In your hand you hold a large white stone the size of an ostrich egg.
You are suspended far above a vast dark sea.
The surface of the sea is as flat as a millpond.
All is silent.
When you drop the stone you will create the Universe.
So drop it.
The stone falls towards the ocean below and after an age you see it strike
the surface of the water, throwing up a waterspout when it impacts. The
surface seethes where the stone disturbed it's equilibrium and then a great
wave starts to ripple ourwards from where the stone hit. Soon a giant
circular expanding wave is moving ourwards at a steady rate. Your universe
is up and running.
Then something strange happens.
The circle seems to have stopped expanding. Then you realise why. In an
infinite sea, an expanding circle has no frame of reference. While the
centre of the circle was still disturbed from the stone fall, you could
measure the size of the circle against the centrepoint. But now that the
centre is still again, you can now discern no movement. In effect, your
moving wave has become a giant standing wave. A great circular standing
wave.
You realise that this means that size, ie dimension, will be an illusion in
your universe.
This means that any part of creation is big enough to contain the whole.
Size is a concept governed by relativity. Size does matter- but only in
relationship. A gnat is the same size as a battleship- until you bring them
together- then they have a "big>small" relationship.
Something else occurs to you too.
The circle is a possibility wave. Within the circle is the realm of the
acomplished. Outside the circle is literally "outside" the bounds of
possibility- that which is yet to be done. Events move from the outside of
the circle, across the wave boundary and into the containment of the actual-
the realised. Like nourishment being drawn into a circular single-cell
organism. organisms are built on the concept of containment.
You decide to view the circle as a fractal.
Now, rather than a wave, you see it with a visible line of circumference
with fractal tendrils reaching out into the future outside the boundary, and
more fractal tendrils lining the inside of the circumference. They remind
you of branches of trees.
Suppose you view the structure in full 3D rather than as as a 2D wave on a
flat sea?
Now it is a fractal sphere. In fact, now it is the planet Earth.
"Hold on a moment," you say, "This sphere is really an expanding sphere, but
our earth is fixed- not expanding."
Well then, it spins rather than expanding. Remember that size doesn't
matter. So consider the earth as a concrete observed spinning electron. It
must occupy a fixed location in orbital space, whereas an unobserved
electron wanders an unbounded orbital of possibility. The Earth and the
electron are both bearers of the spirit. One is macrocosm, the other
microcosm.
The Q-Event takes place at ground level of the planet- the circumference of
the circle, where the spinning(ie expanding) Earth draws "DQ-Possibility"
out of the air and using light within the leaves of its fractal trees it
synthesises or binds light into the actual. This actual tree is rooted into
the surface of the earth. Underground, the roots extend down into the past
towards the singularity that lies at the heart of the "concept" called
Earth.
Photosynthesis is a primal Q-Event that creates both subjects and objects.
That is, it creates both branches and roots. Heaven and Hell. Future and
Past.
The Q-Event is the standing wave of the Eternal NoW- expressed as planet
Earth.
A small planet, but one that is big enough to "contain" the whole Universe.
