What is sin in the NLT/EHT universe? EHT dares define a type of god every bit as powerful as that accepted by religious doctrine, it is even consistent with the creation myth in EH-theory to say that if everything happens at once, than the concentration of thought without dimension or time to separate it could have the powers given to those non-mathematical gods of the old testament, the books of Christ and Mohammad including the power to make time linear and therefore create a universe of the type we live in (or at least experience).
And, of course, the god particle in NLT is so much more than a gravity carrier (Gravity carriers are eliminated in NLT since you don't need a carrier if gravity is only the tendency of time to go non linear which is empirically proven in NLT) since a single particle of non-linear time can give rise to an entire universe and keep it going indefinitely and in an apparently infinite size, at least in theory.
How do we define anything in this type of environment. How do we define love, hate, religion or sin.
We don't have to eliminate a god over all thought. In fact, under NLT we can have an environment that defies anything other than the home of gods, an environment that is nothing like what we experience here since there is at least one, but perhaps an infinity of universes existing without time or space meaning that they cannot be separated from one another, at least not in the way that we understand time and space. What would it be like to exist in such a space? The answer may be that we exist in such as space, but only perceive the changing world about us due to some manifestation of linearity in that environment, but that is a physics post and this is not.
Imagine, instead, the study of religion, the study of morality and the study of man in such an environment, instead the study of the universe in such an environment.
There is room here for a god of love of the new testament, a vengeful god of the old and extreme testaments and an uncaring god that predates them all.
How, for example, do you pray to a god where your intelligence is a part of the overall intelligence? How do you follow moral teachings if your heart and your desires are part of the desires that make up this god like thing which is the sum of all thought over all time and all space?
In one sense, there is no difference. The idea of merging with god when you die is entirely consistent, only ignoring that you are already merged with him. The idea of the soul being implanted in the body (at conception or otherwise) is also entirely consistent since your intelligence is part of all intelligence in EHT and therefore its "appearance" in this human shell is all a part of its linearity being expressed.
But in another sense it is so different. For what is intelligence if everything happens at once in non-linear time and only linearity gives rise to the experience of time, dimension, love, hate, angels and demons that we experience? If there is apparent, but no real self determination, you can be as religious as you feel necessary, but you already have been such and you always will be.
And what is the sacred intelligence? For those that want to hold every life sacred, what makes human intelligence more important than the chemically driven actions of a single cell organism? How about the higher orders, such as whales, dolphins and apes when compared to other life?
If all intelligence concentrated without time or space is truly all intelligence, it is no wonder that a universe driven by that is so chaotic and so violent and so unforgiving and so cannibalistic. What type of universe is created by the intelligence of the survival of the fittest mentalities that have existed since the beginning of time, to say nothing of the monsters that the human race has given rise to?
Of course, you can ignore all of this just by denying physics, or at least the physics of NLT and EHT and perhaps to a lesser extent String hologram theory which is a very primitive application of similar concepts.
Einstein and Zeno are responsible in the final analysis for this conceptual framework, not me. Einstein was a Jew but Zeno was likely a Pantheist (if he was anything), a religious designation we don't get to use much from our "enlightened" perspective. If all thought is concentrated without time or space (dimension) then one god would be the god of choice for physics, albeit one god made of an enormous number of individual pieces.
Perhaps these types of moral complexities are better left with the organized religions than the physicists. However, now whenever I am in a religious service, these things haunt my acceptance, interfere with my attention and color my interpretation of what is being said. I can no longer just listen, instead I have to ask, how does this fit within or dispel the concepts that physics seem to suggest, can any of this take away another layer of the onion, if I am to accept this god, this teaching, this version of things; does it require I reject NLT or does it require I go beyond NLT or is it just a part of NLT?
If it is only a play and we are only actors, to what meaning and purpose is it?
If you accept EHT's potential corollary that intelligence drives linearity, then how do you drive something to be linear from the linear expression of the thing that only comes after linearity is achieved without some higher force putting this incredibly complex model in "motion"?
The answer may or may not come, but I can no longer sit quietly despite a desire to do so. I am forced to examine this question if I try to experience or study religion, and the same makes prayer study or bible school or whatever I would look at only a part of a puzzle that seems to require more than delving what is in the words and defies the Muslim concept that everything can be in one book, although everything is in one place and perhaps that is the same thing.
As I consider the words of the various and inconsistent prophets, which ones are right if these theories have any merit. If there is truth in the words of prophets and if there is truth in physics, or if there is no truth in any of it, whatever truths must go to the same place.
And if I was with you this morning we could sit down together and forget these words and share a cup of coffee and talk of mundane things, the weather, the leaves that need to be raked, the importance of suffering in the poetry we write and the importance of joy in the comedies.
