Hello everyone. First OP outside Introductions, and I thought I would share with you all, my perception of how I see reality. Now, I'm not a religious person by any means, which is bound to happen when someone has Jehovah Witnesses on one side of the family, and Mormons on the other

. I've tried to explain my thoughts to others, however, I always have a hard time painting a picture with words, hell, I even had a hard time putting it into a picture by painting it.

Also, take note, this perspective comes from someone who's bookshelf includes science fiction, as well and science non-fiction, with a preference for the latter. I've been tested with a genius level IQ, though I've probably done enough drugs in my time to drop several points

(PSA: Stick to NATURAL substances kids). I've never had enough interest to read the Bible, Quran, or counterpart. I don't believe HAARP is going to destroy the world. I believe it to be more likely that extraterrestrial intelligence exists than I do terrestrial intelligence. I'm very open minded, but not gullible (opinion). Oh, and I love me some Minecraft.

I would love to hear some thoughts on it, good or bad. I do feel strongly about my ideas, but I don't assume to know or understand everything, so additional input would be asum sauce!

Now, the diagram I made below is explained in further in the lettered bullets below, and while this is not how I perceive the geometry of reality, I think it gets the point across. So, without further ado....

(A) The Source, Heaven, Astral Plane, True Reality

Here is where all of anyone who exists, has existed, or will exist, always exists. Here, you and I, and everyone else, is connected.

This is the ‘real’ world. Consisting of ‘pure’ energy, thought, and information, none of which can be created or destroyed, all of which is one in the same.

All streams of consciousness, energy and information merge at some point, into a singularity, a source. The source is responsible for all creation in the universe(s). It defines information, which determines the rules for which energy behaves, and how consciousness splinters into self aware individuality, with the intended purpose to experience... life.

Here time is what you move through, and space is what is experienced.

(B) The Universe(s), Matrix, Perceived Reality

Here energy is programmed via the information that originates from the source, much like living organisms are programmed via DNA.

Energy takes on many forms in the universe(s), and the programming it receives to construct all that we observe is beyond comprehension. If you look deep enough, small enough, what may seem like randomness, is an elegant design. A design so complex, the seed of the universe itself has grown to be what we see today. Here laws are defined by the construct, and while we may not understand the purpose of all the universe(s) contains, there is a purpose for everything.

Here our individuality truly separates. We are all able to have unique learning experiences through life, a much more efficient means of running through the program, as opposed to us all being constraint to the source consciousness. It is our playground, in which everything but consciousness is quarantined from the source. So as to not disturb its perfection.

Here we move through space, and experience time.

(C) Stars

The factories and engines of the universe. The conduits in which energy is passed from the source to the universe(s). Stars have many different forms, as well as stages in there cycles, including black holes, and even the big-bang. Each form and stage existing with a different purpose. From seeding the universe(s) with energy, stabilizing entropy, turning the cycles that cascade throughout the universe(s), and providing the scaffolding on which the universe(s) rests

The stars rest on the boundary between the source and the universe(s), and is the only physical connection between the two.

Space, time, matter, energy, and gravity, are all relative to the existence (and observation) of stars

(D) The Brain

Open a brain and find where someone exists. Where is individuality located? Where is self-awareness located?

The brain is an antenna. A conduit for consciousness, much like stars are for energy. Our consciousness does not exist in our brain, or anywhere in the universe(s) for that matter. I remains eternal, in the source.

The brain is a control center for observation. It is a storage bank (much like RAM in a computer) for the information and memories we need in this life outside of the source. It is the hand of the puppeteer who remains in the source.

(E) Observation

It is not light which travels at the fastest speed in the universe(s), rather it is information, which is instantaneous. Observation is based on what consciousness can perceive within the universe(s), and is the conduit for information.

The universe is efficient in design. While the stars provide the stuff we see in the universe(s), it is observation that shapes and defines it.

(F) Information Takes Form

Through observation, the information stored within the source, alters the energy released by the stars. Energy takes the form of matter when observed, as if everything that exists in the universe(s) spikes into existence the very moment it is observed.

While it may seem impossible to suggest that if something isn't seen it isn't there, creating massive cavities in 'reality', consciousness is so prevalent throughout the universe that nothing has actually existed beyond what is being perceived.

End

So one of the big questions I ponder to myself, is a "chicken or egg" scenario, as to who/what observed the universe(s) to begin with, causing matter to spike into existence and create more vessels for which consciousness could make observations. Though my line of thinking is not set in stone, I may be exposed at some point to new ideas that may alter my perception, who knows, I might figure out a hypotheses to answer it.

Anyway, the point of this all was to give you a good read, and maybe open your mind to some possibilities you may have otherwise never had or expose myself to some I've never had. I hope you enjoyed it.

I look forward to your insight.

Some very very smart people believe that we are in a type of matrix, and that nothing really exists unless it is observed. Consciousness seems to be the creative force in the universe.

Here is a free pdf E-book by Thomas Campbell called My Big Toe that describes 30 years of
research on this topic. It is very very good , although I have only just begun reading it I'm guessing its in your library already Lighterside?

I have not read this actually, and I thank you for providing the link. Looks like it's something up my alley, I'll be sure to dive in, seems very interesting!

I also wanted to address the use of "Universe(s)" in the OP.

I believe that it is more than likely there are multiple universes that are parallel to our own. I know main stream science suggest that in a multiple universes scenario it is likely that other universes may have completely different laws of physics. I however would tend to lean against that idea.

The reason why multiple universes my exist in my line of thinking roots back to the efficiency of the design, in the way that a single consciousness splinters out into many. Think about it like this: if you are the source, and your plan is to spread yourself into many varied forms of consciousness with the intent to experience life, and had the ability to not just do this once per consciousness, but rather an infinite amount of times for the purpose of experiencing all and any variable, wouldn't you?

..... but now that I think about it, wouldn't they all just run the same way anyway? Ah crap, boxed myself in, now I am indecisive again.

.... but wait a second, maybe if the rules per universe are different as main stream science suggests, then there would be variances in the experiences by a single branch of consciousness.

Hmmmm

Personally, I believe you have some good concepts. In my opinon every moment of life could very well be a new universe. Since we are nothing but concious perception and ultimately our own creators, we decide how our universe is. Basically altering our universe every moment we percieve this reality. So yes...I experience the same people every day in a sense. But, the energy we put out may very well enter us in a new universe every moment. You put out negative energy and you get a more negative universe. You put out the positive energy and it becomes the contrast to the negative. This is my personal concept from my soulsearching.

On a side note if you look at people in the past such as Nostradamus and anyone else who has had semi accurate prophecies, this fits in perfectly. It would certainly explain why only some things come to be. The energy you put out could alter your own perception of what will happen. So basically I am saying all his predictions could have been correct. It's just that the energy people omit changes and therefore the possibilities. This would explain why it may not come to be. So all his predictions could have been true in another parallel universe. You just were not born into that sequence of events.

I've thought of these same notions before, positive and negative input and output as well as every moment and every decision or variable creating a new parallel universe.

What I ponder is this.

Did it all start with one universe, that splintered out based on every possibility, or was were these universes infinitely spawned all at once?

Does it matter if we output negative or positive energy or karma? What I mean is, maybe you are supposed to experience complete negativity, unhappiness, chaos, etc. While at the same time you are supposed to experience complete positivity, as well as the full range of the spectrum between the two? Maybe my consciousness spread across all universes is supposed to know what it is to hate, to kill, to fear, to love, to create, to share, etc. Dipping into the 'Everything in the universe(s) has a purpose'.
