Apeirophobia – Observations/ Hypothesis/Theory
Altering the epigenetics of our psychic biology to co-exist with the awareness of eternity
There is no day after yesterday, so I draw my memories from tomorrow
Power of Equals:
To coexist with eternity and to redefine purpose we have to ask ourselves what is it to advance. First off let us eliminate the two primary illusions of advancement in accordance with infinity.
For those that have this concept awareness, we recognize although technology is entertaining, it is fleeting. Time will erase over and over again civilizations and cultures built solely on externalized technologies.
Then we have internalized developments ranging from the mental quantum manipulation of the environment, social domination, philosophy, and even ponder psychic development. In the end, as with externalized technologies internalized advancement is often an attempt to have power over. or greater understanding of the environment at hand. Knowing that environments are never a constant, so can never be these advancements.
To the Eternalist, I hypothesize our advancement comes from being able to build upon our experiences as long as we desire. That caveat being, since time is not linear neither is memory nor experience. I would hypothesize since our resonance most likely follow us as intent. Full advancement would be, being able to draw upon all our experiences from whatever before our beginning was.
The question being, does all this advancement make you happy? Which brings you back to the present moment. If whatever energy (i.e. emotion) you desire to feel at any individual point in time is the one that you seek. Then it may be appropriate to say that you have advanced.
To the Eternalist who is attempting to learn how to adapt and coexist with the concept awareness of eternity. We are primarily seeking a relief from despair, anxiety, panic etc..
Now for those who followed this disjointed grammar and logic so far.
Time not being linear, yet eternal, both forward and backwards, memories both manifested, and forgotten, realities inconsistent, malleable , virtual, as well as perceived. Us being intent and having the impressions of our individual experience being linear. Though our memories often fabricated and extinguished does not exclude the individual impressions of our eternal existence.
Though we may not remember an event, it does not mean we cannot draw upon its impression. Just as if we remember what we did in preschool does not require us to recall every event backwards to that point.
Being advanced to the Eternalist is purely personal. Knowing our exploration of concepts often gets us lost in defining our purpose. Therefore we seek balance in these discoveries. If it is possible to draw up the ever so weak resonance of experiences, without having to actually remember the event. We may be able to manifest the solution at any point.
If at this point, you overcome the issues that present itself with the concept awareness of eternity. That means the solution resonates with you regardless of time or environment. Overcome the despair, anxiety, panic, etc. that come along with the concept awareness of eternity. That solution even though not necessarily evident still will resonate with you eternally. This to those that see no end, nor beginning is what it means to advance. For once we can coexist with time and not devolve from the fear of time. It is now we can delve into the discoveries beyond the eternal environment in which we will always exist.

