Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me?

13,500,000,000 years ago something happened, and we really only found out a few years ago. You live in amazing times. Don't say nobody told you. :) Music in the last section of the video: "EOS" b...

I have to agree with an earlier post. This is one of the best videos I've seen on youtube. Well said. The humorous aspects were sublime....probably. LOL!

It's easier to believe because it doesn't exist at all, while we "know" that what we're experiencing exists. For something to exist, nothing must not exist(nonexistence). Everything is nothing.

Great video, btw. Very good at emphasizing your mental reactions.

Each revelation is just a perception of a perception of a perception of a perception(never-ending) and so on. It's kind of like, what we search for is the one who sees. Forgot who said that though...

I've had too many revelations that quite often cause a sense of cognitive dissonance, but then some rare ones actually sustain the others to be the same by logic. Illusory aspects of other aspects just breaking off one another. That's why we can't know anything, because our illusions come from our minds, trying to think of this weird feeling of "why", when you come to the realization that you can't think of why you're thinking this, because it just leads to an endless trail of realizations.

I have had a similar experience, and the conclusion I came to was not that of atheism.
I had to acknowledge 3 things.
1- the universe is stranger than I can imagine
2- I can not jump to a conclusion based upon an emotional experience.
and 3- by nature I question everything.
the universe and my experience of life is far more fascinating to be explained by Atheism Theism or any other dogmatic extremist linear point of view,

Wonderful video. I am favoriting it and featuring it on my channel. I had this similar instantaneous revelation in 1985. Only without the tears or the anger. I never asked "Why didn't anyone tell me?" I already knew.

No false inspiration of faith can have the beauty and awe of the single revelation of natural truth. Timothy Ferris said beauty and truth are synonymous. If one can understand this and how it represents the ultimate freedom, then that person is among the very fortunate.
