Finite Existence and the Fear of Death? or Universal Access to Knowledge and Self-Mastery? SwordPaper Monastery
Structured Summary of the Speech: (by DeepSeek R1)
- Core Proposition:
The speech centers on the idea that “all knowledge and all power is in all places at all times,” attributed to Flor Elizabeth Carrasco. This leads to the conclusion that self-mastery—how one chooses to live—is derived from recognizing this eternal, omnipresent reality. - Philosophical and Religious Connections:
- The concept aligns with aphorisms like “thoughts become things” and “mind over matter,” reflecting universal principles of creation and consciousness.
- Monotheistic traditions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) and Eastern philosophies (Hinduism, Buddhism) are referenced, emphasizing a singular, eternal existence (“God” or “Brahman”) manifesting through diverse forms.
3. The Three Omnifactors:
- Omnipresence (all places/times): The foundational factor, enabling the others.
- Omniscience (all knowledge): Arises from omnipresence, as being everywhere grants access to all information.
- Omnipotence (all power): Stems from the interplay of presence and knowledge, allowing infinite potential.
- Hierarchy for Human Application: Prioritizes omnipresence as key to accessing knowledge and power in mortal life.
4. Eternal Existence and Physics:
- Theoretical physics concepts like multiverses and quantum fields are invoked to illustrate eternal existence. Energy’s indestructibility (changing forms) mirrors the eternal nature of reality.
- All possibilities exist within eternity, rejecting limitations (“nothing is impossible”). Finite human experiences (e.g., fear of death) contrast with the infinite, where time is non-linear.
4. Critique of Anthropomorphic Divinity:
- Challenges the notion of God as a human-like being with emotions, arguing this imposes finite limitations. Instead, divinity encompasses all existence—subatomic particles, cosmic forces, and consciousness—transcending anthropomorphism.
5. Interconnectedness and Self-Mastery:
- Recognizing our eternal nature fosters interconnectedness (“the eternal in me recognizes the eternal in you”).
- Empowerment comes from aligning with this reality: mastering one’s life by tapping into omnipresent knowledge and power, akin to Eastern philosophies of oneness and self-realization.
6. Cultural References:
- The film Everything Everywhere All at Once is cited as a modern metaphor for omnipresence and infinite possibilities.
Conclusion:
The speech synthesizes theology, philosophy, and physics to argue that self-mastery arises from understanding our place within an eternal, omnipresent reality. By transcending limited perceptions of divinity and embracing interconnectedness, individuals harness their inherent power to shape their lives. This perspective bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary science, offering a holistic view of existence.

Speaker 1 (00:01)
I said all knowledge and all power is in all places at all times and floor floor Elizabeth crosco, in her simple and elegant way, because of that, the way you want to live, your life is master by your own self, the way you want to live. Your life is mastered by your own self So simple all knowledge in all power is in all places at all times may require, for some a little more depth, as to why that would lead to the conclusion that the way you want to live your life is mastered by your own self there.
Speaker 1 (01:09)
There are other ways of saying that it’s been said many times before? Some have said thoughts become things. Others have said we become what we think about.
Speaker 1 (01:28)
Others say things like mind over matter and uh, these are all different expressions of the one thing, and the 1 thing is eternal existence, 1 of the most popular philosophies on the planet. There’s a Trinity of them, some call them the abrahamik, the traditions or Abrahamic religions being Judaism, Islam and Christianity in Christianity, propositions, there is the axiom that must be accepted about, they call God as a matter of fact what all monotheic monotheistic religions call God. There’s a requirement.
Speaker 1 (03:01)
And this requirement or requirements, but it really is one are the omnifactors as I call them and the omnifactors are what I expressed as all knowledge and all power is in all places at all times to which floor responded the way you want to live, your life is mastered by. Your own self. The omnifactors are familiar to a lot of people, they just don’t think of it.
