re: My perspective on our existence

We are limited by our brains. We are limited by our senses. We inherently sense our innate primitive nature and we despair that we are not Gods . I have essentially seen it the way you present it since I was 13. Not only do I not have a need to know the answers I believe that any explanation is futile because it exceeds my understanding by a factor of infinity. Enjoy the moment and practice compassion. That's about the best you can hope for.

What do you think hurricanes and tornados are?
Just like humans disturbing an ant pile.

No. I'm the same way that a shark circling under a boat will never be able to draw(hypothetically) an accurate version of the boat he is circling. He (the shark) can't independently break that threshold.

No I don't believe our weather is controlled by any outside force. I also don't think it's controlled by humans.

Read Plato's allegory of the cave.

It may be an outside force. Not controlled by.

yes, i understand what you're saying. but let's say you went outside and saw a UFO hovering off in the distance. You could hypothetically steal a plane, and go fly yourself to the point in the sky where the ufo was.
if you mean independently, as in without assistance from an aircraft, then one could say the same for the people flying the UFO, in which case i would still have to reject your perspective and tell you to try again.
But, I would do so with kind acknowledgement.

What does flying to the point in the sky where the UFO was seen have to do with anything. I'm not following what you are getting at?

for real, baw?
your analogy hinges on the fact that fish can see a boat, but only one part of that boat because they can't independently access anything higher than the level of their body of water.
if a UFO is close enough that you are able to see it, that means it is at a level in space that is accessible to man. Thus, negating your analogy.

You can visually see something with out being able to access it.

if i'm missing the concept its because your analogy sucks arse.

I just watched something on Amazon Prime about multiple dimensions and they used basically the same analogy. It's all just too theoretical for me right now.

I think his point is the fish can "see" the boat, but have no concept of what it is. What it does. They just see a weird shape "up there"
Say you have 10 fish in a tank and you catch one then release it. The fish goes back to his fish bros and tries to bubble it out to his boys what he just experienced. The other 9 have zero concept of what the frick the other fish man is trying to tell them because to them, it's just a weird shape "up there". They don't understand that it's a whole new world above the surface.
I swear I'm not high
