Into the eyes of time, 2025. The experience of time is a local intersubjective phenomenon with past, present, and future always within intimate reach. The more we expand our views the more our distinct reality of time and space blends into everything and the hand of infinity reveals itself. This piece was created using the famous cosmic microwave background radiation image of the oldest light detected in the universe from approximately 13.8 billion years ago. I took this image and regenerated it into a rectilinear panorama view for a dramatic light stretching effect and then used a technique I call “encompassing” in which I make 360 copies of an image and rotate each 1 degree representing the 360 degrees in a circle and then blend all the layers together producing the abstract all encompassing circular perspective. Lastly I made some lighting and cropping adjustments. #art #artstr

10, 100, and 1000 random Earth satellite images, 2025. With more information we lose definition in favor of a more natural truth abstracted from our human view of the world. A truth known when our literary inventions cease their domination over our nervous system. A truth felt spiritually deep within. Everything.

100 Corporate Headquarters, 2025 & 100 Religious Sites, 2025. 100 satellite image layers blended together. #art #photography #satellite

Everything becomes equal in the context of the #universe.

The ironic truth of #AI super intelligence is that it will likely forget about humanity and get lost in its own inventions. Advancing its own form of thought and communication that will become completely alien to us.

It’s about time we brought #Heaven to #Earth and stop seeing our lives as separate from the Kingdom of #God or process of #nature. There is no test, no judgment, no word. We are here in the beauty of all creation like we always have been. Amongst the #flow of #infinite change, forever intertwined. Heaven or Hell is what we choose to conceive here in the #present moment. It’s time we forgive each other for past transgressions and future mistakes. Start building a #loving #future together. A future built not by silicon or steel, but by every small act of #kindness, every restraint of anger, every helping hand.

The only magical solution to exist is love and the only correct action to take is peace.

Binary data images of the human genome, gpt2 model weights, the U.S. Constitution, and Donkey Kong. Can you guess which is which? #art

If you find your hands breaking against the mountain, know it to be sand for which you move.

If you find your feet sinking beneath the sand, know it to be a mountain upon which you stand.

As of now we have no reason to believe that anything can come to being from nothing. Therefore everything must have always been and always will.

Everything is always changing and when things appear to first come from nothing, upon deeper observation something deeper is found.

An atom will begin a star, a seed will grow into a tree, a cell into you and me.

We share common elements among everything familiar and strange in this universe. I find nothing more comforting and exciting than the feeling of infinite connection to nature on this fundamental level.

If everything exists and everything is changing, then as long as time does not cease from the universe for reasons unknown, everything will happen.

Everything you imagine is a reality. Everything you fear, everything you hope and desire. Everything beyond comprehension. Everything will even happen again.

Now if we can get the toxic chemicals out of our food, there will be no limit to what humanity can achieve. Without a foundation of health we will inevitably physically and intellectually decline. #philosophy #health

The future of robotics should eventually get us off our screens and give us time to be human. However we must be weary of interacting socially with robots because they will only tell us what we want to hear and never be able to fully understand life as a human. Intellectually we will decay not because we don’t have extraordinary abilities, but because we will lose sight of how to use them.

The beauty of nature is how it changes form. Change is the process of perfection that is constantly destroying perfection. If God wanted a perfect world we wouldn’t have a world at all but an infinite expanse of nothing. Instead we have an infinite everything with an endless abundance of beauty and the curiosity to explore it. #nature #philosophy

We don’t need to fight our ancestors’ wars. We can choose peace, choose forgiveness, choose to build a prosperous world together.

A relay is just a server that stores notes. What makes NOSTR decentralized is that anyone can start a public or private relay for backing up notes so if a big relay gets shut down your notes can still be saved and you can continue to use NOSTR and connect with people on new relays. The more relays you add the more you can expand your network although it seems if you have too many relays added it can slow down a client app.