Speaker 1 (03:35)
That way, maybe and don’t group it that way, and I’ve just given it a label. But the omnifactors co-eternal factors co-eternal requirements of eternal existence meeting these 3 omni factors, not one is More important than the other, they do take on a hierarchy, we think about applying it to our govern, physical human lives and the omnifactors in order of importance to human application. His number one omnipresence, that’s the all places at all times because of omnipresence.
Speaker 1 (04:34)
There is omniscience or all knowledge. And of course, because of omnipresence, in all places at all times that leads to omniscience, as I said, and that’s knowledge of all things in all places at all times right. And then of course, because of being everywhere, at all times all at once.
Speaker 1 (05:05)
Knowing everything all at once that leads to the the third one, which is all power. I simply just, I think it just flows. And for me better poetically, when I say all knowledge and all power is in all places at all times I could probably say in all places and all times is all knowledge and all power I don’t think it would really flow any different.
Speaker 1 (05:30)
Maybe I could start saying that, to maintain that hierarchy that applies best 2A mortal existence as a human. Now, this is fundamental to understanding one thing that’s coming immediately to mind, because I was thinking about this earlier And how I would present? This was one of my yoga.
Speaker 1 (06:07)
Students who happened to be from India, who also adopt a monotheistic position and he said, one God, many forms, 1 of the unfortunate things when people hear the word God, is they tend to think of a beam, basically a creature. How’s a place in space somewhere up to where we pray right? And cares about the affairs of everyday human beings that we’re created in this gods image.
Speaker 1 (07:02)
Most people consider it to be a he, well, at least in these monotheistic, Abrahamic religions, but this is eternal existence. These co-eternal factors, the omnifactors omnipresence, which is all places at all times omniscience, knowing all things at all times and omnipotence, haven’t all power Uber all things at all times this fundamental understanding brings to mind another expression. We know of which is it’s been expressed as always, has been is and always will be meaning there’s no beginning and there will be no end.
Speaker 1 (08:13)
That’s eternity. That’s what it means eternal, I prefer the word eternal over forever and infinity eternal. Is it?
Speaker 1 (08:27)
It doesn’t Taken to consideration finitude, right to be finite to have a finish, an end as an infinite and forever, just eternal eternity. This is the idea in theoretical physics gives rise to the propositions of multiverseys and multiple dimensions and the understanding that Because of our existence being eternal, there are bound to be all possibilities because of that. And because of all possibilities that means that there are physical worlds, exactly like ours and others that are exactly opposite because the requirements of eternity.
Speaker 1 (09:53)
Are that mmm? No thing isn’t nothing is impossible, meaning all things are possible in eternity, even if it’s just for a brief time. The thing about eternity is that you can’t put restrictions on it within eternal existence, there are finitudes.
Speaker 1 (10:25)
There are finite things we know this very well. Which is why people, besides having, you know a fear of public speaking, which is actually a fear greater than death for many people. But why people even have that fear of death at all?
Speaker 1 (10:50)
It’s a fittude, we know we accept, we see it all around us all the time, every day we we understand it that life ends. Our human mortal lives end. And so that’s the perspective that we have that we are going to end.
Speaker 1 (11:10)
And some may have this idea that when we end, it means we just seep out into a nothingness that for us, our consciousness dissipates, there’s no more information or understanding or sentience, of any kind No memory of being a human being. We just dissolve into the eternity and become as unconscious, maybe how some people regard rocks or the wind, but an eternal perspective. Invite further speculation, imagination possibility, even if it may not be a probability, because from an eternal perspective, the perspective that I adopt as reality.
Speaker 1 (12:35)
All things must be possible. Limitations cannot be put a pawn to use this understanding of it Limitations cannot be put upon God, even in that limited sense of God, as a being, this God, is the creator of all things in universe always was is and always will be so all things are possible. If that were not true, that would not be the God of the universe.
