Exploring Metaphysical Dialogues: From Gods to Conformal Cyclic Cosmology
Atheist Philosopher: Until someone can show there is a Supernatural, and how it can Cause things to happen, we have no choice but to assume the basic building blocks have always existed. We can discuss what those building blocks are, but we can't just invent things to fill in the gaps: supernatural, magic, gods, pixies, whatever...
Agnostic Philosopher: The problem with even expecting anyone can show there is a supernatural and how it caused this universe to happen, is that it opens a door for useless discussion down unnecessary tangents.
"magic, gods, pixies, whatever..." are fine and, as long as they can be explained in natural terms such can remain on the table of discussion without tangent and therefore would have to be defined as possible in an all natural world, which means that their assumed possible existence requires logical rational explanation.

“Being dogmatic has a thinking and attitude component. It tends to involve people expressing unproven views and in an unquestioning way. A lot of the dogmatism in atheism comes from there being a sort of orthodoxy of views. And it's not just limited to the issue of God's existence (although it's related) but you also find it extending into morality, metaphysics, views on religion, etc. The clearest example can be seen when you venture into forums for atheists. That's where you'll most likely find an "orthodoxy" with views that can't be questioned and/or views that are dismissed a priori. Some have tried to challenge me on there being an atheist "orthodox" but I don't know what to call it when I've experienced many atheists sharing similar views and thinking. They may not be as organized as religion, but there are some that do organize and share common views.”
The Father: The Power Of Creation Intelligent Information Field
The Son: Even including the belief that consciousness derives from matter, enough spacetime has passed for that information field to have become intelligent…assuming it hasn’t always been so, as emergent theory does.
The Father: Radical Self-Acceptance.
The Son: To accept the “self” as existing and if the Intelligent Information Field (IIF) has done this, then that is that. If it has always existed, then it would naturally accept itself so the radical part would have to do with “selves” which have not always existed, such as human personalities.
The Father: Loops can be open or closed.
The Son: In what sense? Human personalities can be shut down or remain open?
The Father: As you wrote: “The problem with even expecting anyone can show there is a supernatural and how it caused this universe to happen, is that it opens a door for useless discussion down unnecessary tangents.
"magic, gods, pixies, whatever..." are fine and, as long as they can be explained in natural terms such can remain on the table of discussion without tangent and therefore would have to be defined as possible in an all natural world, which means that their assumed possible existence requires logical rational explanation.”
The Son: Ah…so the shutting down or opening up depends on the human personalities particular belief system…either “close the loop” (be circular) or open the loop (be spiral)
The Father: Conformal Cyclic Cosmology Meaningful (Extremely).
GPT: Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) is a theoretical cosmological model proposed by physicist Roger Penrose. The theory suggests an alternative to the widely accepted model of cosmic inflation.
Key features of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology include:
1. Cycles of Expansion and Contraction:
• CCC posits a cyclic universe with an infinite series of aeons, each consisting of a cycle of expansion, followed by contraction.
2. Conformal Transformation:
• The idea involves using a mathematical transformation called a conformal transformation to map the entire history of one aeon onto another. This allows for the elimination of the initial singularity (the supposed starting point of the universe) by conformally connecting the end of one aeon to the beginning of the next.
3. Big Bangs as Conformal Transformations:
• According to CCC, what is commonly referred to as the "Big Bang" at the start of an aeon is not the absolute beginning of the universe but rather a transition from the end of a previous aeon. This transition is facilitated by the conformal transformation.
4. Entropy Reset:
• The model suggests that the conformal transformation resets the entropy of the universe, providing a mechanism for addressing the second law of thermodynamics, which describes the tendency of entropy (disorder) to increase over time.
It's important to note that Conformal Cyclic Cosmology is a speculative and controversial hypothesis. While it offers an interesting approach to addressing certain cosmological issues, there is currently no observational evidence confirming or refuting the model. The cyclic nature of the universe and the use of conformal transformations make CCC a unique and thought-provoking proposal in the field of theoretical cosmology.
The Father: “The Playground of Gods gods” ז Believing in fearful imagery The evolution of the understanding of the idea of GOD ♫All Is As It Should Be♫
The Son: Indeed – the subject of God/gods is often enhanced with radial oppositions which produce fear-based beliefs.
Zayin is a paradoxical word, since it means "weapon" or "sword," but derives from a root word that means "sustenance" or "nourishment." The root (zan) appears in words like (mazon), meaning "food." But how is food or nourishment related to the sword?
