Blue Lion's Lair

Yesterday I wrote about how time is necessary to spread out all the possible things that can exist and make them “experience-able”.  Today we take that one step further.  While time separates one moment from another, space is the thing that separates one object from another.   In this, space performs a similar role as does time.  That of spreading the “everything” out so that it can be experienced.  Therefore, it can be said the the result of the existence of the space-time continuum, is that all the things that can possibly exist, in all the ways they can exist, are spread out so that each is discrete and distinct from all others.  If this weren’t true, then there would be no ability to experience anything.  Lucky for us that we happen to be properly designed/evolved to be able to experience the dimensions of time and space.  OK…..maybe luck doesn’t have a whole lot to do with it and that’s a subject I’ll get to.

For now, lets consider all the things that exist in our universe.  Not just the physical things, but the other aspects of reality as well.  I’m talking about things like temperature, lighting, color (related to lighting), abundance or lack thereof, and even emotions and our judgments of good and evil.  If you look at each one of these aspects, it turns out that they are all defined relatively.  In other words, in order for the definition or measurement of one of these aspects to have meaning, they must be compared or related to other values of that aspect.  Not only that, but each definition of measurement is on a continuum of some sort.  For instance.

• Hot is relative to cold.  Yes, there is absolute zero, but all other temperatures are relative to it.
• Light is relative to dark.  Again, very similar to the temperature relationship.
• Up is relative to down, right is relative to left, forward is relative to backward
• Speed is relative, at least up to the speed of light.
• The future is relative to the past.
• Blue is relative to Green, microwave is relative to infra-red
• Even good is relative to evil.

In many of the above cases, one side of the aspect defines the other.  The best example of this is good and evil.  If evil didn’t exist, no one would know what good is.  Everything would just be.  Unfortunately, evil is necessary.  That doesn’t mean that there have to be evil people.  However, the experience or history of evil must remain in order for people to appreciate and fully experience what good is.

What does all this mean?  Well…this is truly the universe of the relative.  Everything is relative.  This relativity is what makes experience of more than time possible.  In fact, without the other relative aspects of the universe, time while it would exist, would be pretty meaningless.  I can’t think of a worse hell than having to exist through time with absolutely nothing else to experience.

I know that many people use the “Everything is relative” line to justify not believing that absolute good and evil exist and that the definitions are in the “eye of the beholder” so to speak.  This is just plain wrong.  There are rational definitions of good and evil.  I plan to lay them out in this forum.  But first we need to address a few more concepts before I can do that.

In any case, the definition of Blue Lion’s Theory of Relativity is this.  Everything is relative to something else.  Without this relativity, there would be nothing to experience and therefore no reason for life, or even the universe to exist.
