What if—at our cores—we’re secretly parts of an all-powerful being that purposefully limited itself, so that it could experience the joy of rediscovering its own power? Then all of existence would simultaneously be the cruelest, most empowering game we ever decided to play.
Because collectively—at our all-powerful cores—we CHOSE to experience every atrocity, every triumph, every birth, and every death.
Wow, I am at loss for words. 🙂 Very deep and thought-provoking post, DirtySci-Fi Buddha. 🙂
Hey DirtySciFiBuddha, I have a quick question. I am just doing some housekeeping. Does it show you automatically following me or is it hard to find the button? I just see your likes on my end. There might be glitch with both of my blogs being linked up together. I am not sure. Please let me know. 🙂
Sure! My email is kentwayneauthor@gmail.com, I check it every morning. Just followed you again—if you want, I can send a screenshot to you.

I have considered something similar: Perhaps we are all immortal beings, and in our boredom we play “simulations”. And, if this is the case, the “Earth Simulation” will recieve a 3 star rating when I wake up.
I believed this quite seriously for about six months as a teenager! Now I believe it’s one of an infinite number of descriptions of reality that might be true or partially true or at least thought-provoking 😀
PS. have you seen the film Annihilation? At least on my interpretation of the movie it relates to this in some ways…
I sometimes have thoughts like this too, like we are all eyeballs of a multi-eyed creature, able to look at each other but unaware of the connective tissue that binds us, except indirectly, or through speculation. Sometimes I think of the metaphor of a many-fingered hand, same basic idea. I think you are correct though, that we don’t yet understand the ways in which we are connected at the root. The tree is yet another metaphor. handy things, those 😀
So great to hear someone say this. Me and my husband talk about this a lot, we believe it but it is hard to hold into in day to day life. And no one talks about it, or no one we know anyway, not in depth or seriously anyway. Thank you.
What if the universe is a set of electrons and protons in a bigger set of electrons and protons in bigger set…..
