Thought experiments

Are you living on the premise that your life will become a complete thing only at the moment of your death?

What if, as the fragments of a hologram contain the whole image, all of your life is contained within each of its moments?

I don’t mean this as a sort of Kantian ethical mind experiment. Or a Matrix like silliness

More as a question of time.

Signs point the way and symbols represent something. Both are lent toward non-linguistic forms.

Both are also prey to magical thinking – signs and portents. We confuse them because we think they come from outside. Something outside of us is trying to tell us something. Like God, magpies, religion, myth, dropped toast etc. all these of course are side-effects of what occurs within us…

But what if symbols are not of human psychic origin at all? What if they are non-intelligent non-material extra-conscious pervasions? What if we are the symptoms?
