Reply With Quote'Here' is relative like most things in life. I often wonder if my life is just some massive experiment or some sick kid playing a game of The Sims in the future. To me its more of a question of where we came from. Did God put us here for some reason? Who/what is God? Can you feel the earth spinning under your feet?

Where is here in the subliminal depths of perception?
Hello all-
I've had this question as part of my signature ever since I've been here, and I've never had a comment, question, or just someone giving me their 2 cents about it. This is a question that I made up, and I want to hear peoples' responses and thoughts about it.
Looking forward to all responses.• 2.66GHz Mac Pro Quad Xeon
• 2.0GHz Dual PowerMac G5
• 2.0GHz 20" iMac G5
• 466MHz Powerbook G4
• Mac Classic
• Apple //c

"Here" has only become a relative concept since the advent of the internet. "Here" in the personal sense is, surely, absolute.

One can not question... or more precisely, have answered... where 'here' is until one understands the many dimensions in which 'here' is representative. My 'here' is not your 'here'. Your 'here' in the now is not the same 'here' which you were pondering a moment ago or a mile away or in a mood that has passed. 'Here' is quite likely the only transient absolute in all of existence.
For now.----------------------------

But for every person, "here" is absolute in all 4 dimensions: 3 dimensions of location – X, Y & Z – and the 4th dimension – time.

yes but in mathematics it's normal to think about not only 4 dimensions, but to consider many other dimensions... if you admit that they exist, you also have to admit that a simple concept like 'here' becomes impossible to be defined absolutely, or as for 'every person'...

Who said 'here' had to be defined for everyone? It's a personal "feeling" (I'm tired and that's the best I could think to describe it.
).
It's like saying everyone has to 'see' the same - not going to happen.I am but a lonely shadow,
Doomed forever to roam and wander.
But if you allow me to pause before I must go,
I'll spin you tales of mystery and wonder.
