People often say they can’t fathom a never-ending universe.

Question.

Can you fathom a universe that has an end?

Think.

Isn’t it just as hard to imagine a universe that has an end as it is to imagine a never ending universe? Imagine the universe having an end. What does your mind immediately jump to a picture of? Well, what’s beyond the end of the universe, and the end of that, and the end of that, and the end of that, and the end of that? We want to imagine the universe as having an end because on Earth, in our experience, everything has an end. At the same time, there is always something beyond the end of everything else. Beyond my feet is my room, beyond that is my house, beyond that is the sky, beyond that is the solar system, beyond that is the galaxy, beyond that is deep space and more galaxies…

You see? At the same time as you’re having a hard time imagining something with no end, you’re in essence creating an image of something that has no end.

There is a theory out there which states that we are all figments of each other’s imaginations.  In essence, I only exist because you and I believe I exist and you only exist because you and I believe you exist.

Think.

Under this theory if someone can believe something to be true they can alter reality.

Problem.

This could be possible at least when a person is alone and no one else’s precepts of reality are in the way, but how could we ever know or prove it since it requires that person being completely alone?

Also, a problem lies in how would one create a new reality?  If believing hard enough you could see the altered reality with your eyes and believe it was real enough is the issue here, than how come ever person on an acid trip isn’t affecting reality?  One possible answer could be that the subconscious mind is still clinging to tightly to the original perception of reality and is maintaining an awareness that reality is that the hallucinations are not real making the reality that they are hallucinations as opposed to an altered reality.

Filming it would not work because as soon as you showed the tape to others their precepts of reality could interfere and either change what was on the tape or their minds simply would refuse to see what was on the tape.

Ponder.

If the problem lies in more than one person sharing  a common vision and belief hard enough, what of mass hallucinations?  Why are groups suffering a mass hallucination unable to alter the state of reality?  Is it that each sees a different version of that reality and in order to actually affect change from a hallucination to altered reality there needs to be an exact common vision of what that altered reality is?  If it were possible to get a group of people to all have the exact same hallucination and could get them to believe it was reality, could they in fact change reality?

Note.

Again.  It made sense in my head.  I was stoned.