Speaker 1 (13:20)
But even again, that idea of God being a being Puts limitations on God, because it gives God anthropomorphic or human, like, or being like a creature like it attributes that has things like emotions and gets upset and is sad, that human beings do bad thing, or as glad that human beings do good things and for an eternal being meanwhile, that is possible? It’s possible through us and other beings and creatures that feel and express all these things. And it is also the rock and the wind and the interstellar space and the subatomic particles and things that we would not be able to relate to in any way as having consciousness.
Speaker 1 (14:20)
You think about the universe that we can see physicist cosmologists talk about the known universe, which is that expanse, we see billions and billions of light years out, and we see a horizon at which point we can see no further, because light has traveled all this time. To get to where we are. And so we just see that far out in a sphere around us.
Speaker 1 (14:53)
And within that there are Galaxy’s and of course, Galaxy’s are made of stars and around many, many stars. There are planets, and on some of those planets. There’s life we know there’s life here and life you can call them organisms Organisms are made of organs, organs are made of cells, cells are made of molecules.
Speaker 1 (15:20)
Molecules are made of atoms. Atoms are made of subatomic particles, electrons that orbit if to use the term orbit, but we could say better probability cloud there on a probability cloud around Protons and neutrons in the simplest atom proteum, which is hydrogen, the most abundant form of hydrogen, those 2 other types of proteum deuterium, and tritium deuterium, being a proton and a neutron in the center and then tritium being a proton and 2. Neutrons, which doesn’t change the nucleus’s charge, so it doesn’t attract any more electrons.
Speaker 1 (16:08)
Or else then it would become helium, but it makes it heavier. So they call them heavy hydrogens, but they’re less stable and more rare, but in the simplest form, right, you have an electron, a proton, and then the electron and proton are attracted to each other, they’re interacting. With photons, what we know is what we call light certain frequencies, and then within the proton, we also have what they call quarks, which are also have charge, but they’re held together by gluons, which are like the brothers they’re related to photons, but this is all really and everything has an oscillation.
Speaker 1 (17:03)
Everything has a vibration, everything has an energy quantum field theory. Everything’s in a field operating in a field. Electrons are vibrating, an electron fuel, and all the other parts of atomic basic fundamental particles that we see that can’t be broken up into smaller ones are vibrating in a field, right?
Speaker 1 (17:34)
It’s this eternal field that we exist in the one of the things about physics that people may have heard and in popular sciences, energy is never created or destroyed. It simply changes form. And this is another small perspective, another small piece of this understanding is?
Speaker 1 (18:00)
That all knowledge and all power is in all places at all times and it’s all really can be distilled. Refined to one omnifactor which is omnipresence, all places at all times and it brings to mind the title of a movie, everything everywhere all at once, everything everywhere all at once? These are just different ways of saying that same thing now, this should give us something to think about, but really, what does it all mean?
Speaker 1 (19:26)
And why should we care, what can we do with that information? Is there any application of that I know that there is it helps To strengthen our faith in interconnectedness, that we truly are all one, as Buddhist philosophy is often attributed with offering that perspective mainly and Hinduism, right? Another, the original monotheistic or monastic, right, because it’s not monotheistic, it’s more monastic, meaning it’s just one God.
Speaker 1 (20:27)
But many forms. So even though as individual parts of the whole, we may not wield the same power even as lightning or the gravitational pull of celestial bodies upon each other, we do half power. The one main issue is that it may be that this is known and at some point long ago.
Speaker 1 (21:34)
Some individual or group made a decision or made a mistake in sharing knowledge and information that separated us from this understanding of reality as eternal existence. And with that, a lot of consequences have followed mainly that we as human beings. I’ve forgotten the natural consequences.
Speaker 1 (22:29)
The concentration of eternal existence into material physical existence, which is the experience of time as linear and the experience of process and chronology and order, which is simply each individual. Each individual person plant animal subatomic particle quantum field, all the energy, everything all having its unique experience in time in space and outside of time and outside of space, omnipresent b, that is the essence of existence always was is And always will be within and all around you.
