eternity of fire, to burn poor Chalca to a temporary, smoking smear and laugh at her astonishment...<br> | |||
we are all full of these perverse impetuosities.</span></small><br> | |||

It is one thing to purge yourself of all incorrect and unacceptable thought. It is another to know it<br> | |||
and accept it and to let it be.</span></small> | |||
:: When you have reliable instruments of measurement,<br> | |||
:: you may then measure yourself. Truth is universal, but<br> | |||
:: universal truth can only be acquired through personal<br> | |||
:: truth. This is the foundational paradox of Gnosticism. To<br> | |||
:: know anything beyond the self requires self-knowledge, but<br> | |||
:: the self cannot be known without understanding the laws<br> | |||
:: that drive it, which can only be known by observing the<br> | |||
:: world. How do we escape this cycle?<br><br> | |||
:: This conundrum offers an escape from the Boltzmann-<br> | |||
:: brain solipsistic trap. The trap asks us, "How do you know<br> | |||
:: that you are not the only thing in existence, and that the<br> | |||
:: universe you perceive is not a random moment emerged<br> | |||
:: from chaos?" The answer is that a randomly emerged<br> | |||
:: illusionary brain, the product of a probabilistic demiurge,<br> | |||
:: is cosmically unlikely to contain ''both'' the memory of<br> | |||
:: and imaginary universe ''and'' knowledge of consistent<br> | |||
:: mathematical and physical laws of which describe that<br> | |||
:: whole. If the world is an illusion, then why would it<br> | |||
:: produce the illusion of a physics that can be consistently<br> | |||
:: explain its existence? Which is more probable: that we and<br> | |||
:: all we see are an enormous coincidence, or that reality is<br> | |||
:: in fact determined and evolved by a consistent set of laws?<br> | |||
:: The existence of an objective reality is more probable. If<br> | |||
:: objective reality really exists, we exist in it. The truth that we see<br> | |||
:: in the world around us allow us to induce the truth of our<br> | |||
:: own persistent existence.<br><br> | |||
:: To know thy self is not to only look within but also<br> | |||
:: without. It is impossible to know thy self without<br> | |||

When I battled Azirim, he defeated me. He showed me that he could make all my desires real,<br> | |||
and I succumbed. It was Wei Ning who broke me out of the trance-of-creation I had fallen into,<br> | |||
moments before I manifested a wish from the quantum vacuum: four dead strangers returned to life,<br> | |||
forgiven their desperate grab for my Ghost, so that I could forgive myself for how quickly and lethally<br> | |||
I had responded. If I had finished the wish and fashioned them, I would have annihilated myself,<br> | |||
Ophiuchus, and everything around us in a particle-antiparticle catastrophe.</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
What Wei Ning did was punch me in the head so gently that I only got a concussion. I do not advise<br> | |||
this as a way to destroy the self. But as an analogy, it is useful.</span></small><br> | |||
