA and RNA have the unique ability to make copies of themselves; DNA copies itself, RNA copies itself, or DNA molecules self-replicate themselves, and RNA molecules self-replicate themselves. The DNA and RNA copies made through replication are not always perfect copies. So eventually imperfect copies of DNA and RNA molecules are made. Now you have an accumulation of DNA and RNA variants, or mutant DNA and RNA. Those mutants that can adapt to the environs they find themselves in are a better fit and will survive in those environs best; this maybe referred to, classically as "Survival of the Fittest". But it makes sense that if a mutant is a better fit or the best fit for the environment it will tend to flourish better/best than those mutants that fit poorly or just does not fit at all. This process of replication (natural ability to self-copy), mutation ("bad copies"from copying errors) and selection (better/best mutant fit to its environ) is called "The Evolutionary Algorithm". The bottom line is, where there are replicators self-copying, you are bound to have mutant copies, and those mutant copies that can survive better or best in the environs they find themselves, will survive, because they are the fittest, and the fittest mutants tend to survive better than the less fit mutants(WOW!)

Another name for this Evolutionary Algorithm is "Evolution by Natural Selection" (aka Darwinism). After about four billion years of this algorithm playing out (that is, after billions of years of REPLICATION-VARIATION-SELECTION  of bio-molecules (DNA/RNA) you get complex genomes, which are huge conglomerations of genes. The Human Genome, for example is a conglomerate of about 30,000 genes working together as a team to grow and maintain an individual organism called a "Human Being". The Tree of life began as a biochemical bacteria-like single cell.

Starting out as a microscopic single living cell, The Tree of Life is being unendingly processed through this REPLICATION-VARIATION-SELECTION algorithm. After more than three and a half billion years of this evolutionary process it has grown into a huge, strong and vibrant tree consisting of a few million branches called biological species. Of course, the reason each and every living life form share the same Genetic code (which consist  of a set of  20 Amino Acids, each paired up with a set of Gene codons in a one to one correspondence)is simply because this MOTHER CELL passed down the Genetic Code to her descendants, that is, all life forms, including US! The "Family Jewels", The Genetic code, was inherited from this One Mother that emerged on The Good Earth more than three and a half billion years ago. It is for this reason and no other that The Genetic Code in a blade of grass, The Genetic Code in an elephant and The Genetic Code in every single living thing is exactly identical. Lindsey, you are a product of this process of Evolution by Natural Selection. Lin! Look at you! A sweet fruit of the Darwinian Tree of Life!!!

CONCLUSION(S)


Cosmologically, The Big Bang emerged from String Theory. And, cosmologically speaking, our universe was created, within the first minute of the first second, perfectly for the emergence of The Tree of Life.

Philosophically, The Mystery is The Source of Reality. It is The Source of String Theory. It is The Source of all Big Bang Cosmologies. The Mystery is The Source of The Universe/Multiverse. Philosophically, The Mystery is THE SOURCE. However, science does not (YET!)know the true nature of this source.



The Mother of Superstring Theory,
The Mother of The Universe/Metaverse,
The Mother of Reality, and
The Mother of The Tripartite-You is
The Mysterious Source of all Existence.
