Well said, Christopher White.

Things Are Different In My Bubble




“In the chaotic inflation theory, a variant of the cosmic inflation theory, the multiverse as a whole is stretching and will continue doing so forever, but some regions of space stop stretching and form distinct bubbles, like gas pockets in a loaf of rising bread. There exists an infinite number of such bubbles which are embryonic level I multiverses of infinite size. Different bubbles may experience different spontaneous symmetry breaking resulting in different properties such as different physical constants.” –Wikipedia (italics are mine)

Things Are Different In My Bubble

Why do I feel that
the contents of Now
have been dumped in my head long ago?
Could it be one rehearsal,
by actors unknown,
in part of a great quantum show?

I may just be wrong,
but this egocentric perspective
could be a distorted intrusion
of a different reality bubble
bumping my own pet illusion.

In a strange quantum space
could I not be there,
intruding in some being’s head,
causing serious doubt,
of reality or truth,
and some consternation,
or dread?

Is life, as we know it,
a non-linear trip,
in which we exist
through illusions?
Could our Dharma be nudged,
by reality bubbles,
to serendipitous quantum conclusions?

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