As a side note my writing is brief and direct. This is because this site is only being communicated to those whom had asked these questions before.
Eternalism like Existentialism but now with more added you !!!
-
I am currently in the process of writing this segment. I am what you would called Literature challenged.
-
This segment is purely hypothetical and delves and eventually leads to the possible reasons why our initial response to the concept awareness of eternity is negative.
-
The route being taken is one of epigenetic, since emotions can be passed down through a lineage.
-
Please feel free to add, as we have no authorities on this subject…
Once we delve into observation we risk forming a philosophy. I have a simple quote about philosophy “ Philosophy is the luxury of a full stomach” . Yet, in order for us hypothesize to why our initial response to why certain concepts are so abhorrent to our emotional biology we have to look at our epigenetic programming.
Humankind in my bias has been off track for thousands of years. Somewhere along our history, and probably with good intention, we began to believe in things greater than oneself. Operating as a community to achieve a common goal regardless of the reasons contributed to our survival.
This began to mutate, when we became obsessed with proving the unseen exist. So much so, we failed to deal with the knowns such as us. Developing volumes of work, directed at finding stories, quotes, and ideals the resonated positively with the observer. Obviously the more one wrote, the greater the odds someone was going to find something they agreed with. Often rationalizing the subjects they find in conflict as some sort of hidden meaning. Ironically it is this same curiosity of the unknowns which drive our discovery.
Not all had that same drive for discovery, many it was more about reciprocity. Whether it be power over ones adversaries, environment, heavenly rewards etc… Leading to a planet of mildly insecure co-dependents more concerned about transcendence than existence. Making the afterlife sound more like an emotional welfare system.
On the flip side existential nihilism and atheism , which is even tougher to prove than god. Where one group wants to prove the unseen, the other wants to disprove the seen. Assuming that order is just some random chance, excluding the statistical probabilities and possibilities.
Ironically we end up with the elephant in the room. Human advancement primarily being equated to our technological advancement. Sociology wise, I would assume we are losing more and more ourselves, as we abdicate our meaning to our avatars or possessions. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs becoming more like our outdated four food groups. Plenty of Billionaires have no problem hanging out at the bottom of that pyramid. In fact it needs a basement added where paranoia, gluttony and narcissism can find a nice tomb.
The Eternalist – I AM, I ALWAYS WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE
I AM
To discuss what Eternalism is, it is best to discuss what is an Eternalist. This is where existence has to be defined into it simplest concept. Void of philosophical musings and conjecture of individual purpose . No thoughts of astral, divine, nor universal reciprocity. No books, manuscripts, tablets, edicts, nor councils of men to direct our spiritual path. Reality is viewed as a non-constant, life as a personal interpretation.
External environments and form not relevant to our existence. As opposed to carbon theory, we were born of quartz and silica and if our essence were imbued into a computer. It will be to quartz and silica we shall return. Where, when and what we exist in is not relevant to our existence.
Philosophy, religion, atheism, relationships, morals, ethics, beauty, love etc., all individual choices. This does not mean that there are no Gods, or Goddesses at the time. Existence though forever, will with probability have the less possible occur. On the flip side of that, No Gods No Rules. Eternalist know there is a high probability they have experienced all probable possibilities before.
Eternalism is about concept awareness. In this struggle with concept awareness ,we are given two paths. These paths are actual choices neither wrong nor right, coexist with the awareness of forever or not. In all events, future, past, present there is only one common denominator , and that is you.
To say that you are the center of your own awareness is lex parsimoniae . Even if all this is a dream, it is of no consequence because you are the intent. Then one may imply Eternalism is a belief like atheism or a religion, for we claim that we are the centers of our own realities. Well in reality Eternalism is just about attempting to adapt to one of the toughest concepts of all. Easy to say, yet almost impossible for one to truly understand “ I AM, I ALWAYS WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE “.

Praeter Principium Metus – Conception of that which never began, but yet always was?
In order for any concept of time to be truly understood one has to do more than look forward. This to me raises the highest of perplexing dilemmas. How do we look back? I am not talking the illusions of history crafted for our convenience.
History as we know it, is something we really do not know at all. We just accept it through an accumulation of empirical evidence and scholarly interpretations. After that History, as with Religion are both accepted upon faith. Each measured by being either more, or less possible.
For the Eternalist approach though, there is less of interest in human history and more of what is creation. Hence the problem is the language in which the question is framed.
If eternity is linear and infinite, than there must be a point A. Which nothing could have existed prior to point A.
If eternity is linear and circular, than we exist before both the beginning and the end of Point A. With the exception that NOW ( this second ) is also both the beginning and the end. Now that current beginning of NOW ( that last second) just became the illusion. Yet that past is also still possible , probable, and inevitable.
If eternity is not linear than it is truly not measurable. Except maybe in small segments that are perceived by the participant. However once this is history, those measurements not being present are merely illusion.
Hence the trap is set. Where is point A ?
Must there be a point A ( i.e. beginning )?
We are here, but where was there?
Can eternity be perceived as something that always was? Yet every bit of our intellect questions how something can exist without a beginning?
Yes it is easier for us to awaken and grasp the concepts of never ending. Yet we judge this existence without yet being able to grasp what always was.

