Meaning and the Mind

-

  



   Meaning is the spirit, or "substance" for lack of a better word, of a language or code. It is what allows a mind to comprehend the words and form thoughts, opinions, and ideas with that meaning. Meaning, from my perspective, is universal. Even if the words that convey meaning change, meaning itself remains unchanged. For example, there can be a thousand different words that share the same meaning as strength, but even with different words for the concept, the meaning that provides the weight and spirit of the concept remains the same regardless of what word from whatever language is used to convey it.


       It short, words can change, but meaning never changes. Meaning, once comprehended and  understood, has a massive affect on the minds of human beings. Meaning is what gives words power. True power that is often greatly undervalued and even greatly misunderstood. Understanding meaning is what enables language to shape our thoughts, our relationships, and our imaginations. It is meaning and the understanding of the meaning of words that shape our internal world and can cut into our minds and our understanding.


      It is the meaning of a set of words that shape our faith and our religions. It is the meaning of words that shape our understanding of politics and war. In fact, it is meaning and the power meaning has over our minds that shapes our comprehension of our entire reality.


   Never underestimate the power of meaning, and never underestimate someone who can comprehend the meaning of language or code. With that understanding, you have power over the topic and you have power over the minds of any audience you may have.


   If something has meaning, it has power. Symbols and symbolic acts prove this. Words with potent meaning, if applied effectively, can cut into the thoughts and feelings of another person and change their inner mind. That is power, not just an illusion of it. You can reshape, renew, or even destroy a mind with meaning and the words or symbols that convey it. Its a matter of time, potency, and applicability.


    Meaning is just the fundamental essence of information. It is the foundation of abstract thought and abstract ideas. Words, symbols, and other languages are the carriers that convey and transmit meaning into our minds.


         Meaning is like an invisible language in its own right. We only have access to it through the vectors that transmit it to our minds (words, language, and symbols). We never directly observe meaning outright. Meaning can be conveyed by a thousand different words or symbols, but the raw, uncoded meaning of anything is never directly encountered.


       Meaning itself is like an absolute code. The pure, perfect language of all things. Like a "language of God" sort of thing, and from my infinitist perspective, meaning is what encodes both the abstract and the physical into existence. It is the language through which all things were created, and since I believe the system is infinite, I believe there is an unlimited quantity, degree of quality, and diversity of meaning and purpose within all of existence. Life not only has meaning, but meaning is absolute and in infinite abundance. 😁

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.
