They say our universe has expanded and contracted back into its self at least 3 times in its great history, on one of my higher peak experiences i was shown/participated this dance, three times the universe was made in a glorious expansion from the singular point, and three times it was condensed back into the point, nothing was lost all was gained transmuted and reborn.
the dance at the time was a bit exhausting for me, it seems it takes a lot of concentration(or maybe not, i may have been straining unnecessarily hard) to hold on for that ride as the universe has a bit of a different concept of the nature of time....
I was shown the first life forms, the universes experiments with the nature of its self, as an apex was reached the reverse contraction started and the universe along with me was again condensed into the singular point, and again the extreme unleashing of raw energy blasted it back into being for another go at "it", three times we danced into oblivion and back out, on the third out it seems one of the organisms that had formed was one i recognized as humans, i was shown my time line coming up and as i was too exhausted to continue, the universe may have sensed i needed a rest and i was allowed to regain my concept of time and space.....
until the next dance....
It took many months if not years to wrap around that one, and the nature of the experience was not fully reviled to me (still to this day pieces find there places) until years later when i came across some writings of a astrophysicist that shed a great deal of insight on the nature of the eternal cosmic dance.....
one can only hope to be rested and ready when the universe decides to start the dance on its terms again.....i was shown, ether way once is on, one must do our best to fully embrace the experience and enjoy the ride.....
sometimes i wonder if the universe was using me as reflection to form and build apon itself, and if so... we'll just say the implications of this make me want to be the best being i can...
humbling is a good word.....
