Quote by Dejan Stojanovic

“Regarding the old question of the mind-body relationship, the concepts related to this topic have changed from ancient times, and the difference between body and mind is more evident to us today than it was to ancient man. What changed? Was this development a result of growth in understanding or a simple paradigm shift? Is a paradigm shift always connected to growth and better understanding or not? All paradigm shifts must rely on concepts. These concepts are established based on ideas. All ideas could be better. There is a perennial fight among people about ideas, among other things. Since ideas are not easily measurable, they can be established and, based on them, the rule, regardless of their true merit. Ideas, irrespective of their intrinsic value and truth, can become the inherent values of society and may even become the “truth” itself.”

“To reach the truth, it must be at the absolute level. But does the absolute truth exist, and what does it mean? Do ideas represent truths? To what extent do ideas represent truths? These questions mostly relate to society and abstract or concrete questions concerning ethics, aesthetics, psychology, philosophy, and religion. Exact sciences are based on and governed by different standards and concepts of truth or ideas about the truth. Regardless of this dichotomy, it is only a dichotomy on the surface. Deep down, the absolute truth is at the equidistance from all these essential points, or all approaches, regardless of their origin (based on purely theoretical thought or conclusion resulting from an experiment), provided that all these approaches have equal merit based on the intrinsic value of any particular endeavor or approach.”

“With all the suffering that’s already around you, it’s not easy to distinguish the suffering from the addiction from the other kinds of suffering. And so you tolerate it. You confuse the suffering that comes from addiction with the suffering that comes from life. But you never get used to it. Instead you convince yourself that life is a process of progressive pain and you grin and bear it.”

“Dimension gains its value only when something is already measured. Before we measured it, we did not know its dimensions. In this sense, we cannot say that space has dimensions but that specific quantitative values can be measured. Here, too, we come in contact with the idea of the concept, where the concept goes astray from an idea or truth in proportion to its linguistic separation from the rule or its original idea of the very words and their meanings. The linguistic purpose of the word dimension, originally, was to represent the measure of some of the features, or all, of space and not to be the very feature or property of space or of that to which the measure, dimension, is applied, or of that which it sustains.”

“The question is, the measure of what do dimensions represent? What is space? If we measure the length, width, or height of anything, we measure what is presented to us, through senses, as shape. Every visible shape in nature and, most likely, invisible too, is, for the most part, emptiness or nothing. That which we measure does not exist in a higher reality but is emptiness. That which gives a quantitative value to space is emptiness, not matter. If we could expel emptiness from space, it would lose length, width, and height. We measure emptiness, not matter, and emptiness is not dimensional; there is nothing to measure; it is the same everywhere. Something must exist to be measured.”

“The Reality (Universe, objects, matter, space) we measure is the Reality created by the Primary Quality of the Ultimate Source. When we measure the secondary quality (formerly primary), we are convinced it is as material as it appears. Yet, it is the reality programmed to be perceived as such by tertiary qualities (formerly secondary). Regardless of this “wrong” opinion or “perception,” Reality is not less real than we thought it was. It appears to be as it is, regardless of our views and acquired knowledge about it. We can and should adjust our worldview accordingly, but that does not affect us adversely. The change of perception should not necessarily be a drastic or detrimental worldview change. Quite to the contrary, this change shall boost progress and better align us with the cosmic organism we are part of. There is no reason to doubt or question reality, but we have to get used to a new, changed idea or understanding of reality since reality is not what we thought it was. Matter is not what we thought it was. Space is not what we thought it was. Our Reality is the Ultimate Web of Information. Whenever we measure something, we measure the information, the program, not space or matter per se. The only volume of Reality comes from Void.”

“Energy is the world-born phenomenon, the world that puts itself in motion and flies into space by receiving space into itself. From this point of view or the point of view of the Theory of Relativity, matter is indeed condensed energy. But, from the Absolute, or the Theory of the Absolute, both energy and matter are the dissolved forms of the primordial world of the Absolute. Therefore, energy is the “dissolved” Absolute, and matter is the formation of “energy” into objects of the multitude of the Absolute, which transforms from oneness and singularity into plurality (although oneness is never lost).”

“What is the Absolute? Absolute can only be the absolute knowledge, thought, mind, immaterial “substance,” the absolute “brain” (spirit) that contains an infinite programming ability and potential for absolute plurality through chance. Since human beings are limited, although much more advanced than other animals, they cannot understand inconceivable and invisible spaces by experience, experiment, or evidence, far exceeding their perceptive and sensory abilities. Even if they were at a higher level of evolution, humans would be unsure if they found the final truths and complete knowledge. However, if they free themselves from dogmas—religious, political, and others—human beings can count on a higher degree of understanding and closer touch with the world.”

“If there is only one primordial Being “in” the Nothing, there is no relationship between this Being and anything else, and all this void is equal to zero or infinity. But, if there is an appearance of a “different” something, the Universe, the “material” Being “in” the Nothing, there is a relationship between the two entities, and anything in and between them is space. On the other hand, since these universes are pluralities, there is already established space inside them due to the plurality and distances they cause.”

“Although the Nothing is nothing, of and for itself, it is not nothing when interacting with the Being. This interaction activates the passive feature, void as a potential for space, of the Nothing through relationships, and it provides the medium, space, for its division and expansion into existence. In this way, the Nonbeing creates the Being partially but equally important. On the other hand, the Being transforms nothingness from nothing into real space.”
