Hi Mike,
Very interesting read.
I have come to the conclusion that this Universe we are seeing is very similar to a computer interface. Just like at the quantum level, all that exists is pure energy/potential, so too, inside a computer, all that exists are 1s and 0s. But I think we would rather die than to interact with computers using just 1s and 0s. So we create “higher level languages” and a visual interface which is a symbolic representation for the only reality, that of 1s and 0s. In other words, our 5 senses and the world that we perceive has undergone the same evolutionary exercise as anything else. They have evolved as the “superior” interface to interact with pure potential/energy without “breaking” the whole Universe. If you know anything about computers, you’ll know that if we could interact with them using 1s and 0s, then there are no limits. You could overclock your CPU 100x, make your hard drive spin backwards, you could fry your computer in a matter of seconds.
The fact that we experience the same objective “outside” reality is because we are in a network. Each and every person has a “copy” of the same interface/operating system inside their brain (the way we are “wired”), and so our perception and interaction with reality will be synchronized.
The fact that the outside world is just a symbolic representation for otherwise pure potential/energy is very helpful because it allows you to really understand that we have created on the outside (our society) what we are on the inside.
The Internet is our nervous system, the financial system is our circulatory/heart system, agriculture is our digestive system… as a collective global organism (humanity) where each human is one cell. And blockchain, for instance, is a very nice symbolic representation of how our “objective reality” works as well. A sort of “consensus reality” between all “nodes” in a network, just like our so called “objective” reality, that we experience, is just a consensus reality made manifest by the consensus of all nodes in the network (animals, humans, plants, bacteria… perhaps even minerals), voting every single second what the next “frame” of reality should be, which “shape” or form should pure energy/potential “mold” into the next second. What we are offered right now, as an opportunity, is to update our interface, like moving from MS DOS to Windows, which will significantly alter the possible interactions with pure energy/potential. And this we have done on multiple occasions. The moment you change your interface from one where you believe things are “magical” to ones where you create a certain model (Newtonian physics, Einstein’s relativity…), it allows you to experience “new” things or “mold” pure energy/potential in a different way.
Symbolically, what is happening to humanity now, is quite simply… our own birth. It’s painful, but on the other side, you experience a totally “new” Universe, as you have described in your article. This paradigm shift is akin to a baby being born, leaving the womb. And whatever he “thought” the “Universe” or reality was from it’s limited perspective, is nothing compared to what that baby gets to experience once it is on the outside. The Universe is just that: a set of Russian dolls nested inside one another into infinity. A fractal, inside a fractal, inside a fractal. And we are reaching the “bridge” between one fractal and the next. The “bridge” between biology and something else, just like a living cell is the bridge between biology and chemistry, just like a Sun is the bridge between physics and chemistry. It’s going to be quite an experience so hang on tight! :-)
