| Is anything really ever NEW in reality. Think about it, everything just changes form doesnt it? If I ask you where your body comes from you'll say something like "semen and eggs" but what was the semen and eggs before it became semen and eggs? Even every word that comes out of your mouth is really just air, its not new at all. So I wonder does really ANYTHING appear out of nothing? Ofcourse new transformations of form happens all the time, as the creative mind is infinite. but is there ever NEW form/substance? Last edited by DaveTyler : 05-15-2007 at 02:37 AM. |

| Way to go on reducing abundance and diversity of all creation down to "nothing new"...! On the other hand, I can't blame you. I am not sure where you live and what you do, but that's what "life in the civilized world" tends to do to people. The material content (whatever that is) may be the same, but nothing you experience is ever the same and that's all that matters! Even if every single day you experience might appear to be identical as does your body over all, nothing is ever the same! You may just happen to be trapped in a reality where things are in loopback mode. However, just because you (and possibly many others) are in loopback mode, that does not mean the universe is creating the same thing over and over.. It means it is doing that for you specifically. Break the loop.. Focus your attention on diversity, richness of experience and abundance of creativity in nature and everywhere else in the universe if you want to see what that is like. If you dwell on and accept "there is nothing new", I shudder to imagine what your reality will be like. Last edited by eternomi : 05-20-2007 at 09:26 PM. |

| It's a pretty boring philisophical question. Matter is conserved, yes. But depending on how you define "new", there can be new forms, new abstract ideas or entities, etc. Like most other boring pseudo-philisophical questions, this one boils down to semantics.
