What do I think of the Universe?

I often indulge myself into extreme thoughts of this world. Why is it that we, humans, do the things we do? It actually doesn't have to be limited to humans at all. Why is it anything does what it does? There are so many possibilities of what this world could actually be, of what we could actually be. And I am going to seriously cultivate these possibilities forming in my imagination.

First of all, to satisfy the scientologists, the world could surely be just as it seems. Maybe Thomas Hobbes was correct in his "what you see is what you get" materialism theory. The world could be something along the lines of, "Hey, this is a plant. It is a plant, a plant, and nothing but a plant. Ditto for the rock." Although my own spiritual beliefs quickly reject this philosophy, you never know. It could definitely make life a whole lot easier if what we see in this world was black or white. However, these sharply defined lines wouldn't give us room to conceive or create higher level thoughts as we wished, which is why I highly dismiss this theory.

On a more celestial level, the earth, and especially this universe, have been around longer than our incompetent little minds could ever comprehend. As much as you'd like to think you know, you don't know how anything was created. Sure it could have been the Big Bang theory, God could have created all, or everything could have just appeared. But possibly try to imagine what could have existed before the very first star or planet. Where does that put our little cell of the Universe earth? Probably nowhere. We honestly probably don't mean anything. Our wars, our lives, our bodies, and all of our possessions are beyond insignificant in the place of this vast Universe. This world could mean absolutely nothing at all. The only thing, I believe, that has any actual power whatsoever is our thoughts. The only reason we are put here is to nourish our thoughts and knowledge for something in the very distant future. I think it is highly possible that our soul is our thoughts instead of the commonly connotated spirit of the heart, even though it could play a small part. Our bodies and world are 110% dispensable and used only for the purpose of creating a proper learning environment for higher understanding.

Now, on the other hand, the earth could be an experiment. A much higher power could be watching, studying us. Maybe it's not a higher power, but it is definitely something with much more intelligence than us. I'm not pointing fingers directly to the image we as a race have of "aliens," but with this theory that is imminently the way to describe it. There is also a 99% chance that if this was a correct assumption, we would be an experiment because we lack the serious intellect that would be needed to be anything other than an experiment. For example, in Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, Billy Pilgrim is captured by the Tralfamadorians, who have extremely advanced minds, and he is taken to their home planet. This is where he is displayed for months in a zoo. I'm not the only one to think of our world and race as an experiment. Thank you, Kurt Vonnegut, for your support.

Very obviously, our little Milky Way galaxy isn't the only galaxy in the Universe. So, in theory, there could be billions of other Universes out there as well. I like to think of it as whatever higher power there is has our Universe on a table in a glass. The other Universes are on the same table but in different glasses. You all know what a parallel Universe is. I'm sure that our Universe isn't in a glass, but that is just a visual representation of what it could be like. It makes me wonder what fills the space between Universes. If a parallel Universe was so, everything we say and do could have been carefully planned and thought out some place else. Maybe in a different dimension. Each Universe could possibly be a different dimension, this just happens to be the third. Of course, we don't know how to do this, but other things from other dimensions could technically weave in and out of our world as they wished. They could show parts of themselves and other parts they could hide. They could basically do whatever they wanted. But then if you think about it, our minds are powerful enough to go to any dimension we wished. It wouldn't be while we were conscious, so in our dreams we would be able to come and go from this world as we pleased. Anything is plausible.

We only use 10% of our mind's potential power anyway, so I'm thinking that when we sleep and dream, we could use more of that. I also believe that serious drugs and hallucinogens stimulate your brain so that it uses more than 10%. I'm not saying you should do drugs to stimulate your thoughts, but I am saying that the images you see while on LSD or something could potentially be your mind working at a higher level. It creates chemical reactions in your brain that it is not used to, which causes it to go places it has not ever before. Using drugs like this would probably put 14% or 15% of your mind to use. Think of how different the world would be if everyone used even 25% of their minds. Maybe in the next couple worlds we journey through, the percentage of the mind we use will steadily increase.

There is so much on our planet of religion, the earliest of people had a God they worshipped, and it has been that way ever since the existence of man. The million dollar question is, however, which religion is the correct one? You might say Catholic, Jewish, Islam. I say all are correct. Each religion has their fallacies, but each religion has their own idea of God or a higher Divine Spirit. This "God" created the planets and universe, you live on this particular planet, and then something happens after you die (I'm excluding Atheism, since it is basically the lack of religion). You don't have to believe in God, you don't have to believe in anything. But I think this is where the Law of Attraction comes into its most seriously play. What you think is reflected in your actions. If you are Catholic and believe that if you do not get to go to Heaven unless you repent all of your sins, then that is what is going to happen to you. If you are spiritual and believe that Death is just the beginning of a higher journey, that is what is going to happen. If you are Atheist and believe nothing will happen, nothing will happen. The Secret describes the Universe as a genie with, "Your wish is my command." I think that accurately describes religion. This world and your life could have been created by a God, or not, but whatever you believe is what you get.

On a much higher level of thinking, this might not even be our real life at all. What if this was just a pre- or post-life. Our lives on this earth could just be preparing us for something much greater to come. Well, I'm positive that this is just preparing us for an "afterlife." But, it wouldn't really be an afterlife if the world we live in now is a pre-life. Try to imagine what your real life would be like if this was just a prelude. On the flip side, it could be a post-life. This is where we go after we die in our previous life, a sort of purgatory, if you will. Think of your journey, although you don't know where it starts, as going through a multi-story mansion. You start at the bottom, and in my opinion the bottom isn't your life on this planet, and work your way up. The earth is most definitely not the top story either. It probably isn't even close. The question here is, what is on the top story? I don't know, you don't know, maybe it never ends. We'll just have to see when we get there, because the end of this life is not the end of your journey.

The only logical conclusion I have drawn is the fact that there are multiple levels of worlds you go through, and this insignificant planet is just a temporary home for spiritual growth. You don't have to agree with me, and most of you probably will not. But I conceived this idea and in my mind, if you can conceive it, it is possible. Descartes thought same way. He believed that if we imperfect beings could imagine a perfect God, then he must exist. I am not perfect, I imagined these theories, therefore they could exist. It's all perception of what you see in the Universe and how you want to transcend through your journey. You choose.
