Catching Rain: Alex Sapenuk

A point (as defined by math) is the first dimension, a single piece of existence, our hopeful wanderer. Just floating there by himself minding his own business without a care in the world. Mainly because the world has yet to take shape, but it soon will. Within the realm of nothingness a single point, not in any way dissimilar from other single points, exists.

The interaction of two points, as they find each other within the overwhelming nothingness, creates the second dimension. Elements of the first dimension are used as building blocks for the second dimension. The reason the first dimension is needed is to create the second dimension. In a way, the first dimension exists only because the second dimension needs it. The second dimension could not exist within nothingness if it weren’t for its first dimension building blocks. Mathematically speaking, the first dimension really has no purpose other than to construct the second dimension. A fundamental relationship of mutual needs is at work here.

Almost as though they had no other choice, the two-dimensional building blocks react with each other as well; giving rise to the third dimension. Second dimension elements are used to build the third dimension, while the third dimension gives purpose and function to the second dimension. The entire physical world is experienced within the third dimension. The laws of physics, spoken via math, govern the universe. A kitchen table is a three dimensional object made up of two-dimensional components, which in turn is an assemblage of first dimensional ingredients floating within nothingness. The same relationship that 1D has with 2D, governs the interaction of 2D with 3D.

However, the intersection of multiple 2D elements occurring within the space of the second dimension will only produce more complicated 2D elements. Two drawings on a piece of paper are each 2D. Combining the two pictures only creates a larger picture, a more complex 2D entity. However, if the intersection of these very same 2D elements were to occur within the space of the third dimension, only the ...

Singing my song, of tears masking delight.
Stewing in madness, preparing for the fight.
The road to the park, paved wicked and bright.
Marching along, headstrong because I’m right.

Approaching the battle, mindful of the upcoming scene.
The park full of grass, trees covering, and green.
People crowding and looking, betting on whose most mean.
The covers ripped off, two warriors, machines.

They stand, they stare, they hesitate then delight.
Onlookers rowdy, enjoying a good fight.
The sun shines down, reflecting off the armor bright.
A kick, a punch, a hook, then a left, then a right.

One falls down, the crowd finds pleasure in this scene.
The park a mess, ripped apart, where’s the green?
Trampled all over, destroyed by force; this is what I mean.
The people have gone, the park in peace, those wretched machines.

The entire purpose of life is to figure out why we live. So then if figuring out why we live is the meaning of life, then why figure out why we live? Why do we need an answer? The answer is the reason for living. If we knew the answer at birth, then why live at all? We live to figure out the answer. The struggle to find an answer to the question is what makes life meaningful.

We need the experience in order to achieve things in the physical world. In the spiritual world, we can figure something out by thinking about it. But in the physical world, we need to actually do it. Hence, by the physical world being the building blocks of the spiritual world, going through the motions is the reason why we should go through the motions. We are a part of both worlds, spiritual and physical. If we are all mind, then why live physically? If we are all body, then why live mentally? But if we are both body and mind, then living has meaning. To live in the physical world, we need to go through the motions. To live in the spiritual world, we need to think.

Why can’t god just snap his fingers and have us know something? Well going through the motions of physical life is the process of him snapping his fingers.

Many people go through life thinking of many great ideas, having many worthwhile thoughts, life altering revelations, yet they don’t actually implement any of their ideas in the physical world. So how are others to know of their accomplishments, and more importantly, how is the thinker to actually change his life if he doesn’t act the way he now thinks? Even though all that is true is the mind, and the bodies don’t matter, still the bodies are our representatives which travel around the world. The bodies are the things which the mind uses to make contact with others, to form bonds, connections, inter-connections with other bodies, and hence then, with other minds.

It all comes back to 2 people communicating, person A has a thought in 4D, which he then translates down into 3D to send to person B, who then takes the 3D thought and translates it back into 4D for his ...

It is only when the mind is clear of thought, that any true discovery is possible. Knowledge is abounding in all directions asking to be taken in, but only the motionless mind has an open door. When knowledge is not sought, only then can it be gained. The conscious mind reacts, while the unconscious learns. Once the activity of reactions is at rest, knowledge has a path straight to the unconscious. New discoveries are now not rejected on the premise of old reactionary ideas.

We see the world through the polarized vision of the battle between love and fear. If fear dominates, then we see the world one way. If love dominates, then we see the world a completely different way. Vision is simply hence an illusion, so why not see a good world?

3D intersects itself so many times in 4D in order to be complete, that the concept of infinity arises. Similarly, infinite 2D objects intersect each other infinite number of times to create 3D. So by focusing on infinity in one dimension, one is actually talking about the next higher up dimension. The higher dimension is incommensurable with the lower dimension and forms infinity for it.

Life is "how" thought exists. Thought is "why" life exists.

The illusion is what we see. When focusing on something, like a desk or the corner between a wall and a ceiling, the object tends to blend and distort. Since planet earth is rotating so fast on its axis and revolving around the sun. Since our solar system is rotating about itself and revolving around the black hole in our galaxy at an incredible speed. Since our galaxy is rotating about itself and spinning around in the universe at an intense speed. We, humans on earth, are moving at incredible speeds all the time. But since everything is moving right along with us, our perception is stationary. Our eyes focus ourselves into the world, but when we really focus in on something, our perception becomes tied to it, rather than to ourselves and blending occurs. The corner of the wall and ceiling blend together into a smooth arch, the desk performs a smooth pulse. Our eyes are engrossed in the constant illusion that is the world we live in. So seeing these new illusions is nothing out of the ordinary.

You push, I push; you pull, I pull. You take, I take; you give, I give. In hurting me, I hurt you; in helping me, I help you. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Growing up in a society of hierarchy and greed, forced respect and servitude. Then my kids must respect and serve my wishes. I was raised intolerant, I will raise intolerant. I was forced to only think of their issues, with no regard towards mine, I choose to only think of myself with no regard towards theirs. I grew up in an environment where the parents only helped and sacrificed towards me, and in my older years I only help and sacrifice for them. By parents focusing on helping kids, the kids will focus on helping parents. By parents focusing on teaching respect and servitude, the kids will seek respect for themselves and servitude from others.

The loop of skewed reactions, of no thoughts, just automated responses. But wait, let’s think, let’s see the loop in action rearing it’s ugly head, spewing fire shrouded in steam. Wiping the goggles clean, focusing straight ahead, through the steam, at the fire burning on a stick, a match easily erupted, held by a man, by the name of ego. The man in the machine, controlling reactions, preferring himself, his needs, no, his wants, his desires, his doom upon exposure. The goggles are clean, the clouds lifted, and the naked ego exposed. Then tossed aside into his own fire.
