Pantheism - The Forever All

This is an introduction video expressing some of the core ideas of my philosophical views. I believe the universe has always been here and always will be, and that all things in the universe are ultimately connected. I believe that the universe is infinite and indestructible. I believe it is balanced and conserved.

The title of the music score used in this video is "Titans" by Vangelis, which was used in the motion picture "Alexander" (2004).

Below I have provided all the text used in this video:

In My Opinion . . .
There is the All.
The All is everything
and every thing is of the All.




The All was not created.
It has always been here and always will be,
like the mathematical construct 1 + 2 = 3
or the 3 sided triangle
or the color wheel.
These concepts truly have no beginning nor an end.

The All is responsible for your existence.
Aside from requiring the obvious, such as a brain, a heart, a digestive system, etc.,
you require all else beyond your apparent body.
For instance, you require water to hydrate your body,
an atmosphere to hold the water into liquid form,
a strong gravitational force to compress gases into such an atmosphere,
a planet to provide the gravity and to serve as a platform,
a source of heat energy to warm things up.
Atoms are needed to form these gases, planets and stars.
Space is needed for these objects to occupy, and so on.

In short, you require the All, an infinite system, in order to exist.
The All is what makes any one thing possible.
It constantly sustains you.
Each thing, no matter how insignificant it may appear,
plays its part in sustaining you.
Therefore, since the All is required for you to exist, you should realize . . .

You are the All.

You are the All trying to perceive itself,
trying to understand itself,
and trying to know itself.
You are the forever cosmic tree, whose branches never end.




Yet you are not alone.
You are actually in infinite company.
I too am the All.
So is your neighbor.
And so is the smallest house fly.
But you are the All from your own special position in time and space, which allows you to forever remain unique.
But in a deeper sense, we are all the same.
We all have our moments of fear,
moments of jealousy,
moments of embarrassment,
moments of anger,
and thankfully . . .

moments of pure joy.

The All is indestructible,
which means you too are, ultimately, indestructible.
Your mind will move from one life to the next, forever and ever.
However, you will at times forget your true identity.
But thankfully, you will at times be reminded by the All who and what you really are.
That true version of you that goes far beyond what you may normally see as your local self,
and that is

The Forever All,

an inescapable system of profound order, which will forever remain balanced and conserved.

If you are a good student, learn the great lessons it has to teach.
If you can read the pages of life, then try to enjoy the epic story it tells.
When you truly understand it,
you will be in awe of its magnificence.
You will marvel at its complexity and perfection.
It will be your greatest epiphany.
You will truly know it is the ultimate kingdom, and that this kingdom is truly you!




The All can never be fully understood, for it is ultimately unknowable. It's like trying to stare too deeply into the light of the Sun to see its core only to be blinded. Though enough evidence of the All is available for us to use our "mind's eye" so-to-speak to understand it well enough without being permanently blinded. At times you will need to glance away from the brilliant light of truth to give your eyes a rest. Instead of staring at it dead on, use the corner of your eyes.

It is difficult to discuss the true nature of the All or to describe its true form, for we the perceivers have always experienced it only in part, from a limited point-of-view. It can all be greatly misunderstood, but I will do my best to describe my take on it in future videos. I will at times discuss the All as it is, in its true form, but I will also describe the All through the eyes of the perceiver. Hopefully, you will know one from the other, eventually, if not right away.

How do pantheists reconcile the Hilbert's Hotel paradox? It basically proves that physical infinites are impossible. This is why pandeism makes more sense to me then patheism.

[GuyusSeralius]

@metallica04100 Part 4 of 4: There are too many concepts that seem eternal to me and defy creation like the concept of a triangle, the color wheel, and the mathematical construct 1 + 2 = 3. These concepts must have always existed and must have always held true. However, as I have stated in my writings and in my videos like "How I Define The Universe as a Pantheist," life is the ultimate paradox. It is the Yin and the Yang. In one sense it is all infinite and in another sense it is all finite.

[metallica04100]

@GuyusSeralius Interesting. Regarding the cyclic patterns, many eastern faiths believe in a sort of cyclic pattern of the universe. However, they extend that to human life. As the universe goes through a circular motion, so to does life on a constant cycle of rebirth. Do you believe this? Also, doesn't someone need to create the "circle" of the universe anyways?? I mean, seriously, why are we here? I find it incomprehensible to call it so random.

[GuyusSeralius]

@metallica04100 Part 1 of 4: I'm familiar with some of the Buddha teachings, but not enough to know if my cyclic views are the same. In my view, the universe as a whole remains constant and unchanged, but there are cyclic changes from within so-to-speak, like an eternal flame which consists of all sorts of energetic activity like molecules quickly moving about and changing their form, yet overall the flame remains a flame. I believe we the perceivers are on a continuous cycle of death & rebirth.

[GuyusSeralius]

@metallica04100 Part 2 of 4: This eternal flame is always fed fuel, which is always converted into waste, which is always converted back into fuel. The universe is the ultimate self-perpetuating machine. Life has its seasons and cycles, but the entire wheel of life is always present. Speaking figuratively and literally, 1/4th of the infinite All is always spring, 1/4th always summer, 1/4th always fall, and 1/4th always winter, but we perceivers experience the seasons one at a time, in cycles.

[GuyusSeralius]

@metallica04100 Part 3 of 4: "Why are we here?" is one of the most profound questions ever asked. I could never adequately explain it within these limited text comments, but a really short answer is we, along with the infinite universe, have to exist. It's not possible for it to all not exist. In the same way 4 must be > 3. No one can force it to be so, nor the reverse. It just is what it is. We are here to laugh, to cry, to know suffering, to know joy, and to learn the lessons of life.

[GuyusSeralius]

@metallica04100 Part 4 of 4: I'm a strong believer that the universe, overall, is NOT random, which I briefly discuss in my video "Why I View The Universe As God." There is only perceived randomness. It is all purposeful. Each aspect of the universe plays an equally important role in the overall scheme, to provide the events and stories of life we the perceivers experience. I hope to soon publish an e-book I've been working on over the years to express my views in more length and detail.

I have been an atheist to this day, but pantheism is not far from atheism and seems very interesting.

[enchantedwood]

Beautiful!

[metallica04100]

@GuyusSeralius cool

[ffcro90]

interesting...this is almost same as teaching of Buddha:)...so now I can be agnostic theist, buddhist and pantheist at the same time with same beliefs:)

[GuyusSeralius]

@metallica04100 Part 3 of 4: I've always had trouble with creation theories because no matter what initiated the beginning, whether it was a "Big Bang," or a god, something must have initiated the initiator, and so on leading into an infinite chain of causation. However, I do believe big bangs occur in nature. In fact, I believe big bangs and big crunches are always occurring throughout the infinite universe in a cyclic fashion. But in terms of ultimate creation, it seems to dig a deeper hole.

[GuyusSeralius]

@metallica04100 Part 2 of 4: Also, if one of the seemingly opposing premises can be shown to be invalid or untrue, the paradox is dissolved. Hilbert's Hotel Paradox involves a premise that is mechanically and physically unrealistic and could never occur in the real physical world. It can only exist in the abstract. There are physical laws in nature that limit what the physical universe can do. For example, nature could never allow an infinitely long, unbroken pencil to exist.