I am therefore I Exist: I exist therefore I am Eternal.
The initial adversity of attempting to rationalize eternity only exist because we fear we exist with it. Hence this is not an attempt to define ourselves as a soul, but only to deal with possible or probable knowns .
Realities are a non-constant, whether we exist in a simulation or chaos. Therefore as in a simulation there are the laws on those factors which exist within the programing , but few on the creator or creators. Environments can be altered without any particular rationale. Each factor in the fabricated reality an intent. Each intent existing of countless other intents (i.e. or codes).
When Intent acts in concert with a majority of the other resonances that creates intent in which order is formed.
Understanding that we are not our memories but our actions, is a conflict of interpretation. Intent being our nature, not our memories. This is not taking into account, that as a body we are non-homogeneous. You are a they, as it is the intent of untold number of other forms of life that keep you breathing here. As you the primary Intent depart, the unlimited number of other self-propagating forms of intent (i.e life ) do also.
This subject is not designed to be an interpretation of how you fit in existence. It is just that you exist NOW and therefore it is possible that you will exist again and again, resonating indefinitely. Never necessarily in a constant, but constantly always existing.
You are You, not your memories but just you.
Phases of existence, souls, gods, atheism, spirits, realties, universes, dimensions, angels, devils ,demons and time itself are not you and if you choose not relevant. This does not mean that for every action there may be a reaction. You do live in the now, and it does pay to know the rules of your current reality.
In this intentionally brief logic argument in regards to you existing whether you aware of it or not. It is not difficult to prove you exist when you currently do. I am not here to prove to you that you will exist later, beyond the thankless other life forms that currently are keeping you reading. It is just to the Eternalist, if it happens just once, that once is now a constant on its own timeline. If you followed the topic to this point so far, you are capable of filling in the blanks yourself.
We deal in probability and possibility. You have proven yourself possible, now you shall always be probable.

Eternalism is not a Philosophy, but an Adaptation
In the Conformist sense, there is an attempt to define Eternalism as the following:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word eternalism has at least three meanings:
- In philosophy, Eternalism is a philosophical approach to the ontological nature of time, which takes the view that all points in time are equally “real”, as opposed to the presentist idea that only the present is real.
- Positive belief in the eternity of the world or the law of conservation of energy.
- Eternalism is the common English translation of sassatavada, the doctrine of unchanging being rejected by Buddhism.
In my view or as one who actually has struggled with the concept issues of eternity. This is about an adaptation to an alien perception of time, not philosophy. To those that experience the dark struggles of our attempt to interpret the un-interpretable, philosophy is no antidote.
Eternalism I would hypothesize is more about perceiving and accepting that our individual existence is in an infinite non linear, non measurable dimension. Dimension just being an analogy to a non-contained, self propagating, environment. Hence:
Eternalism: Perceiving and accepting that individual existence is in an infinite non linear, non measurable dimension. Resulting in, once something exist it can never non-exist.
Eternalist will be left as a separate topic:

Identified Phases of Apeirophobia
From zero to Oblivion, as if it was here before it had a chance to happen.
All I have encountered to date, have had their first experience manifest itself abruptly.
What normally is actualized is a concept challenge of consciousness and an interpretation of no linear end.
Our consciousness normally operated within a fixed measurable but limited reality. However, when fixed, measurable, and limited are removed from the frame in which our consciousness normally operates. Rapid adjustments to our core values of our own place, worth and purpose result in panic, fear, and despair.
To some this can actual be as if eternity is a flow or a stream, like a physical energy (such as myself). To others it is more ethereal as a concept, or a cage of no escape.
The common denominator in all cases so far is a resonance. Which appears a broad term, since that appears to be what most things that exist do.
Then comes the creative ways people attempt to circumvent or co-exist with what some see as an unimaginable terror. This really cannot be classified as a phobia, for it is more a concept challenge. Unless one thinks they can escape existence.
Many will delve into religion, atheism, drugs, philosophy, simply try to ignore it, or even contemplate suicide. Inevitably there are only two primary options. Those being to either immerse yourself in it, or de-evolve the way you think ( i.e. hit the delete button ) .
I myself have crossed the proverbial River Styx without having to pay with my memories. I regret I cannot tell you some two bit popcorn philosophy line with butterflies and sunsets as a back drop. I can tell you though, it can be done.
When you do, nothing really special is going to happen except one simple thing. Your inner strength not having to rely on the illusion of unstable structures built by fearful civilizations, will begin to take hold. You will build on your reality. Who you are, will be an unfolding of your true nature and no one else’s.
As for me, I am no one special nor do I have to be. I know I am my own ancestor as well as my own progeny. For me personally my challenge is to always build upon this line. My memories a sliding scale that fades, limiting my immediate experience and anticipations of things to come. However my actions, no matter how faint in the distance, are a standing record to my eternal nature.

