Yes. Energy. Shit, Bill Hicks says "We are
the universe experiencing itself" and stoners think it's the most profound shit anyone has ever said. All the Tool loving dorks nut in their own pants. But I say that "you" are
the current of energy that rolls across your skull-steak as you think rather than the meat and it's
preposterous somehow.
Hym "No, hey, don't say 'energy' like that I know it's vague I haven't fleshed it out yet. You sound like Matt... And not your Matt the other Matt... But yes. Energy. You (LIKE the universe but not AS the universe) are a 'potential guy' being actualized by way of biological mechanism and sensory data... Over time... Or something... I'll get there.
This is a thing! I'm sure of it. Your being is comprised of the potential reality that comprises
everything else. FOR EXAMPLE! Imagine the universe stops expanding. Time stops. Everything this frozen in space. You now have a finite sphere of spacetime-reality. The analogy the atheists always
use is 'it's like bread raising in an oven'. Now go to the edge. Now go AN INCH out from the edge... What's there? What occupies the NOT-space that exists just outside of this finite sphere of spacetime? You could say 'Nothing' but can it even BE 'nothing?' It MUST be (at the very least) 'potential spacetime-reality.' Right? Because in whatever unit of time you would attribute to the universe expanding 1 inch it will (as a matter of
absolute certainty) BECOME SPACETIME-REALITY as soon as you restart the expansion of the universe. So, yeah, ontologically real wellspring of potential reality that is actualizing itself. Is it intentional or does it just do that?
I don't know. But it seems pretty reality-monstery to me."
