Worlds Within Worlds

     If the similarities evidenced in the two pictures above don’t startle you, then you’re not looking closely enough.

     The bright blobs you can see at the left in the picture of the brain cell are neuron cells. The ones shown in the picture on the right are clusters of galaxies. By any measure, the similarities between the two are staggering. Each appear to be nested within a vast “web”, one of brain matter and the other of “dark” matter. In the first, electrons are orbiting a nucleus. In the second, planets are orbiting a Sun.

     The icing on the cake perhaps is the discovery by physicists in 2005 that the structure of a brain cell is the same as that of the universe.

     So let us consider this following proposition.

     We are living within one enormous cosmic brain cell. One could say, within the mind of God. God could simply be the universe at large. It may even be a ”He” or a “She”. But for the sake of this theory, I want you to think of God as nothing more than a Process.

     Deep within this cell, amongst what we call “star systems” and “galaxies” is our little earth. Just a tiny speck orbiting around this grand cell. As we move around hurridly on our tiny planet, anyone holding a giant microscope up to it would observe us like a scientist observes an atom, or molecule – nesting billions of busy electrons.

     As we go about our daily lives we forget what we are – pure energy encased in flesh and bone. Our mind the map and our heart the engine, and each of us sharing a collective subconscious. We dream, create and inspire, bouncing off each other’s energy. Assuming that we are in fact living inside God’s brain cell, whatever it is that collectively concentrate on, we are drawing ourselves to it, because we are his conscience, collectively influencing God’s will. We’re the influence God is under, thus creating our own reality – and as our minds expand, so does Gods, and therefore so does our universe. Do you follow?

     That is the big picture. So let us look at our individual picture.

     We are welcomed into this process from the very moment of conception. The act of love by man and woman. The passion. The orgasm. The impregnation, nature’s most wonderful process. And the beginning of your new life. You’re floating, at total peace. Everything is calm and tranquil. You’re bathing in a divine warmth. There is a light that you find yourself moving towards. As you reach this light, you move out of the warmth, out of the peaceful floating, and before you know it, you’re in a new world altogether.

     You gradually reach the growth process, the observation and learning process. Human interaction. Interaction with the wild earth and its creatures. The discovery of our amazing creativity and warmth. Our experience of life and love and pain. Teaching others of our lessons learned. Our discovery of self and purpose. Our passing of the spiritual torch as we find our own love and procreate. Our beautiful seed grows, blooming into a miniature version of ourselves, soon becoming their own master with time. We glide into old age as time seems to speed up.

     When we’re reflecting on it all in the short time before we pass, we hope that our legacy honours this truly amazing experience we’ve shared with our fellow sparks of unique energy in human form. Our friends. Our family. Our species. All Things we observe and appreciate. When we try to think of a solitary unified “meaning” to our lives, a part of us chuckles. There never was any meaning. Life was simply a process (albeit a fascinating and eventful one!)

      Now we accept our the arrival of our departure from the physical world. Our breathing slows. The heart stops beating, and gives the go-ahead for the real you, that flicker, that spark, that energy to transfer from our shells, our bodies into the quiet realm of tranquility and peace.

     Once again, you feel like you’re floating, and once again, you are. Everything is warm. And there, you wait. You wait and re-energize. Then when you are ready for the next human experience, so is your conduit. At once, it happens… a cry of ecstacy from so far away it may as well be another world. And technically speaking, it is. The mission of two lovers complete. Your conduit prepared, as you appear in the womb of your conduit, a new life with a new heartbeat. Slowly, you grow. Surely enough, you soon see that light again. This is the strange and familiar invitation into the new world.

     The tunnel is the womb. The light is its opening.

     You’re being born.

     And just as new life is blooming in the outer reaches of space in the form of star systems and planets, a baby’s life begins to bloom within the world. Worlds within worlds. It goes down to the most minute and microscopic of levels. You only have to look at an atom through a high-power lens to see proof of this. There is life, movement and energy inside everything at every conceivable level. One thing dies, and passes into something else. It is simply one continuous transfer of energy.

     Take Dr Duncan MacDougall’s controversial experiment back in 1907. MacDougall weighed six patients while they were in the process of dying. He took his results to support his hypothesis that the soul had mass, and when the soul departed the body, so did this mass. In each and every case, it weighed an exact 21 grams. 

     We’re eternal and unique spirits of pure energy on a universal carousel. Our brilliance recycled as infinately as it is deliberately, working in a beautiful sequence with nature itself. All is as it should be, however chaotic, colourful and crazy.

     After all, that’s the nature of our minds, and as we are slowly finding out, of the entire universe.

     And that is by no means coincidence.