Speaker 1 (24:25)
The eternal in me, recognizes the eternal in u, all knowledge and allpower it is in all places at all times the way you want to live, your life is mastered by your own self.
UnEdited Samsung Voice Recorder Summary
Universal Access to Knowledge and Self-Mastery
- The text asserts that knowledge and power are omnipresent and accessible at all times.
- This accessibility implies self-mastery over one’s life and the ability to shape it according to one’s desires.
- Alternative expressions of this concept include ‘thoughts become things’ and ‘we become what we think about’.
Eternal Existence and Omnifactors
- Different philosophies express the concept of eternal existence.
- Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam, Christianity) share a common belief in God.
- The concept of ‘omnifactors’ encompasses all knowledge and power present everywhere at all times.
Omni-Factors: A Hierarchy of Existence
- Three co-eternal factors—omnipresence, omniscience, and a third unnamed factor—are essential for eternal existence.
- These factors are not ranked equally in importance, though a hierarchy exists.
- Omnipresence (being everywhere at all times) is considered the most important for human application, leading to omniscience (knowledge of all things).
Interconnectedness of Knowledge and Power
- The concept explores the interconnectedness of knowledge and power.
- All knowledge and power exist in all places at all times.
- The presentation style considers the hierarchy applicable to mortal existence.
Concept of God in Monotheistic Religions
- Discussion on the monotheistic concept of God, emphasizing the ‘one God, many forms’ perspective.
- Addresses the common misconception of God as a physical being or creature in space.
- Explores the attributes of God: omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence, highlighting the concept of eternal existence.
Eternity: A Concept of Boundless Possibilities
- The text explores the concept of eternity, contrasting it with ‘forever’ and ‘infinity’.
- It connects the idea of eternity in theoretical physics with the existence of multiple dimensions and universes.
- The text argues that within eternity, all possibilities, including those opposite to our reality, exist due to the absence of restrictions.
Finite Existence and the Fear of Death
- The text explores the concept of finite existence and the fear of death.
- It discusses the common fear of public speaking, comparing it to the fear of death.
- The text also contemplates the possibility of consciousness dissipating after death, leading to a state of nothingness.
The Boundless Potential of Existence
- The text explores the concept of limitless possibilities inherent in the universe.
- It challenges the idea of imposing limitations on a divine entity, even conceptually.
- The discussion expands to encompass the diverse expressions of existence, from sentient beings to inanimate elements.
Exploring the Observable Universe
- The known universe extends billions of light-years, limited by the travel time of light.
- This observable sphere contains galaxies composed of stars and their orbiting planets.
- Some planets harbor life, with organisms built from molecules, cells, organs, and so on.
Atomic Structure: A Composition of Subatomic Particles
- Molecules are composed of atoms.
- Atoms contain subatomic particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons.
- Hydrogen’s isotopes (protium, deuterium, tritium) differ in neutron count, not charge.
Atomic Structure and Vibrational Fields
- Isotopes of hydrogen are discussed, noting their relative stability and abundance.
- The basic structure of a hydrogen atom is described, including the interaction between electrons and protons.
- The text explains that fundamental particles, including electrons and quarks, vibrate within a quantum field.
Omnipresence: A Universal Concept
- Physics principle: Energy transformation, not creation or destruction.
- Concept of omnipresence: Knowledge and power exist everywhere at all times.
- Exploration of the interconnectedness of everything.
Interconnectedness and Divine Power
- Exploration of the application of interconnectedness.
- Discussion on the strengthening of faith through this concept.
- Comparison of perspectives from Buddhist and monotheistic/monastic traditions.
Eternal Existence and Linear Time
- A decision or mistake in knowledge sharing caused separation from the understanding of reality as eternal existence.
- This led to consequences, including the perception of time as linear and the experience of processes.
- Eternal existence is omnipresent, encompassing all things, and each entity has a unique experience within and outside of time and space.