Apeirophobia
Welcome to Club Apeirophobia,
In short Apeirophobia to the outside world is a generalized fear of eternity. With a general assumption that it is some sort of fear of eternal repetition. Innocently not understanding that this is a linear concept issue, in regards to our deeper issue of personal significance. We inadvertently fall into this mental or philosophical conflict with the concept of time and place seem never to seek out this so called phobia. There, after all, is the twist. This really is not a phobia, but a struggle to define personal significance or any significance for that matter in a never ending story.
From this point on I like to move the innocently ignorant classification of Apeirophobia to one of Eternalism. It is not a fear of time; it is a fear of meaning in respect to forever. Only those who actually have been awoken to this initial despair, understand the meaning of the prior statement.
With the risk of me sounding esoteric. We Eternalist know that relationships, memories, civilizations, planets, stars, universes, religion, gods, etc., all eventually fade. That is even if time follows a linear path at all. In the end linear, non-linear there is only you.
So, why even bother writing this down? For one, all I know is the now. I see this concept struggle being brought into the realm of self-pity, despair, panic, or anything else that makes this self-inflicted purgatory just plain dreadful. As I glance through the history of our chosen philosophers who dwelled on the subject, it gets both boring and dreadful.
To many of us, due to our different concepts of existence, we really don’t care how many accolades our societies throw upon our pre-packaged gurus. To us that have delved into the sometimes painful concepts of the never ending, Truth resonates.
EPIGENETICS TIME TO REWIRE:
You, I, and whomever else have to ask the question why our initial response to this concept awakening is so very, very not pleasant? Of all the ways and emotions we could experience to this initial unknown, why terror like responses? Often no one else in our immediate circles of friends, relatives, folklore, or religion pre-conditioned us to this concept. Why biologically are we obstructed from thinking about something that should make no difference to our evolution? I can only hypothesize understanding time in a positive resonance would only empower it.
This site is being development in a very haphazard attempt to why we have this built-in self-destruct mechanism, and how, and now we can re-wire our response to the eternal concepts.

Eternalist perception of structure components
Rationale of Cards 1 through 10 Over the years , I personally became stuck in what may be called a logic loop. Existence and Time became an obsession in regard to which came first. Often leading to the question why anything exists at all. I kept questioning each hypothesis that was postulated over and over again. I became often engulfed by the indescribable despair and the total loss of purpose that often accompanies this initial phobia of eternity. I then began to realize that this pain, was not a defect but an adaptation. In order to survive, I literally had to change everything I thought existence was. These first 10 cards are just the beginning on how I personally reprogrammed my views in order to adapt. Humbly, Ralph Edward Turchiano
Rationale of Cards 21-30 Existence, infinity, reality, and dimension are a series of sets. These Sets are based upon the perception of what can be defined as identity. Identity itself is a series of sets, as it may be rare that any identity is purely homogeneous with itself. What is one, can be infinitely divided amongst itself. Where nothing is created, but simply divided. Later what may appear as being created, is simply a union of what originally was. Any Reality in itself within this context can have infinite possibilities as any division within itself, is never limited by itself, but by only what is perceived Proof most commonly applies to what can be repeated and is limited to the truth of what may not be repeated. Do not confuse Proof with Truth.Recent Comments
