cogito ergo sumthin.
I had an epiphany.
Everyone says we are terribly tiny, insignificant on such a vast macrocosmic spectrum. How could our lives be of any importance? How does it matter how I treat my fellow man, when in the blink of an eye, he or I could be on our way to a box in the dirt, dissipating from physical being to a mere memory to nothingness?
Think about the intricacy of our known universe, and how its all completely balanced in the perfect way, mathematically and physically. A cornucopia of light and dark, networks with remarkable functionality, the beautiful ballet movement. It all works perfectly.
Now think about the same beautiful function and balance of a cell, atom, electron, quirk- the whole microcosmic shindig. It all works perfectly.
My father once told me that on a molecular scale, it was like throwing down marbles multiple times and finding them lying in identical patterns on the ground every single time.
Size of matter is irrelevant. Homeostasis is a constant in the universe, the maintenance of equilibrium, for continuation of existence, all of it. Perhaps its a will. Consciousness could reside on multiple scales as well.
And just as the smallest cell is a part of a system, a beautiful contribution, so is a planet in a solar system.
Maybe there is a cosmic consciousness, and if there were our physicality is obsolete, our own consciousness would be just as precious. Same proportions of significance as I explained are in the physical universe.
I watched a documentary, and yes skepticism is important when tampering with these things, but I believed what was said in this documentary. Not to mention the speaker was a physicist. He had a near-death experience that forever altered his perception, and love of existence. (one of innumerable accountings of such an experience)
At the very moment his brain was reported dead, he felt himself exit his body as if being sucked through a straw, he flew. He understood that he was on the wing of a butterfly (gay right?) and he saw in a way that wasnt dreamlike, nor the same vision of our own typical analogue reality as we perceive it. He then popped into the universe, I forget some details that were probably significant and beautiful but most importantly I recall him explaining that he was extricated from the universe and he saw the cosmos in their entirety. It was a beautiful entangled web, and he somehow understood that the most important component of all of this, was love.
I dont normally post shit on the internet, and when i do seldom is it spiritual or serious like this and its almost embarrassing but Im almost certain like 2 people will read this so whaaaatever.
