Reading the Universal Dream Page
While reading about Heisenberg’s uncertainty principal, it struck me — as I sure it has many people — how profound a clue this is to the true nature of reality.
You know when you dream, and you’re dreaming that you’re reading something, and you can’t read it twice because the words constantly change? Have you ever had that experience? It’s because the words on the page in your dream are actually your thoughts, and since your thoughts aren’t static, they can’t remain intact on your dream-page. The words flow and change constantly.
This may be the true nature of the uncertainty principal in physics. You look at the basic particles of reality and they’re constantly changing. You can’t know how fast they’re going, and at the same time know where they are, and they’re constantly borrowing energy from the future or past. Just like words flowing willy-nilly over a dream page.
Could it be this way because we’re trying to look at our own thoughts, or perhaps God’s thoughts? Because reality is a mere dream, whether it be our own, or God’s?
Could it be that the Universe itself is sentient? Why not? We are, and we’re almost infinitely less complex than the Universe.
Could it be we are the thoughts inside a Universal Mind, thoughts which are trying to see themselves and the Mind which they inhabit? It’s akin to a self-aware AI program trying to figure out the true nature of reality from INSIDE the computer that its reality is running on. All it sees are bits and bytes, not the computer chips or wires.
Similarly all we see are random particles popping in and out of existence. We can’t see outside the “program” which is the Universe. We can’t see the circuits and wires “outside.”
But that doesn’t mean they’re not there.
