If you want to understand the multiverse its easy: understand the life we've led here on this planet amid forests and sea shores, nations and people.  Simply step back mentally and take it all in. A crucial fact about the multiverse: it doesn't need to be imagined. This is it. Our comprehension of the context of its nature and how it relates to us needs to be modified  if we think of the multiverse being comprised in any other way than the crickets, continents, oceans, elm trees, coyotes, June bugs, lightning storms, auto dealers, hurricanes, rain forests, star light, earthquakes, evening tides, scattered sunsets and erupting volcanoes along with everything else we know about nature receding back into a blurry molten stream of memories. If we imagine the multiverse to be any different than our world and this universe, then we're straying from its essence. Take a look around you. Welcome to the multiverse. We're experiencing it by definition and for us, there's no ...

Someone once asked, If time, like space, is actually a physical dimension, could a higher dimensional being be able to physically cross through time the same way we cross a street? That's one great example.    Another example of transcending ("to rise above or go beyond the limits of") time might be our natural deaths.   To gain objectivity, let's try to re-think our notion of time and space.   (Einstein mentioned it as being one thing, "spacetime."  Let's not forget these are words our ancestors came up with to describe or define aspects of our natural world we had not initially understood.) To suggest that "time" and "space" aren't really separate is to hint at a greater glimpse of truth:  that there exists no separation at all between anything in our known universe.  To see the entire cosmos as a singularity of which we all are necessarily parts.   We must really consider what "language" actually is in or...

  I am a poet: an amateur astronomer without a telescope.   Here's my idea I like to refer to as the "organic hypothesis of planet-formation" (as opposed to the standard "gravitational theory" and alternative ones such as the recent "electrical theory" of planetary formation).  In my organic hypothesis — strictly fanciful for the express purpose of keeping us on our mental toes, so to speak — our local star produces all the planets: birthing them like seeds.  Over epochal periods of time, each planet gradually (indiscernible to our mayfly-like existences) moves farther away from their parent star...each recently birthed planetoid eventually replacing the spot formerly occupied by their next elder sibling. (This would explain how Mars now contains traces of the life that once flourished when it formerly occupied the space Earth currently does; and furthermore, it may explain how all the spat-out and spent planetary husks end up as plutinos and twotinos...

    Our imaginations are dreaming us.     Remember that matter exists in four states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma (lightning, etc).   Dreaming illuminates the impossible.  Human consciousness is akin to light itself.   We come into existence, that is, possibility — from the negative realm of impossibility itself.    " Somewhere in the future you are already dead "...  A. A. Attanasio  said that.  When we dream, we access reservoirs of impossible memories.  How so? Easily.  Realize: "magic" itself (embedded within "imagination") appears to literally be the force behind creation itself. (Look no further than the Uncertainty Principle for proof of this.)  Most of us forget there are *four* possible known states of matter (not just the three typical states of solid, liquid, and gas).  The fourth known state is *plasma* (lightning itself is a form of it).  My point?  To remi...

We know that when we look into ourselves as a human being, we see that the human being is made only of non-human elements.  We have the mineral element in us. We have the element of vegetable in us, and we have the element animal in us. We not only have human ancestors, but also animal ancestors, and vegetable ancestors, and also mineral ancestors. And our ancestors do not belong to the past: they belong to the present. They are fully present in us. Without them, we cannot see the way we see. We cannot think the way we  think.  We cannot live the way we live. And the electron is also in us. So when I produce a thought, every ancestor in me, including the mineral, vegetable, and animal ancestors collaborate with me in order to produce that thought.  ~Thich Nhat Hanh 

I have realized that human babies really are an extension of our own selves burrowing onward through this world. I've been stricken by how together we all really are; the very idea of separateness now seems like an alien concept to me. Of course there's difficulty explaining fleeting thought impulses which define the understanding of how and why humanity interrelates with this universe, but I'll try: humankind fits rather like metacarpals connecting a body together. This is why there appears to be no such thing as separateness. Unless one wishes to consider the idea of separateness as a real thing, then it would be called an illusion or a fancy. Of course power lies within the imagination. Anything that may be conceived in the mind could possibly be put to fruition here in the real world.  Perhaps our destiny lies in creating separateness for this universe.  If we bother to try and perceive what's going on around us, appearances dictate that doing an efficient job...

The purpose of numbers is to divide the whole. Never forget that there is only one number. The ancient Greeks once believed our universe originated from a silver egg. The primeval god Phanes ("First-born") whose father was Aion, (also known as Chronos, "Time") was considered to be the hermaphroditic divinity of procreation. Phanes was known as The Revealer—having first entered our creation as light itself. He shone forth as the First-Born radiating all with love. He was described as a hidden, brilliant scion with a whirring motion, who flapped his wings to scatter the darkness away, thus manifesting pure light. He was depicted as being entwined with a serpent, and as having wings. He may be the father of dragons. He was once married to Nyx ("Night")—together they presided over day and night—establishing a unity of opposites. The Greek philosopher Aristophanes named him Eros, and there is a suggestion that Nyx was also his mother, and that she al...
