Eternal inflation
There seems to be some kind of eternal inflation of multiverse theories...
Gadfly Sabine Hossenfelder bravely takes on the multiverse hypotheses (yes, there are a couple) and wins hands down.
I love her! Question is: Did you sign up for Nord VPN?!
But wait, multiverses are irrelevant since we can't be in them, see or measure them. But believing in something we can't see isn't science, it's religion. Good for her!
But Sabine, 9 does work, at least as far as the enneagram goes.
Divide 1 by 7 = .142857 divide 2 by 7 = .2857142 divide 3 by 7 = .428571 and so forth.
What's missing, what does not appear? Numbers 3 6 and 9 And we don't have to believe in 3, 6 or 9 but we don't see them. So long story short: trinity, (call it what you like Godhead etc.) is hidden inside the .142857 of *matter* or so the Gurdjieffian Law of 7 transposed onto the Enneagram would demonstrate to us. Octaves, vibrations of sound follow mathematical law. Look at a set of piano keys. No half tones (sharp or flat) between E/F and B/C. Why? The leap between E/F (or obstacle in our effort to achieve a goal) can be overcome by our own (human) effort. But the final leap between B/C is too massive, requires a degree of effort we can't achieve, so it may or may not be assisted by the unseen Trinity, or in religious terms, the Grace of God (or Gods!)
Like reading Idries Shah - The Wisdom of the Idiots...
So, somehow in my brain what Ms. Sabine is saying is: science is demonstrable and religion is belief, and we can't scientifically prove a *God* created anything. Theories may or may not be relevant, especially about things we can't engage with.
I'll have to watch it again as she made a few laudable points. Fun mental exercise on a Fredag morning!
I have a VPN, not sure if it´s Nord, though. Some of those sponsors are pretty daring, I mean, even a controversialist like Edward Dutton managed to find some kind of VPN-ish sponsor!
Not sure what to say about the enneagrams, but as far as God is concerned, well, many people around the world *do* claim to have met him/experienced him, so God isn´t like the multiverse...
Naturally, Mr. Timeless, the question is: have you or I *seen* god, and lived to tell about it !? I really think you are on to something in the "No Limit" blog. Once took some LSD and saw the baby Jesus at the center of the universe, smiling inside a yonic-egg-shaped-pocket on a crucifix/pressing weight of suffering to keep all existence in operation; but probably not considered an *authentic revelation*! Once was in a Catholic ministry training course and asked the teacher/priest "Oh, so if I have a vision or revelation of God I could write my own Gospel or contribute to the spiritual treasury of the church? He said "No, the Canon is closed." Oh, excuse me your majesties! Pompous jerks! Guess that's why it's called priesthood as in 'hoodwinked'. Yes, only "We" have the truth etc etc and You must believe *this* and not "that" and yes they did not want the Bible to be printed for the masses to read because? Since the bronze age and probably the Ziggurat stage of Mesopotamia so called priestly class has been mucking up individual revelation.
If I give 50 kronor to a homeless person in Stockholm, he might see that as God in his/her life. My former rainbow over the canoe fishing story is similar too...might that not have been a sign? So our subjective references inform our naming/seeing/claiming god certainly. Even if I have seen god who would believe me and why would I want to tell anybody about it? Imagine: "Hello, I've seen God! Care to contribute to my cause?" Ok, the patient dies on the operating table but the doctors and nurses valiantly restore him back to life. He wakes up and looks around and says "I've seen God" "Really?" say the doctors and nurses (in unison of course) "what is God like?" "Well" says our patient "She's Black."

Unless of course God *is* the multiverse, somehow...
