    Everything is rooted in experience. Experience is rooted in this moment. What is this moment rooted in?
    Edit: Also, what keeps everything rooted in experience? What keeps experience rooted in this moment?

    Everything
    is rooted in experience.
    Experience
    is rooted in this moment.
    This moment is rooted in ...
    Everything

    this is what my intuition came up with... full circle. makes sense to me. what is NOT in this moment? seems like the completion of the cycle to me.

    This moment is rooted in existence itself, for existence exists. Being.
     
  3. The way we perceive the world is based on our experience, therefore everything (the world around us) is indeed rooted in experience. Experience however cannot happen without something to experience. The things we experience are experienced in fragments of time (moments), therefore our experience is rooted in the given moment of time. A moment of time does contain everything, however in not exactly literal meaning. A moment contains the building blocks of things - atoms, molecules etc. Given the fact that everything is made out of those building blocks in a given moment of time you can have everything it's just a matter of arranging those blocks in the right way to create what you wish. Of course rearranging atoms, molecules etc. is no easy job, however given the necessary technology you can create anything you want from the building blocks around you. Example: if mankind had the technology to rearrange atoms it can turn any living being into carbon and water and vice versa. What is keeping Experience, Moment and Everything together is that without everything nothing can be experienced if all around us was just empty void and removing the moment of time we would not experience anything because there's nothing to be experienced. In other words you can't say that you experienced something if there's no given time range and nothing to experience simply because there is nothing.
     
  4. a great and difficult thread

    assuming things are rooted in others i would guess moments are rooted in individual perspective

    not very intellectual it is what i intuitively gravitated towards... completing the full circle. Makes sense to me. what is NOT in this moment? seems like the completion of the cycle

    This moment is rooted in existence itself, for existence exists. Being.

    What keeps everything in experience? Being. What keeps experience in this moment? Being.

    Being, for being is infinite. Being always was and always will be, Being. Even if everything (read every-thing: all cosmic objects, densities, and matter) was gone, there would still Be.

    So, essentially, what this suggests is, Be. all is one, in constant flux. flux flux flux. all is vibration. vibe vibe vibe. it really sounds ridiculous when stated as such, but truly that simply. Being. The divine Being.

    the practicality of this deduction? (not right word but its not coming, too tired). that striving for this higher mind, this metaphorically higher state of perception, this abidance, will naturally make it all make sense. for instance - once you have identified with being, or in your model, everything [that is] (everything), then everything is EXPERIENCE, and experience can only, and always and eternally does, happen in THIS MOMENT. This moment of experience, this moment of everything - being.

    --- that is what I came up with. (I, as in Being. Me could have never logically deduced that. :))
