The Entire Meaning of Life, or Something
Answer: Yes. Easily. Though that likely surprises you...
*Do you disagree?
***Wait. ****Curve ball ⚾
****Question: ****Are you the universe?
☑️ YES ❎NO
If you feel like you can’t change the world much, I can prove you wrong.
If you think you are not the universe, I can prove you wrong.
I bet you my entire being, that your mind will begin to change by the end of this essay...
...if you’re not scared to change.
What excuse will you make? No matter. This will be here. Burning. Flourishing.
You may choose not to think about it. Or... begin to change.
No ❌ Yes 👇
Okay. Warm up time:
You are not a citizen. You are not your religion. You are not your skin pigment. You are not a man nor woman. You are not your sexuality. You are not your body. You are not your brain. You are not a human. You are not life.
You are much more than that...
Scientifically. Inarguably. All the other “labels” we apply to ourselves are sub-categorical parts that fail to describe us wholly on their own.
It’s one thing to think this thought, and another to know it: fully embrace it and the ramifications associated with it. When you realize you are the universe, the universe becomes self-aware through your realization, similar to how children touch their own noses when recognizing themselves in the mirror for the first time. Knowing you are the universe forces you to reorganize your priorities, and one of the results is the realization that you, as an individual being, can change the universe.
YOU can change the entire universe, all by yourself, because you are the universe.
”Feel good bull****!”, I hear it already. Makes me sad. I know what the mainstream has taught you because they indoctrinated me as well. I know the lessons you have learned - endless resistance, defeat after defeat, “know your place,” systemic failure, accepted power imbalances everywhere. LEARNED HELPLESSNESS. These lessons stick well in the world we have built on them.
It will understandably elicit strong skepticism when someone says something like:
It is possible for an individual to change the entire planet with merely a thought.
However, it’s true.
A string of the perfect words in the perfect order. (Sometimes it’s 95 theses worth of words...) (Sometimes it sounds crazy at first... and it may well be)
All the single being has to do is say them over and over, and sometimes, miraculously, that is all it takes. Of course, it often requires more “effort,” to make the impact you’re here to make, but once you’re aligned with your purpose in the universe, that initial effort which eludes so many will be summoned effortlessly because you know what you are... all the “who am I” stuff will follow too.
Hahaha, reality sure bucks, doesn’t she?
We can examine the history of the universe and exam the trends that are occurring to extrapolate where we are headed, the “universal trajectory.” If humanity aligned with this, we would be capable of becoming a new superorganism that more or less functions as a brain for the universe, or at least a part of a brain... for what purpose is unclear. However, your heart doesn’t ask why it beats, it just does what it’s supposed to
WORK IN PROGRESS:
All life forms are made of stardust (the universe) and thus literally are the universe while also being a functional extension of it; humanity is to the universe as the clusters of clumps of brain cells are to the emergence of “one person.” The Universe becomes aware of itself through our realization of these simple facts.