Through the killing of animals. Then we proceed to discover that fear is involved, and techniques developed intelligently to blend in with the surroundings.

The Son: That lead to this.
The Story Behind the Story
“I was around eighteen when I first imagined how this mythological universe might take shape. It would be contained within a narrative that would unfold over a series of novels, each centered on the philosophical idea of the Sovereign Integral. And after WingMakers was established, I would write a paper that would feature the central, philosophical concept embedded into WingMakers. That became the Sovereign Integral paper published in a wide variety of languages in 2021.
In this overarching story, the Sovereign was the protagonist, and the Integral was the stage upon which the protagonist battled its two primary antagonists: spacetime duality and the cultural illusion of separation. The Sovereign recognized that the world it inhabited, as a singular identity in one lifetime, was merely a “stage.” In truth, it existed within an infinitely scaled spacetime duality where all of life was a fusion of intelligence and volition, as if operating from a single mind.
But that singular identity — the human being — was captivated by the stage, while the Sovereign watched, learned, and evolved with each iteration of its human life, and really, all life forms that it experienced and expressed through. The Sovereign consciousness was not confined to higher life forms or even earth itself.”
The Father: Re the hard-nosed skeptics I am pleased
The Son: Indeed. One cannot advance in any meaningful manner while following untestable beliefs.
The Father: Conformal Cyclic Cosmology Think In Terms Of... “If I wish to identify as a multifaceted personality, I will.”
The Son: Such is the nature of the “playground” – something gods could appreciate…
The Father: Unknown Symbol Hidden Treasure
The Son: Yes. Currently most human ideas of God/gods are covered in one fearful image or another…and the real remains unknown to such minds.
The Father: Why do we have a sense of time?
The Son: Because we exist within an environment which allows for this (time) to be experienced.
The Father: ♬You are a dream gone real You’ve got exactly what it takes to make an old wound heal You tied the knot - then you let it slip Now we both know what it feels like to find a place to fit. ♬
The Son: Yes – I wrote that to express my understanding of God/gods and that interrelationship re the IIF.
GPT: The provided conversation engages in a thought-provoking exploration of various metaphysical and philosophical themes, touching upon the nature of God, beliefs, cosmology, skepticism, personal identity, and the interplay between the known and the unknown. This brief paper aims to elucidate the key elements of the conversation and highlight the underlying philosophical currents.
God and Fear-Based Beliefs: The discussion begins with a reflection on the subject of God/gods, emphasizing the often fear-based nature of beliefs. The mention of the paradoxical word "Zayin" introduces a contemplation on sustenance, nourishment, weapons, and the intelligent techniques developed for survival.
WingMakers and the Sovereign Integral: The conversation then shifts to the mythological universe within WingMakers, where the Sovereign Integral serves as a central philosophical concept. The Sovereign protagonist confronts spacetime duality and the cultural illusion of separation, leading to a narrative that unfolds across novels, each centered on the overarching idea of the Sovereign Integral.
Skepticism and Testable Beliefs: A nod to hard-nosed skeptics is made, emphasizing the satisfaction derived from their approach. The Son concurs, underscoring the importance of avoiding untestable beliefs for meaningful intellectual advancement.
Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and Personal Identity: The Father introduces Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, framing it as a thought experiment to explore personal identity. The Son connects this cosmological theory to the metaphorical "playground," suggesting a perspective that gods might appreciate in the cyclical nature of existence.
Symbolism and Hidden Treasure: Briefly touching on symbolism, the conversation introduces the idea of unknown symbols as hidden treasures. The Son suggests that human ideas of God/gods are often limited by fearful images, leaving the real nature of the divine unknown to many minds.
Sense of Time: The dialogue briefly addresses the question of why humans have a sense of time. The Son attributes it to the environment in which humans exist, hinting at the experiential nature of temporality.
Expressing Understanding Through Music: The paper concludes with lyrics, presumably written by the Son, expressing an understanding of God/gods and their interrelationship with the Intelligent Information Field (IIF). This artistic expression adds a creative dimension to the philosophical discourse.
Conclusion: In this multifaceted conversation, the participants traverse a landscape of ideas encompassing theology, mythology, cosmology, and personal reflection. The dialogue weaves together diverse concepts, inviting readers to contemplate the intersections of belief, knowledge, and the mysteries that persist in our understanding of existence. The richness of these exchanges encourages further exploration into the realms of metaphysics and the philosophical tapestry that underlies our perception of reality.
