Philosophical discussion of “reality” – is it real? Or is it perhaps Super Real? Surrealistically speaking.
OK … now we’re getting into numbers that not even the US govt would understand. And then we begin to add in the trillions of bugs and other living beings that exist on this and other planets. If something is alive is it not putting out a signal, or message, or some form of speech to those of its own species, possibly others? Even a tree has thoughts. Have you ever rested up against a tree and not felt the life force within? Did you get the feeling that the tree was communicating with you but you either didn’t speak tree, or you had no program that covered it, or you felt stupid, or you just relaxed and felt the positive energy the tree was attempting to give?
And then ponder this. As you begin to shrink in size you see how small things can get, all the way down to microbes, and then cells, and then you begin to go really small. I mean like out to the end of our galaxy … and back … small to the power of infinity plus infinity.
Now go the opposite direction and imagine Men in Black where the camera fades from the Earth and retracts into space and soon you see that we are a marble in someones sack of marbles. Pretty cosmic thought yes? Well, what if we were not a marble in a sack but a grain of sand on a beach in the “Universal Gobi Desert”? And this is just one of those deserts … there are many, many more, to the infinite power etc.
And to think that there used to be a time when these thoughts were totally unimaginable. Just think, with technology on the rise, isn’t it possible that there will be a time not so distant in which we will consider this discussion and this paper as being infantile and so far below the bar that people of the future will not even begin to fathom its simplicity?
Just imagine how many new universes have opened up since I began writing this and you, or I, began reading this. Does a whole new beach pop up at one sitting?
I will leave you with this thought for now but I will check in with you on Monday after the 4th of July holiday to see how you are doing with this.
Our next assignment will involve being able to sense the thoughts and feelings of all living beings, first on this planet and then on the 53 closest from that. It will be fun. Have you ever felt the thrill of a sea squirrel when it first wakes up and stretches? You will …. yes ….. YOU WILL!
Happy Independence Day … Keep Your Reality Reasonably Safe and Just a Tad Beyond Sane … it’s the only way … TO BE!
