Words, Images, and Abstract Information

-


We ingest abstract information all the time. When we read a book, look at a painting, watch a fantasy/science fiction movie. Abstract information is everywhere. Without abstract information, life would lose any semblance of meaning, wonder and mystery.


      Basing my thought's off of Plato's philosophy of Forms and Ideas, I'd like to view abstract information as coming from two primary sources: imagery and words.


  Imagery usually deals with physical forms. Structures and shapes that may be impractical in real life or images of technology not yet made real in a truly physical sense yet. Shapes and structures are usually dealt with in abstract imagery like art or pictures.


     Words, on the other hand, deal with abstract ideas, although they also label forms. Ideas are generally not very physical, and as a result can only be conveyed to the human mind through words and language. Things like love, liberty, infinity, God, democracy. These things can only be comprehended through a language that can be applied to them, verbal or otherwise.


       Both abstract forms and abstract ideas are truly eternal. The concepts and structural forms exist, in my belief anyway, whether or not there is a physical mold to take on forms or a conscious organism to bear host to and contemplate abstract ideas.


The abstract realm is not bound by entropy. As a result, it never dies. Since the concept of infinity is an abstract idea, i believe the abstract realm is truly infinite. Since eternity is an abstract idea, I believe the abstract realm is truly eternal.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
