Nietzsche quotes
Everything here is a spinning in the circle. The question is how and in what way we can face this circle, instead of continually closing our eyes in the face of it.
A prophet is a historian looking forward, a historian, a prophet looking backwards.
Even a thought, a possibility can shatter and transform us
Live in such a way that you wish to live again, you will do so in any case!
Nietzsche
Hell and chaos has already happened. The worst is over and yet to come.
I was just thinking about hell the other day, and was concocting a theory about it via the Law of enthropy, i.e. the heat death of the universe.
It is said that the universe came from the explosion of a quark so dense it contained the mass of the entire universe. This then exploded (the bigbang) so as to create the universe that makes life possible. had the universe expanded .0001 faster the world would have diffused (ice) had it expanded .0001 slower, the world would have collapsed imploding on itself (fire) but instead expanded in just the right rate to create life, now, as we know it (too meaningfully coincidental not to believe in god, ain't it?)
Since this process is said to be infinite --and since the world is said to end in "heat death" everything reduced to either useless unrecyclable heat or pure energy (which i think is comprised of our [higher] consciousness) this end of the world scenario can be what is prophecied as heaven or hell. Hence, those who did not develop a higher consciousness and remains in the realm of matter are what Nietzsche calls the fleeting ones. Their life will not recur because they had no vision for eternity, no imagination for the 'kingdom' or queendom, if you will, of God.
Those who position themselves worthy of eternity, who train their consciousness to expand to understanding this benign or cruel "eternal return of the same" would have achieved the awareness necessary to spare them of this fate.
But since past, present, and future does not exist in the quantum and unconscious realms, Heaven and hell has already happened and will continue to recur over and over again.
So, in this inevitable spiraling circle where are we destined to, is the question.
nice formulation...

licel, just now that am able to read---- the student assumed hell to be non-expanding as his bed as souls are massive to occupy tangible spaces in hell. i also wonder if hell reaches a freezing state that Teresa could indeed shout the line (or could one shout in ecstasy at the dormancy of hell? any experienced one there?)... what I am thinking is the possibility of convergence of heaven and hell in one non-massive space so as to cause Teresa's bemoaning and as to occasion such depiction of heaven/hell by the said student. so at a critical phase of convergence, hell is both exo and endo... should I say, one may confuse hell for heaven, and vice-versa. i really doubt those implicit assumptions and his/her postulation, not unless his/her a priori is that Teresa is a heavenly body. If I were his teacher, I would certainly give him/her a mark of "X", bloody wicked! hahaha...

Subject: [upgps] is hell exothermic or endothermic?
The following is supposedly an actual question given
on a
University
of
Washington
chemistry mid-term. The
answer by one student was so "profound" that the
professor shared it with colleagues, via the
Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the
pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat)
or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs
using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and
heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is
changing in time. So we need to know the rate at
which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at
which they are leaving. I think that we can safely
assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not
leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look
at the religions state that if you are not a member
of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there
is more than one of these religions and since people
do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can
expect the number of souls in Hell to increase
exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of
the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that
in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to
stay the same, the
volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as
souls are added. This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the
rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature
and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell
breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the
increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and
pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to
me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will
be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and
take into account the fact that I slept with her
last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I
am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has
frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any
more souls and is therefore, extinct, leaving only
Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept
shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"
